Overall expectations
Music is the study and exploration of sound and the expressive use of musical elements through the singing of songs and the playing of instruments. Students will gain an awareness and appreciation of music in all its forms from a range of times, places and cultures. Students will sing and play a variety of songs and pieces with an awareness of beat. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with sounds in composition tasks and to make expressive use of musical elements such as pitch and rhythm. They will use notation to develop musical ideas. They will develop an awareness and appreciation of music from different cultures and be able to describe and compare sounds using simple appropriate musical vocabulary.
Students will have the opportunity to identify and reflect upon “big ideas” by making connections between the questions asked and the concepts that drive the inquiry. They will become aware of the relevance these concepts have to all of their learning.
