Music Made Easy 1st Class

The purpose of these schemes is to capture the attention of the students and to engage them in activities each week which will help to develop and foster a love of music. There is a story running through each lesson which connects all the lessons together and gives the children a sense of purpose in the activities they will undertake in each lesson.

In 1st class, the story changes its focus. At the end of the senior infant scheme, the Wicked Wizard followed Diarmuid and Gránne all the way back to Ireland. The main focus for this scheme is for the students to take part in the activities of each lesson so that the King of Music Land can gain enough power to cast a spell on the Wizard which will keep him in Ireland. He will travel all over Ireland visiting various different counties. It is explained to the children that this is what we want to do because the longer the Wizard is away from his castle, the less evil he becomes and he would eventually become a kind and generous person.
