The unit begins on developing childrens body percussion knowledge and then progresses into children composing 2 or 3 note melodies. The children will be challenged to begin to make connections between notations and musical sounds.

Skills met:

YEAR ONE:
• Improvise simple vocal chants, using question and answer phrases.
• Create musical sound effects and short sequences in response to stimuli.
• Understand the difference between creating a rhythm pattern and a pitch pattern.
• Invent, retain and recall rhythm and pitch patterns and perform these for others.
• Recognise how graphic notation can represent created sound.
• Explore and invent own symbols
• Listen to sounds in the local school environment, comparing high and low sounds.
• Sing familiar songs in both low and high voices and talk about the difference in sound.

• Follow pictures and symbols to guide singing and playing.

YEAR TWO:
• Create music in response to a non-musical stimulus (e.g., a storm, a car race, or a rocket launch).
• Work with a partner to improvise simple question and answer phrases, to be sung and played on untuned percussion, creating a musical conversation.
• Use graphic symbols, dot notation and stick notation, as appropriate, to keep a record of composed pieces.
