Unit 1: Performing Music • This unit gives students the opportunity to perform as a soloist and/or as part of an ensemble. • Teachers and students can choose music in any style. • Any instrument(s) and/or voice(s) are acceptable as part of a five/six-minute assessed performance. Unit 2: Composing • This unit encourages students to develop their composition skills leading to the creation of a three-minute piece in response to a chosen brief. • Students also write a CD sleeve note to describe aspects of their final composition and explain how other pieces of music have influenced it. Unit 3: Developing Musical Understanding • This unit focuses on listening to familiar music and understanding how it works. • Set works from the anthology provide the focus for the first two sections, through listening and studying scores. • It is recommended that students familiarise themselves with each work as a whole, before learning how to identify important musical features and social and historical context. • In the third section, students use a score to identify harmonic and tonal features and then apply this knowledge in the completion of a short and simple passage for SATB.
