Music for Enhanced Provision Units

Introduction

The YMI team have worked with pupils in our Enhanced Provision units for many years, as part of the Borders Youth Music Initiative funded programme. Since the lockdown the tutors have been producing video recordings of themselves singing and playing some of the pupils favourites songs.

We have added all of them to our GLOW Making Music Team for teachers to download and play at the hubs.  We have also also put them onto our YMI Borders YouTube channel.

Videos 

We have posted here a few of the videos Mr Lowthian and Mr Jacobs have made. To see lots more ask the teachers to share the videos from our Making Music Team on Glow or if you want to watch at home head over to our Playlist on the YMI YouTube Channel. The link is at the bottom of this post.

When the clock strikes twelve we’ll cool off then
Start rockin’ around the clock again
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’till broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

 

 

 

The Yellow Bird Song

Introduction

This popular song comes for the Caribbean and was originally a Haitian Creole song that was rewritten with English lyrics in the 20th century as Yellow Bird.

YMI Tutor Kaela Rowan has made two videos to sing along too and some learning resources looking at the song, where it came from and exploring flags of the Caribbean and surrounding countries.

Below are the song words for you.

Yellow Bird Song

Yellow Bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend
Leave the nest again?
That is very sad
Makes me feel so bad
You can fly away
In the sky away
You’re more lucky than me.

You’re more lucky than me.
