As part of the new music curriculum, we have adopted a scheme of work (Charanga) which sees each unit based around a song of a particular genre. Year 6 were off to a flying start this year when they studied Hip Hop music based around ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’. During this unit of work they focused on vocal improvisation, reading musical notation and playing both the recorder and xylophone. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning this classic song and they are looking forward to music next term where they will compose and perform their own Hip Hop tunes. Fresh!
