Music/Singing Assemblies

Please see this week's message from our music teacher, Mrs Lawrence:

Hi everyone,

I hope you’ve enjoyed the sunshine this week - it’s been incredibly hot, hasn’t it! For those of you who remember Mr Spider, he’s been sunbathing in my garden and now has a beautiful suntan! 

We have two songs for this week. If you have time to learn one, please choose whichever you prefer. 

Firstly, there is ‘Stand By Me’. You will notice on the lyric video that there are simple chords. Some of you will know that chords are groups of notes which usually make up the accompaniment to a song. They can be played by several different instruments together, like you might hear in a band, or by one instrument, such as a piano or guitar. 

If you already know how to play chords on a musical instrument, perhaps you could play along to the song. If you have access to an iPad with the app GarageBand, perhaps you could have a go at playing along with the chords on a virtual guitar or keyboard. I’ve included an instruction sheet, if you’re not sure how to use GarageBand. It also has the lyric sheet with chords.  

Stand By Me Garageband

If you have a musical instrument, real or virtual, at home, maybe you could make up a chord pattern yourself. Have a listen to the sound of the chords.  What sounds good to you?

Secondly, here is one of my favourite songs, the classic ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’. It is from the musical film ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and was originally sung by Judy Garland. 

If you are singing this, can you hear where Judy breathes in the song? Can you have a go at singing through each line without breathing until the end? If you need to take an extra breath, that’s just fine. See if you can decide where to breathe and stick to those places. Can you imagine each line is like a rainbow and sing through to the end of it?

Have fun with your singing! 

Best wishes,

Mrs Lawrence
