Key Knowledge

To know that:

• Musical motifs (repeating patterns) are used as a building block in many well-known pieces of music, for example, Beethoven's fifth symphony (dah dah dah dum!). 

• 'Transposing' a melody means changing its key, making it higher or lower pitched. 

• A motif can be adapted by changing the notes, the rhythm or the order of notes.
