MUSIC

During Music lessons, students have access to a range of musical instruments. They learn about the elements of music including pitch, rhythm, beat, tempo, form, structure, timbre and basic notation through singing, playing instruments, composing, making and responding to music.

Learning experiences include making music together, engage in beat readiness activities, and exploring the sounds students can make with their voices and body percussion, as well as a range of musical instruments. They compose, rehearse and perform using their voices, everyday objects, untuned percussion instruments, and more traditional instruments. Learners explore how the elements of music can be used to convey a sense of place, describe characters and create suspense.

VISUAL ARTS is taught by the class teacher as part of the The Arts curriculum.
