YEAR 7&8
Unit title
Becoming a songmaker: exploring stories and songs
Unit Description
In Becoming a SongMaker, students make and respond to music as they become aware of the musical skills that are integral to the successful application of composition techniques through various song writing styles and processes. They engage with a variety of music using digital and virtual platforms (music streaming and social media platforms, music and film recording software) and collaborate peer to peer with other students in the class.
Students experiment, identify and analyse compositional devices through song writing, techniques across a variety of song writing styles and processes to develop better awareness, communication, creative application and sharing of music ideas, emotions and experiences. Students learn how to be independent users of digital technologies (digital audio workstations) and investigate who they are as a musician/artist within their cultural context and of their emerging musical identity.
