Our Objective:
- To nurture confidence and
creativity in our pupils through a holistic learning experience in the arts
Guiding Philosophy:
- To inculcate a love for the arts
from young through exposure and experience of different art forms
Core Pedagogy (Music)
- Concept approach, whereby units of
learning are designed based on music elements/concepts (e.g. rhythm, texture) via the core pedagogy of KEA techniques:
- K: Kinesthetic (Movement)
- E: Ensemble (Playing and creating music
together)
- A: Aural (Listening)
Sing and Play Melodic and Rhythmic Instruments individually and in groups Sing a variety of songs with a sense of the shape of the melody, keeping to a steady pulse sing in unison sing up to 4 part canons use solfege names and handsigns (for lower primary) sing in two parts Play a variety of tuned and untuned percussion instruments with proper playing and holding techniques play individually play in unison play in sections (up to four parts) accompany singing where appropriate Play a tuned instrument (recorder) which requires different techniques from tuned percussion play individually play in unison Read staff and cipher notation
Skills Focus from P1-P6 (Music)
Create and improvise music Explore the ways sounds are organised through manipulating, experimenting and putting it together:
- create sound effects with untuned instruments, body percussion and voice
(e.g. experimenting with different objects and different surfaces, ways of beating, intensity of strength)
- create sounds and select sound sources in response to a story, descriptive
words and visuals
- use graphic notation to represent sound
Explore the ways sounds/music elements can be combined to create different effects and moods:
- use a variety of instruments (including voice and electronic gadgets like the
ipad) for different effects
- create different sounds to enhance effects in stories and visuals
- improvise 2-beat rhythmic and melodic phrases and patterns
- create different textures and structures
- use staff notation to represent sound
Describe and evaluate music through listening Respond to amd describe different moods suggested in the music heard through body movements (e.g. marching, skipping) and visual representations
- describe the mood of the music heard
- identify selected percussion, string, woodwind and brass instruments of
large western ensembles visually and aurally
- evaluate music performance (e.g. student’s own performance)
Develop understanding of music elements/concepts Identify basic music elements/concepts (e.g. staccato, legato, pitch, tempo, time signatures, dynamics, note values) Distinguish contrasts in music (e.g. quick/slow, high/low, thick/thin, long/short, loud/soft) Identify similar and different rhythmic and melodic patterns Identify simple structures (e.g. binary, ternary) Identify the relationship in rhythmic and melodic patterns (e.g. repetition, sequence
Discern and understand from various vultures and of various genres Distinguish music of Asian and Western cultures Appreciate music in different art forms Understand the role of music in daily living Recognise and talk about how music is featured in daily living:
- advertisements
- cartoon
- computer games
- community and home events
- festive and cultural events
Describe the role of music in dance and theatrical art forms like musicals, wayang kulit etc
Level Music Programme
P1/P2 Music Across Cultures P3 Choral singing P4 Choral singing, ipad Garage Band, recorder elementary P5 Ukulele, recorder intermediate P6 Recorder advanced, social dance
Music Holistic Assessment
- Formative Assessment (teacher questioning or
student demonstration
- Summative assessment (At least once termly)
- Combination of bite-sized performance tasks,
projects and paper tests, self-evaluation etc…
- Graded once every semester (A, B, C)
S/N Description Agree Disagree Remarks 1) I understand what an anacrusis is. 2) I know the difference between an anacrusis and a non-anacrusis rhythm. 3) I am able to clap an anacrusis rhythm. 4) I understand the note value of a dotted crotchet and quaver. 5) I understand the note value of a dotted quaver and semiquaver. 6) I know how to make use of dynamics in a song. 7) I know what a repeat sign is. 8) I know what the meaning of tempo is. 9) I know how to make use of percussion instruments to create an ostinato rhythm. 10) I enjoy working with my group mates. 11) I have learnt how to work together in a team to make music.
