KS2 SAMPLE MELODY + GROOVE – FIRST LOOK

This sample is taken from a KS2 lesson where pupils get inside a brand-new Future Yard track and explore it like real musicians preparing to perform it.

They’ll listen closely to uncover the song’s structure, melody and groove, before learning the main vocal part and building confidence with the lyrics, pitch and expression.

Next, they’ll recreate one of the song’s key rhythmic parts using body percussion or classroom instruments, before bringing the rhythm and vocals together as an ensemble.

By the end of the lesson, pupils won’t just have listened to the track: they’ll have started to understand how it works, learned a part for themselves and experienced what it feels like to build up a song together.
