Welcome to The Tempest…A wizard, a mischievous sprite, a passing ship… and a storm so tempestuous it changes the lives of those who witness it forever.

Whatever your musical experience this teaching package can help you and your pupils enjoy music in the classroom.

We’ve written eight new songs and vocal coach Carrie Grant is here to teach them to you – one song per programme. Pupils should follow the words or words and music on the separate printouts. The styles range from rap to rock anthem to ballad and back…there’s an African flavour, lots of opportunity for percussion…and some very tongue-in-cheek romance. During Programmes 9 and 10, we invite you to sing all the songs again in a forty-minute ‘production’ of the show.

These programmes are available on pre-recorded CDs (for UK schools only) at cost price. Details can be found at the BBC School Radio website. However, the programmes are also available in the following ways:

PodcastsProgrammes can be downloaded in mp3 file format for 7 days following transmission. You can subscribe to the download by clicking on the podcast link available on the BBC School Radio website. The podcast is an effective way to acquire the series in a flexible, high-quality audio format… and without paying! However, for copyright reasons, we are unable to include the listening music for this series within the podcasts.

For more information go to:www.bbc.co.uk/schoolradio/podcasts.shtml

Audio on demandThe programmes are available as audio on demand, streamed over the internet, for 7 days following transmission. This service is best used to sample the programmes prior to ordering them on CD.

Freeview/digital cable/digital satelliteMost digital TV packages include Radio 4 Digital, making it possible to listen to School Radio through your TV! If you have Freeview, you can find Radio 4 Digital at Channel 74. Programmes are easy to record off-air using a VHS recorder.

There is a free CD available which has full versions of all the songs – plus backing tracks, which you are free to use for school performances. If you would like a copy of the CD please write to us at:

Organising the class

Singing

Warm-ups prior to the broadcast

Pupils’ participation and attainment will benefit greatly if time is taken to warm up prior to each broadcast. Vocal warm-ups are featured in the broadcasts as follows:

• singingaphrasefromthefeaturedsong:programmes 1, 3 and 7

• singing1-8upanddownmajorscale:programmes 1, 3, 4 and 5

• singingfortissimo, accelerando: programmes 5, 8 and 9.

Certain vocal warm-ups, e.g. tongue-twisters will assist where the song takes the form of a rap. Other voice exercises will prepare pupils for songs which require a lot of upper register singing. To encourage a good upper register tone, ask the children to ‘think high’ (imagining the sound to be coming from their eyes) and to ‘look down’ on high notes.

Because time is limited in the broadcasts, additional preparation, as described below, prior to each programme, will greatly assist the children's singing and their stamina.

Posture: encourage good posture by asking children to stand tall, knees loose and feet apart.

The singing face: encourage the children to lift the face muscles by smiling. Humming phrases of songs will also encourage an unforced, well-blended sound.

Facial: smile – screw up the face – stick out tongue – chewing toffee – open mouth as widely as possible.

Breathing: encourage low breathing (that is without breathing into the chest and without raising the shoulders) by asking pupils to imagine an inflatable ring around the waist. Breathe in silently through the mouth, causing the ring to inflate all the way round the middle – taking a drink of air that goes right down low as if their tummy is a tank of air – hold – and then release the air

slowly and silently through the mouth. As you breathe out, count 1-5 slowly, then 1-10, controlling a steady release of air and increasing the time with practice.

Vocal warm-ups

Vowels: sing up and down scale to the numbers 1-8, starting note B on a chime bar. As demonstrated in programme 4, ask pupils to omit a number (e.g. 4), singing it silently in their heads and challenge them to pitch the following note (5) correctly. Change the number to be omitted and increase the omissions as children progress.

Sing fortissimo, accelerando as demonstrated in programmes 5, 7 and 9.

Sing down scale to ‘Do you chew blue glue?’, ‘We three bees need trees’, ‘Chocolate and banana sponge’ or other suitable combinations.

After singing down from C’ – C, start next scale one note higher. Continue higher each time while it remains comfortable

Consonants: ‘Scrape your windscreen with your credit card’.

Tongue-twisters: (say or sing as for vowels) ‘Red lorry, yellow lorry; red leather, yellow leather’.

Rhythmic chants: use a chant or a rap from the current or a previous broadcast.

Before the programmeAsk pupils to look at the print-out of the song ‘Rock the Ship’.

