Emerging as a SongMaker: crafting stories into songs
Unit Description
In Emerging as a SongMaker, students make and respond to music as they embed and extend the musical skills that are integral to the successful application of composition techniques personalised and nuanced 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) to develop a greater understanding of industry and collaborate peer to peer with other students in the class.
Students improvise, arrange, plan and organise 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 analyse and evaluate song writing forms and styles that inform their own development song writing voice and explore advanced song writing methods and processes. 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.
