Illustrating Music

As part of our arts focus this term we are learning how to respond to and annotate music in different ways. We have spent some time listening to different types of music and noticing the volume, speed and beat. This is helping us to notice how musicians create different layers of music.

We watched this video by the musician Len Lye

Then we used different colours and markings to add what we could hear in the music to an image... what could the volume look like, or the beat, or the speed that we can hear? We listened to some sounds and annotated them on the image. Here are some of our ideas.

We will also learn how to use the Garage Band app to explore how to compose soundscapes.
