Learning objective
- To understand the history and key features of latin music
National curriculum
Pupils should be taught to:
- Appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians
- Develop an understanding of the history of music
- Play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Consider allocating a limited number of true/false statements to check; the questions about percussion instruments are straightforward as they use picture clues. If using the knowledge catcher in the Wrapping up section, children’s answers could be recorded in discussion with a partner.
Pupils working at greater depth: Encourage these children to use musical vocabulary in their discussion and back up their answers using facts about Latin American music.
