JSM - Edition Three

Y ear 4 - M usic

Year 4 have been inquiring into what is needed to create an original piece of music, or a “composition”.

After interviewing a composer and inquiring into what makes a musical composition, students used their knowledge of music to create a ternary composition, in 3 parts where the first and last section are the same. Students were challenged to not only apply the musical elements, but to show their understanding through performing their compositions. We reflected upon its success and will continue to use these skills in Term 2 as we move on to composing with pitch for tuned percussion.
