Pre-primary year Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study at least two of the five Arts subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8. It is a requirement that students study a performance subject and a visual subject.
Year Level Description
In Pre-primary, learning in Music builds on the dispositions developed in the early years.
Students listen and respond to music through movement and play, using symbols and pictures to record and share their music ideas. They are introduced to the elements of rhythm, tempo, pitch, dynamics, form and timbre.
Students experience music as performers and audience members, engaging in improvisation to create and communicate music ideas.
As they make and respond to music, students have the opportunity to explore different places and special occasions where music is experienced.
Making
Ideas
Improvisation with voice, movement and play to explore and create music ideas (ACAMUM080)
Use of symbols, pictures and movement and relevant technology to explore and share music ideas (ACAMUM082)
Skills
Development of aural skills by exploring the elements of music, including:
- rhythm (sound, silence; long, short; steady beat)
- tempo (fast, slow)
- pitch (high, low; pitch direction; distinguish between speaking and singing voice)
- dynamics (loud, soft)
- form (same, different; echo patterns)
- timbre (exploration of sounds produced on percussion instruments)
Achievement standard
At Standard, students improvise and share simple music ideas through singing, playing, moving and drawing, with some inconsistencies. They recognise beat, copy some modelled rhythms and identify some changes in tempo. Students recognise high, low and direction of pitch and, with some accuracy, sing simple pitch patterns across a narrow range of notes. They recognise loud and soft and repeated musical patterns. Students identify familiar classroom instruments.
Students listen and respond to familiar music with mostly appropriate movements, drawings or descriptions. They associate music with familiar places and occasions.
