Underground Music
As a class we will learn this chant as a round. Identify and clap the four different rhythm patterns shown at the top (all in 2/4 metre). Next, ask pupils to try and clap, or speak out loud, the names of the given underground stations below and “fit” each one under the rhythm that best matches it. Discuss answers as a class and try clapping the names of the different stations under each of the rhythms to show how the names of different stations have similar rhythms. Compose your own piece of Underground music. In groups identify some interesting London Underground stations with some interesting rhythms. Follow the instructions in your groups
You will perform your composition in front of the whole class. Homework; Turn your "Score" into a bright and colourful poster that would want people to try out your composition. Use paper and colour, NO computers.

Circle Game –“Hotter/Colder” Assemble pupils in a circle each with a handheld untuned percussion instrument. One pupil leaves the classroom while the rest of the class decide where to hide a small object. Establish a simple 4-beat ostinato and play this as the pupil comes in. They move around the classroom trying to find the object in a “hide and seek – getting hotter/getting colder” formation. As the pupil gets closer to the hidden object the class uses dynamics (getting louder) to let the pupil know that they are near and (getting softer) when they are away. Talk about graphic scores and what they mean. Have a listen to this Graphic Score
