* GUEST RESOURCE * Meat Free Monday: The Kitchen Samba

Created by Keir Crawley, Head of Performing Arts at Preston Manor All Through Co-operative Trust School, this is an exciting four-lesson unit which aims to develop Year 6 and 7 students’ understanding of rhythm, ostinato and syncopation using Samba – and all within the context of Meat Free Monday. The unit explores the basic patterns found in Samba music and develops them using items found in a typical kitchen: sieves, whisks, baking trays, dustbins, cutlery and blenders!
