KS2 SAMPLE INTRO’S, BREAKDOWNS + DROPS – FIRST LOOK

This sample is taken from a KS2 session where pupils develop their understanding of how songs are put together and begin making more deliberate musical choices of their own.

In this lesson, pupils explore how contrasting song sections can create excitement, tension and release, and how musicians use structure to take a listener on a journey through a piece of music. They then put this understanding into practice, working in small groups to arrange contrasting sections into their own performances.

The sample below includes the opening videos from the lesson, introducing the key musical ideas before pupils move into the practical group activity. Take a look at what a lesson plan/assessment guide looks like below!
