This program starts with a poem about the wind. Students identify sound words in the poem, and explore the concept of tone colour as they express the words using vocal and body percussion sounds. These sounds are then transferred to instruments and performed as a composition. In the process the students explore the idea of a sound score as they come up with graphic notation (symbols and pictures) to represent their sounds.

The use of layering repetitive patterns, ostinati, to create ensemble sounds is an important composition tool. This program establishes the idea of rhythmic ostinati patterns using simple time. The concept is developed by demonstrating how melodic and non-melodic ostinati can be added to a song to create a composition.

Music Moves: Ostinato

Years 3-4, 5-6 Music

The concept is developed by demonstrating how melodic and non-melodic ostinati can be added to a song to create a composition.

In this program, students start by creating shapes and movement pathways with their bodies to create a movement composition. The composition is notated graphically, with symbols and pictures, and the resulting sound score is interpreted musically. This approach to music composition is rich and rewarding, and the process generates a lot of exciting musical decision making.
