This is where you listen to music from around the world using a world map as a focus. For further details see the World Music Unit on our lesson plan pages. Once or twice a week have pupils play you and the class examples of their favourite music. In return, you play them a piece of your favourite music. This enables you to introduce different forms of music for them to listen to.
Pupils arrange and present lunchtime concerts on a regular basis.
Each class could be encouraged to do this in turn. Part Eight School Radio Station Groups prepare regular programmes that could be broadcast on the school intercom system at lunch times. If this is not possible, have pupils record their programme on tape and give it to other classes to listen to. There are dozens of books available giving instructions and suggestions or Let the pupils' imaginations loose and have them invent their own 'new' instrument out of any material. Have pupils demonstrate their instruments to the class.
