This unit is designed to help pupils learn more about exploring sounds and sound sources to create an intended mood, atmosphere and effect and to develop their understanding of Programme Music. The theme of “The Haunted House” is used as a stimulus to encourage pupils to consider, select and combine appropriate vocal, body and instrumental sounds and sound sources to describe different “spooky” situations through music. Pupils investigate how composers use the elements of music to create an intended effect, respond to music using dance and movement and create sound pictures and graphic scores. Pupils create their own structured “spooky music” piece selecting and combining appropriate sounds and sound sources to match certain symbols. Element Focus - Timbre & Dynamics, Structure & Form |