Divide pupils into two groups to clap, stamp or play the instrumental at the end.

1in today’s programme we will…

listen to the story

A wizard, a mischievous sprite, a passing ship… and a storm so tempestuous it changes the lives of those who witness it for ever.

Warm up

We focus on posture and relaxing our face muscles. We warm up our voices by singing the last line of the song four times.

Hear more storm music

Excerpt from Storm from Four Sea Interludes by Benjamin Britten.

After the programme1. Practise the instrumental. It consists of one bar repeated 5

times. There is a one bar count between each of the first 4 playings and on the 5th time (which is played immediately after the 4th without a bar count between), both groups play the same rhythm. Some pupils could use drums and tambours or tuned percussion while others clap and stamp. These may also be played along with the backing vocals during verse 2. Appropriate tuned percussion, such as chime bars, xylophones, glockenspiels play the notes C, Eb or G (as shown below).

2. ListentoMendelssohn’sHebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave). How does it build a picture of a storm? Compare and contrast with Britten’s piece.

3. Using tuned and untuned percussion provide opportunity for the class to create their own storm. In groups, prepare: the calm before the storm; the storm brewing; the storm at its height and the calm after the storm. Each group could draw a graphic score depicting their section. Record the performance and discuss refinements.

Drama

Rehearse the poem Sounds of the Sea that you have written (see below) as a class or in small groups. You can only use your voice and the words to create the dramatic effect so you will need to think about techniques like spacing, tone, articulation, rhythm, sound levels. Discuss any refinements before you perform the poem.

Compare this poem, using voices and words to create dramatic effect, with the percussion piece in which you created a storm using musical sounds.

in today’s programme we will…

listen to the story

Prospero has some explaining to do! Miranda wants to know why he’s almost killed the passengers of a passing ship. And Ariel is feeling moody – yearning for the day long promised when Prospero will set him free.

Warm up

With a focus on posture, relaxing face muscles, breathing, voice exercise.

learn the song

• Learnverse1.• Learnchorusin2parts.• Learnverse2(andchorus).• Learnthetwoshortraps.• Singthesongthrough(optiontoaddinstruments).

Hear more calypso

Singing Sandra’s Music from the ghetto helps us identify some characteristics of calypso music – the singing style, rhythm and instrumentation.

After the programme1. Involve the pupils in making their own instruments and/or

finding scrap material which can be used to hit or shake. Metal dustbin lids make a great sound along with bongos, claves, maracas or coconut shells.

2. The parts below can be played along with the chorus on tuned percussion, home-made instruments – or any other instruments the pupils play (recorder, flute, violin etc). Encourage budding guitarists to join in too.

Drama

In pairs choose to be Ariel or Prospero and arrange yourselves as if for a photograph and freeze the image. Your pose should try to convey the relationship and the conflict and tension between you. Remember that the faces and body language might be showing one thing whereas the thoughts could be very different. Present your freeze frame to the class. After a few moments speak aloud in character the thoughts that are running through your head.

Compare your image and thoughts with that of others and discuss the similarities and differences.

Music area

Encourage the children to compose their own calypso – words and music, perhaps based on the theme of being free.

2P r o g r a m m e

Set Me Free

Style: Calypso.

Before the programmePrint out the words to the song from these notes or from the School Radio website.

Divide pupils into two groups to sing the 2-part harmonies in the chorus.

Do some additional warm-ups – see page 3.

Tell the pupils the chorus in this song is high! Encourage them to ‘sing from the eyes’ or imagine the sound is from their foreheads. Suggest that rather than ‘stretch-ing up to the high notes’ that they try to ‘look down on top of them’.

Whichever way you look at it nothing’s what it seems. I’m just a prisoner on the island of dreams.

Ariel is not the only character who is trapped on the island. Make a list of all the characters, including Ariel, and for each one say how and why they are trapped.

What does Ariel mean when he says that nothing’s what it seems?

Both of the above activities would be enhanced by reading The Tempest Act I, scene ii, lines 188-300.

Before the programmePrint out the words to the song from these notes or from the School Radio website.

Do some additional warm-ups – see page 3. Focus on posture, breathing and relaxing the face muscles.

listening musicAlways be my baby by Mariah Carey.

Blue Planet – Sharks sequence.

