HSC Music Aural - Comparing two versions lesson

Use this lesson many times to help develop skills for recognising, analysing and writing a response for the Music 1 Aural Skills Examination. The question ‘two versions’ requires planning to maximise the writing time and present a clearly written response. Teachers may choose various listening examples for practise and to focus on:
• the concepts of music: – duration – pitch – dynamics and expressive techniques – tone colour – texture – structure
• the use of technology
• music of various cultures
• unity, contrast and style
