P4 National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCOS)
Success criteria:
I can sing with others keeping in time and in pitch.
I can listen to more complex rhythms and copy them conveying my thoughts e.g. clapping, tapping on my body.
Primary 4 have been very lucky to have lessons with Miss Geoghegan from The National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCOS). Miss Geoghan has been using songs and games to teach the children about time, pitch and rhythm. This is helping the children to develop their skills and confidence in performing in an active and fun environment. The children have been very keen to take part in the songs and games and are looking forward to their next lesson.
