ABLEWA Stage D
Year Stage Description
In Stage D, 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 about the world. They share their music with peers and experience music as audiences.
Students learn to listen to music and become aware of rhythm, pitch, dynamics and expression, form and structure, timbre and texture as they explore and make music. They learn to copy beat, rhythms and basic music patterns and respond to changes in rhythm and tempo when accompanying music.
While music in the local community should be the initial focus for learning, students are also aware of and interested in music from more distant locations and the curriculum provides opportunities to build on this curiosity.
