Su 1 | Exploring Classical Music 1: Legato and Staccato

In the summer term, Year 4 students explore the contrasting qualities of legato and staccato in classical music. This unit aligns with the curriculum’s emphasis on enhancing musical interpretation. Pupils learn to perform music using different articulation as well as conveying emotions through their playing. This phase further develops their musicianship skills, setting the stage for more advanced dynamic markings and nuanced musical interpretations in subsequent years.
