Resource includes lesson slides as well as a scheme of work grid with more details.
This is a really fun, entirely practical scheme of work that introduces students to Brazilian Samba, with some music theory thrown in (rhythm notation reading). It develops performance skills, listening skills, ensemble skills, notation reading and awareness of musical structure. Each lesson has a starter (“Do Now”) task, a main activity and a plenary.
I normally do it with year 7, and they love it - especially the silly phrases for remembering rhythms! I’ve also done this with primary students - it’s appropriate (and equally useful) for any students over about 7 years old. It’s one of my favourite units to teach.
You will need enough percussion instruments for each student to have one. You can either use samba instruments, or if you don’t have these, any percussion instruments will do.
