HUMAN VOICES. SINGING EVERYWHERE!

This Unit is devoted to the world of singing.

It has been designed for Primary 6th. Subject: Music

Some of the learning outcomes are…

. To distinguish the different human voices.

. To know the tessitura that each person can sing, musical interval affordable for the singers.

. To recognise the different voices by audition, only listening to them.

. To enjoy listening to musical extracts from different music eras.

The main tasks are…

. Montserrat Caballé's life research

. Her life brief summary for the Kahoot

. Identify male and female voices and their names in the L2

. Listen and apreciate several opera´s excerps

Because of that, our pupils will spend two sessions of 55 minutes each enjoying activities like…
