Exploring Musical Arrangements |
|
During this unit, pupils will develop their knowledge and understanding of folk music as a musical genre. This unit also develops pupils’ ability to analyse, create and perform their own musical arrangements of traditional folk songs. They listen to examples of folk music from different times and different places and compare the use of instruments, musical elements and compositional devices used. Pupils will perform as part of small ensembles and arrange their own folk songs using features they have learned from the unit. Element Focus - Pitch, Melody & Harmony |
