Music teacher skills KS1 tempo
This Music video explores how to teach the concept of tempo in key stage one through movement, rhythm, and familiar rhymes. Focusing on the theme of the snail and mouse, it helps pupils differentiate between fast and slow speeds by encouraging physical responses, voice work, and simple instrument play. The video also models how to scaffold tempo understanding through beat-keeping, miming, and retrieval activities.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Teacher Skills videos for Music, Key Stage 1. It equips teachers with practical strategies to support children as they explore tempo, preparing them for more advanced musical concepts in future key stages.
