ABLEWA Stage CTest
ABLEWA Stage C
Year Stage Description
In Stage C, students explore music. They listen to and explore sound and learn about how music can represent the world and that they can make music to represent their ideas. They share their music with peers and experience music as part of an audience.
Students learn to listen to music and explore rhythm, pitch, dynamics and expression, form and structure, timbre and texture as they experience and make music. They learn to listen to and copy basic music elements, such as, playing loudly, quietly, quickly or slowly when using musical instruments.
While music in the local community should be the initial focus for learning, before exploring music from more distant locations building on student interest and curiosity.
