ENCORE VOCAL PROGRAMME

3rd – 6th CLASS

Keep n Singing o

For now, schools out and for many of you, this will be the very last “Keep on Singing” handout of the term! We hope you have enjoyed exploring the singing learning resources and activities we shared with you over the last four months for you to use at home during what has been a difficult and unusual time and that you had as much fun with them as we had making them. As always, we would love to hear from you about what you have enjoyed and what you have been doing musically while you are at home. Share: [email protected] We really hope you will keep singing and moving throughout the holidays and hope we can see you all soon in September to get back to singing together as soon as possible!

In the meantime, if you are looking for an additional activity and inspiration over the holidays, why not give the MASH UP CHALLENGE a try.

In Week 4 – the team introduced you to discovery of the wonders of the four chord progression of I V VI IV and that lots of pop songs use this same chord progression. https://youtu.be/oOlDewpCfZQ
