Observing, listening, reflecting, describing
and responding
|
• Demonstrate awareness of sound
and responsiveness to music in a variety of styles produced
by self and others;
|
Pupils should develop knowledge of and skills
in a wide range of musical concepts. The ability to recognise
and discuss concepts through performing activities should
be developed, with a view to selecting and applying them
as compositional techniques in the inventing process.
Pupils should continue to listen to a variety of vocal and
instrumental pieces and extracts featuring different musical
styles, including their own compositions as well as those
of others. They should explore the instruments and musical
language of other countries. They should show a developing
insight and knowledge in their comments and evaluations,
in aural and written responses.
There should be regular opportunities to express preferences
in terms of style and genre. This may influence the choice
of music for performing activities and of the medium for
inventing activities.
Pupils should be able to make informed comments and exchange
views with others, offering constructive advice, for example
about quality of performance or the development of ideas
in inventing.
They should be given responsibility for maintaining their
own listening record, as a means of consolidating their
knowledge of concepts. It may also contain personal reactions
to selected pieces of music and describe their attendance
at concerts or participation in musical events outwith the
classroom.
