Teach "A Wish for Peace"

Copy Link
Song Used: A Wish for Peace

This is an easy two-part choral arrangement with a very positive message. Listen to the song. When teaching a part song, teaching the more difficult part is usually advisable. In this song, teach part two first. Then teach part one. Be sure that the students learn each part well before putting both parts together. Spend several classes on parts in unison. When students are secure on each part, divide the class into two groups and perform the partner song. If you wish, add sign language to the song. It adds choreography that is really beautiful and helps the students to remember their own part.

The vocal score is included in the supplemental resources if you would like your students to have music in their hands while they learn this piece.

Extension: Address the slur and dynamics.

Divide the class into two or three groups, giving each group unpitched rhythm instruments. Play the round on instruments.
