Term 3 - Classical Music

In the Classical period, composers employed distinct musical structures, thematic development, and orchestration techniques to create works that are both sophisticated and expressive. By analysing and interpreting scores from this era, we gain insights into how elements such as pitch, duration, texture, tone colour, and dynamics contribute to the overall impact and narrative of the music. Understanding these aspects helps us appreciate the innovation and artistry of Classical composers and how their techniques have influenced the evolution of Western music.

Students will learn about the topic through performing, listening and composing.
