  3. Elements of Music • Silence • Pitch – high or low sounds • Dynamics – loud or quiet sounds • Tempo – fast or slow music • Duration – long and short sounds • Timbre – the sound quality • Texture – different combinations/layers of sound • Structure – the overall plan of the music

  4. Key Stage 1 Music • The children create short compositions with increasing confidence, imagination and control. • Pupils should be taught how to: • Create musical patterns • Explore, choose and organise sounds and musical ideas

  5. KS1 Music Task Group or Class Create musical patterns – use the natural rhythm of describing words to create rhythmic or melodic patterns. Repeat the pattern to create an ostinato Explore other sounds and organise them around the poem. Remember to encourage imagination and control. Record using invented signs and symbols. Bang! We’re off and breathing fast. Moving! Racing! Fast fast fast! Running! Chasing! Towards the end. Puffing! Panting! Around the bend. Look left and right I’m in the clear. Finish line! I’ve won! The crowd they cheer. John Oates

  6. Useful Music Vocabulary Ostinato – a repeated pattern that can be tuned or untuned and forms part of an accompaniment Pentatonic Scale – a collection of 5 musical notes (if you start on the note C they would be – C D E G A) Possible Structures – A B A A B B A B A A B A C A

  7. Key Stage 2 Music • They improvise, and develop their own musical compositions, in response to a variety of different stimuli with increasing personal involvement, independence and creativity. • Pupils should be taught how to: • Improvise, developing rhythmic and melodic material when performing • Explore, choose, combine and organise musical ideas within musical structures
