Students will learn about the elements of duration and pitch through engaging with beat and rhythm notation, melody and basic score reading. Participation in class singing and performing activities on body, tuned and untuned percussion, and experimenting with different ways of combining and documenting musical ideas using notation, forms the foundation of learning activities. The unit is supported by two accompanying PowerPoint presentation resources, a score booklet, teacher resource booklet, teaching videos and a sample assessment task.
