- We are REHEARSING as ensembles to bring these musical pieces to life
At this stage, each of you should have a clear plan of what to perform, who to perform with and what your goals are for each session prior to your first performance.
These should be recorded on Google Classroom. As you each now have individually set goals and success criteria, you should be following these for each session. At the beginning of each music session you should have these open on your device, and you should be able to articulate to me what you are trying to achieve by the end of the session.
Activities and success criteria
You have individually set these for yourselves on Google Classroom.

Last week of term!
Over the past few sessions before breaking off to our practice and rehearsal spaces, we have looked at videos of 'experts in action'. Excellent musicians and professionals are great to watch because we can look at modelling our own performances and stage presence based on what we observe them doing.
For our last week of term, we are going to watch a film that features one of the greatest musical performers of all time...
