CP4.6
Create and perform music (voice and instrumental) that demonstrates knowledge of:
  • form (e.g., round, call/response, verse/chorus, rondo)
  • rhythm, beat, and metre (e.g., triplets, 3/4 metre, syncopation; expressive use of tempo and dynamics)
  • pitch, melody, and pentatonic scale (do, re, mi, sol, la, do)
  • harmony and texture (e.g., layers of sound and patterns, partner songs)
  • timbre (e.g., instrument classifications).
Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Sing, play, and identify common music forms (e.g., four bar phrase, round, call and response, verse/chorus/bridge, rondo).

(b)

Investigate how the elements of music are used to establish form in music.

(c)

Ask questions to initiate inquiry into use of the elements and other music concepts under study (e.g., What might happen if we play this section together and then take turns playing each phrase by ourselves? How can we record these ideas using a combination of invented and traditional notation?).

(d)

Use research, including guided Internet searches, to investigate how professional composers use the elements of music and concepts currently under study (e.g., when creating own call and response patterns, when comparing a pop song call and response with a gospel song call and response).

(e)

Incorporate triplets and syncopation into own music compositions.

(f)

Investigate how tempo, dynamics, tone colour, and silence can be used expressively.

(g)

Investigate shape/contours of melody by exploring pitches and rhythms in songs and music, and arranging pitches and rhythms in own compositions.

(h)

Sing partner songs and experiment with layering two or more pitches to create harmony.

(i)

Investigate and analyze the arrangement of ascending and descending pitch patterns/scales.

(j)

Classify and distinguish between various instruments and their sound characteristics.

Eekwol’s Rhythm and Rap Show ft. Lindsay Knight. Grades 3, 4 & 5
Lindsay “Eekwol” Knight has been creating and performing hip hop music for many years. As an Indigenous artist, she draws on life experiences and collective histories within her work. As a mother she embraces the teachings of living in a good way for future generations. Eekwol engages schools in this knowledge and encourages them to reflect on their own understanding of “a good life” and then build these concepts and themes in the process of creative hip hop lyric writing. Through dance breaks, beat and rhythm identification and interactive step by step lyric writing, the kids access their creativity in a unique and powerful way.
