Andy is also the creative director of Young Voices (the largest school choir concert in the world), which aims to encourage young people to discover a love for music!
Andy explained that he has worked with many pop stars and he wanted to work with the year 5 students the same as celebrities!
He only has 2 rules when working with pop stars (and Year 5):
Everyone must listen to each other - no talking when someone is talking
No talking when the music is on - as you need to be able to hear the beat.
In order to become successful, Andy shared 4 vital skills:
Focus
Action
Confidence
Energy
Before starting to dance, Andy asked the year group - How do we communicate?
The students were shocked to realise that the main way we communicate as a human is through our body language!
55% of how you communicate is through body language
38% is tonality - the tone of your voice - volume, pitch, emotion
7% words
After teaching the pupils some simple 'moves' in time to a specific 'beat'.
Andy then asked the pupils - What is a groove?
Groove is a fluid movement from your head to your toe
Adam and Deborah in Elm were asked to share their 'Groove' with the year group.
All of the pupils joined in the workshop and supported each other. The Year 5 staff were proud of how the pupils conducted themselves in the workshop.
Keep up the great work Year 5:)
