Experiment with texture and timbre in sound sources using aural skills

Elaborations

• experimenting with and transcribing pitch contour, beat patterns and rhythm sequences (Skills: Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• singing and recognising intervals and melodic patterns to extend music ideas in improvisation and composition (Skills: Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• Considering viewpoints - forms and elements: For example - How have the elements of music and instruments been used in this piece? (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking)
• identifying qualities of chords in isolation and experimenting with combinations to create chord progressions (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking)
• manipulating sound quality by exploring how sounds are produced by different instruments and voice types, for example, manipulating dynamics and timbre in voice or acoustic or digital instruments (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking)
• experimenting with texture by layering sound in different ways in composition, for example, by using looping software (Skills: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• using aural skills to evaluate and improve interpretation of music they read and perform (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
