SONG OF THE WEEK

PROTEST  SONG: SINGING FOR CHANGE


There are  events that are taking place in the USA, the UK and all across the world concerning the human rights of people of colour, protests and police violence.

Singing offers us a powerful yet peaceful way to bring our voices together in a common cause. Better still, by singing a protest song we communicate our message in a way that gets under the skin, offering an open invitation for anyone to join in at any time and any place. 

This week we are going to learn songs about racial injustice.

Click on the link below to access all the songs.


Songs about racial injustice-Sing up

Get on board, lil' children
I wish I knew (how it would feel to be free)
Lean on me 
Raise my voice 
Something inside so strong

What are protest songs?

Protest songs have been sung around the world for centuries, calling for social change and shining a light on injustice.

​Across history, protest songs have come in many shapes and sizes, from the spirituals calling for the abolition of slavery sung during America’s civil war, the solemnly adapted hymns sung by the Suffragettes of the early twentieth century, to the extraordinary anthems of America’s 1960s civil rights and anti-war movement.

COMPOSER OF THE WEEK

Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)
The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra Op.34

Exploring 20th Century Music

Creative Project of the Week Y5/6

Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do something creative!

This week I like you to  create a melody using the piano roll.
The melody can be as long as you wish but it needs to be constructed using the pentatonic scale.

Make sure you save it.

Before you can do that, you will need to click on the link below and watch  Team's Tutti lesson 4.


Team Tutti Lesson 4:  how to save your work- the piano roll- the keyboard - the pentatonic scale.

STORY TELLING, MUSIC AND PAINTING

Listen to   Nikolay Rimsky Korsakov (1844—1908)
2nd movement from Scheherezade.


The piece starts with a solo violin and a harp.

How does the music makes you feel?

What do you imaging? 

 Think about the colours that you like to use. 

Chose colours that you think will match your feelings while listening to the music.


I hope you enjoyed this week's music blog
