Students are asked to create a composition from sounds that they find and record around their school. Students develop sensitivity to and understanding of music through observation, composition, and performance. They pay careful attention to various organic sound resources and communicate through music the feelings they experience in particular spaces. Students practice using their perception, find the relevance to musicality of what they discover in their environment, and apply this to their creation. Students also explore and reflect on their composition in multiple ways to create and develop musical ideas.

• Recognize and use musical elements and expressive characteristics

• Expand the range of musicality

• Analyse composition and musical factors

This unit has a creativity focus:

• Make connections between the environment, emotions, and musical concepts

• Play with unusual ideas and sounds in composing and analysing musical pieces

• Compose, perform, and reflect on music with expressive qualities
