Content Descriptor

interpret music in a variety of forms and/or styles, manipulating elements of music and employing relevant vocal/instrumental techniques

Elaborations

  • • investigating and trialling ways of realising stylistic features when rehearsing; for example, using effects such as distortion, decay or delay, or using accent/stress to achieve a stylistic feel when interpreting melodies or rhythmic patterns
  • • interpreting music that is notated/documented in a range of formats, such as graphic or interactive scores, staff notation or tablature (TAB) and recordings; for example, using a recording and a chart that includes melody, form and harmony/chords to develop an arrangement of a song
  • • using student and teacher set goals as a focus for practising and rehearsing a range of solo and/or ensemble music
  • • manipulating sound quality by applying understanding of the range of sounds/timbres that different instruments and voice types can produce; for example, manipulating dynamics and timbre in voice or acoustic or digital instruments to create a specific effect
