  1. Singing andplaying new pieces on their own and in groups, using untunedpercussion, descant recorders and own instruments.
  2. Composingpieces in pairs for two chosen instruments.
  3. Using notationwhen reading and using notations in both these pieces and their owncompositions.

They will be able to sing, with confidence and withimproving recognition of pitch, songs with a range of about anoctave when performing in a group. They will be able to playchosen classroom percussion instruments correctly and with somemanual dexterity.

Composing

Most childrenwill compose a part within a classroom percussion duet. They willbe able to select a variety of sounds and dynamics to create apiece with some contrast and interest. They will be able to notatetheir piece so that they and others are able to perform them laterwith some accuracy.

Listening

Most childrenwill be able to listen with concentration to short pieces ofmusic. They will be able to recognise different instruments bysound. They will recognise and then demonstrate the pulse of apiece of music using clapping, movements or dance.

Appraising
