In Levels 5 and 6, Music involves students continuing to listen to, improvise, compose, arrange and perform music, independently and collaboratively with their peers, teachers and communities.
Students explore more complex aspects of rhythm, pitch, dynamics and expression, form and structure, timbre and texture in music they perform and compose. They sing and play independent parts against contrasting parts, and recognise instrumental, vocal and digitally generated sounds. They present and perform their music for a variety of audiences shaping their work to communicate ideas and feelings and engage listeners.
Students continue to learn about music from a range of cultures, times and locations, both in their community and beyond. As they listen to, compose and perform music, students explore social and cultural contexts of music considering how different types of music develop, and how composers and performers communicate ideas and concepts through music.
Students extend their ability to use their voices, instruments and equipment, safely and appropriately, individually and in groups. Their understanding of the roles of artists and audiences builds as students engage with more diverse performances.
By the end of Level 6, students use the elements of music, their voices, instruments and technologies to improvise, arrange, compose and perform music. They sing and play music in different styles and use music terminology, demonstrating listening, technical and expressive skills, performing with accuracy and expression for audiences.
Students explain how the elements of music are used to communicate ideas and purpose in the music they listen to, compose, and perform. They describe how their music making is influenced by music from different cultures, times and locations, using music terminology.