3in today’s programme we will…

listen to the story

An invisible Ariel (at Prospero’s command) convinces a soaking wet Ferdinand that his father really is dead. Ariel does this by singing softly to Ferdinand – asking him to imagine a dead body floating ‘fully five fathoms’ under the sea. (Bit cruel really – since said father is alive and well on the other side of the island).

Warm up

We use the opening phrase 'full fathom five'.

learn the song

• Learnfirstfourlines.• Learnsecondfourlines.• Learntheendofthesong.• Tryvocalad-libbing.• Singthesongthrough.

listen to

Mariah Carey ad-libbing in Always be my baby, and music inspired by the sea from the BBC series Blue Planet.

After the programme1. Practise the song – especially the ad-libbing at the end.

Ad-libbing is a solo art. The whole class trying to ad-lib at the same time will sound chaotic – but the children may feel less inhibited! Once they have confidence, some children will be willing to sing on their own.

2. You may wish to play examples of other singers who ad-lib, e.g. Craig David or Alicia Keys.

Developmental work

1. Listentofurtherexamplesofmusicassociatedwiththeseaorwater, e.g. Mendelssohn – Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave), Aquarium from Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals.

2. Create a seascape using tuned and untuned percussion. An ocean drum would create an ideal backdrop but drums, cymbals and shakers of all descriptions may be used. First, as a whole class, brainstorm words associated with the sea. Words like pebbles, sand, waves, breakers, foam, sparkling, reflections, sun, shells, fish, coral, jellyfish, starfish, whales, dolphins. In groups, ask the children to choose three words, then come and select instruments which could be used to depict them. Pupils could notate their composition(s) in the form of a graphic score. Possibly link in an appropriate poem and create and display art work.

Drama

Building on the drama work done in Programme 2, in pairs improvise the scene between Ariel and Prospero where Ariel is trying to persuade Prospero to release him. Improvising means taking a situation and working out what happens and what characters say by acting it out without any previous planning and not following a script. It can be hard to do because you need to think on your feet and react to what is happening.

After the programme1. Try the warm-up heard during today’s programme – singing 1-8

ascending and descending. Omit one or more numbers to be sung silently and challenge the children to pitch the following notes successfully. This is excellent both as aural training and as a voice exercise.

2. Try the rap verses to a rhythm set up on an electric keyboard or to pupils playing on drums or bongos.

Developmental work

1. Listentootherraps(e.g.BlackEyedPeasWhere is the love?). Note the flowing, almost swing rhythm that characterises rap – sometimes SO fast, sometimes more slowly. Notice how effective it is when the rapper stops for a beat. How does the pace help deliver the meaning? Discuss the attitude of the performer – and try to copy that as you compose and perform your own raps. Great rap performance is all about attitude!

2. Obtain a recording of Rodrigo’s Concerto de Aranjuez and listen to more of the 2nd movement.

3. ListentoflamencomusicandothermusicofSpain.

Drama

Choose a few people in the class to take it in turns to be in role as Antonio. In small groups think of questions you would like to ask them in character about Antonio’s behaviour in the past towards Prospero and now. Your questions should try to explore his motivation, the morality of his behaviour and whether he is troubled by his conscience.

1. Discuss the effect of varying the dynamics in a performance, i.e. forte (loud), piano (quiet), crescendo (getting louder), decrescendo or diminuendo (getting quieter), pianissimo (very quiet).

2. Try to add appropriate changes of dynamic in the verses of Spellbound. This could be a group activity in the music area, followed by class discussion leading to a performance incorporating the ideas.

Drama

Invite people to audition for the role of Prospero. They can either choose a speech from the playscript or the key speech from Shakespeare (see below.) What qualities are you looking for in the acting of this main character?

This speech is really important as it is the turning point of the play. Compare the oral performance of the speech with the song. Which do you think is more effective and why?

literacy linksY5 T3: text level 6, Y6 T1: text level 3 and 5

In small groups or as a class read Prospero’s speech from The Tempest Act IV, scene i, lines 148-160.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,As 1 foretold you, were all spirits and

Are melted into air, into thin air:And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,

The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,The solemn temples, the great globe itself,Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,

And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuffAs dreams are made on, and our little lifeIs rounded with a sleep. Sir I am vexed.

Bear with my weakness: my old brain is troubled.Be not disturbed with my infirmity.

