Description

In this unit, pupils listen to music in which two or more styles have been fused together to create something new. They also learn short musical ideas that represent different musical genres and combine these as part of an ensemble.

Pupils now have ample experience being part of an instrumental and vocal ensemble, playing tuned and untuned accompaniments, using syncopation and polyrhythms, and playing within various styles of music. They have also learnt strategies for effective ensemble practice. Now, they are ready to combine all of this learning, creating a fusion ensemble piece and further developing their strategies for effective practice. Pupils can take this learning of combining musical styles into their theme and variation composition unit.
