Key Stage 2 Unit 2 - Weather & Seasons |
|
This unit develops pupil’s ability to recognise how sound sources can be used expressively and be combined to create music in response to the weather and the seasons. Pupils explore how sounds can be changed, combined and organized to create class and group compositions. They respond to stimuli by the weather and explore ways in which sound can be used expressively. Pupils are introduced to the music of the Baroque period and to the genre of the solo concerto focusing on “The Four Seasons” by Vivaldi and exploring programme music further. Element Focus - Pitch, Texture, Timbre & Dynamics, Melody & Harmony |