It inherit means occupy it

Rack means wisp of cloud.

Together try to sort out what this means. Don’t worry too much about individual words but aim for the gist of it. What is Prospero saying about life? What is the message that Shakespeare is trying to send to his audience? The lyrics of the song will help you.

Featuring ‘call and response’ style singing in Oh, happy Day by the African Children’s Choir.

After the programme1. Try to clap along with the music in the choruses - ideally on the

off-beat (i.e. clap after the word ‘sea, ‘change’, ‘comin’, etc.) but whatever comes naturally. Invite the children to improvise their own clapping patterns.

2. ListentoandaddbackingvocalstoSea Change.

Developmental work in the music area

There are six chords used in Sea Change:

1. Using chime bars, xylophones, glockenspiels and metallophones, or any other instruments played by the children, invite pupils to play each time their chord is indicated. Some notes appear in more than one chord – either allocate one chord to each player as notes are distributed or allow pupils to play on more than one chord.

2. A bass part can be played using only the root of the chord (i.e. F on chord F and so on) – perhaps on bass xylophone, low notes on a keyboard or piano or on bass guitar. The chords are used throughout the song (verse, middle and chorus) and it is for you to decide which parts of the song should have instrumental accompaniment.

P r o g r a m m e

Before the programmeWarm up well.

Remind yourselves of groups required for each song (see above).

Prepare any percussion being added and identify players.

listening musicPlay the extracts provided after programme 9 and ask the children to identify which of the six recordings is music associated with the sea, calypso, Spain, Africa, gospel and storm. They are playing in this order – storm, calypso, sea, gospel, Africa, Spain.

9 &10

in these programmes we will…

Warm up by singing fortissimo accelerando seven times; recap some tricky bits, then sing all the songs, and hear the story again.

Programme 9

• Rock the Ship (we revise instrumental rhythm)• Set Me Free (we revise chorus harmonies)• Toledo (we revise chorus harmony)

Programme 10

• Brave New World (we revise backing vocals)• Spellbound (we recap three parts in coda)• Sea Change (we recap slow line at end of song)

Handy reminder of the groups needed to sing each song

Programme 9

1. Rock the Ship needs two groups for lead and backing vocals and for the instrumental – clapping, stamping and / or instruments.

2. Set Me Free needs two groups for the chorus harmonies. There are raps and instruments to be added too.

3. Full Fathom Five – consider the vocal ad-libbing at end – everyone to ad-lib or choose an individual?

4. Toledo Steel needs two groups to sing in harmony in chorus (upper and lower) and two groups for rapping (one group for underlined words only).

Programme 10

5. Barracuda – lead vocals and backing vocals (words in brackets), add instruments.

6. Brave New World – lead vocals and backing vocals.

7. Spellbound – three groups (group one – half the class – sing ‘we are the stuff…’, group two sing ‘ya wa’, and group three sing ‘aa-mmm’).

8. Sea Change – consider one pupil to do the slowed down bit?

How to achieve a quality performance

Posture: stand well-balanced, equal weight on both legs, knees loose, feet apart, head up. Warm up well.

Facial: use smiling muscles to achieve a brighter sound.

Breathing: breathe through the mouth, encourage low breathing (without breathing into the chest or raising the shoulders). Discuss the appropriate breathing places in the songs and practise these.

Diction and tone: when singing in a higher register, sing ‘from the eyes’, open mouths, aim at rounded vowel sounds and sound consonants together.

Expression: discuss the meaning of the song lyrics and the mood to be achieved. Practise how to best communicate the rneaning: through adding dynamics; tempo changes; or facial expression.

Lyrics: communication will be greatly enhanced if the songs are well rehearsed. The start and end of songs are most important so do get familiar with the length of introductions.

Stagecraft: discuss how to walk on and off the stage and how pupils should react to applause.

9 &10

Performance: The Tempest

literacy linksY5 T1: text level 19 and 20

As a class read through the playscript in preparation for performance. Annotate the script to help the production and direction. Think about pace, movement, gesture and delivery of the lines and the songs.

Allocate different groups of people to different tasks:• Director,producerandcast• Musicaldirectorandsingersandmusicians• Technicalcrew• Publicityandprogrammes.

Rehearse and get ready for the performance. Invite school mates, family and friends and entertain them with your version of The Tempest.
