It is very helpful to have a class set of shakers, egg shakers or maracas, and claves. If possible enough pitched instruments for one between two is ideal for whole class lessons. There are many more books and resources available for Early Years and KS1, some of which are listed below. In this scheme of work we have offered different activities and hope you will find them enjoyable to teach to your class. Don’t feel that these topics are set in stone, use the ideas and change them if needed. Sometimes less is more and doing something simple and well, benefits their musical development. Find something that works and adapt it to suit your own class, and be creative! Children at this age benefit from repetition and internalising songs and rhymes. Revisit known songs at every opportunity and this will help the children’s confidence and ability to understand musical ideas and concepts more thoroughly. Most of all – enjoy it!
