Music Appreciation Assembly

Each week, Mr Hopkin presents an assembly celebrating music and musicians. 

For each song we listen to a key lyric and think about, the meaning behind these and what we can learn from them. Across the week, class teachers share the songs with the children again in order to celeberate them and their message. 

Over the year we will explore a variety of artists and genres; celebrating artists the children may already know and a few they probably will not. This will help to expand the children's knowledge and maybe help them to find new favourites. 

Videos and information will be uploaded here on a weekly basis. 

Key Lyric

'I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire 'cause I am a champion

And you're gonna hear me roar'

Meaning and Message: Everyone has a voice. We should believe in ourselves and express how we feel.  

Katy Perry - Roar

Key Lyric

'Just move on up to a greater day

With just a little faith

If you put your mind to it, you can surely do it.'

Message and meaning: Be resilent. Have faith in yourself and don't worry if you don't get things right the first time. Keep going! 

 

Curtis Mayfield - Move on Up
