What
is a Music Package?
Music
enables you to work in the Creative Development area of the Early
Years Desirable Outcomes. There are a number of music packages
that can be used with young children. They introduce the topic
through the use of graphics rather than notation. Pupils make
choices that affect the sound eventually produced. Music packages
allow the pupils to experiment with sound pictorially and to listen
to, and evaluate the sound they have produced.
Examples
of using music packages:
- to
investigate sound
- to
teach patterning and sequencing
- to
link with a story, theme
- to
develop awareness of pitch
- to
promote creativity
