Our tutors will teach Year 4 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they achieve key outcomes in listening, performing, and creating music. By the end of Year 4, students describe how the elements of music are used in the pieces they hear and create. They learn to listen critically and use musical elements like rhythm, pitch, dynamics, and tempo to create simple compositions. Students sing and play music in informal settings, developing their ability to perform confidently and express themselves through music.
Our tutors will ensure to cover all topics from the Year 4 Music curriculum:
Exploring and Responding:
Students explore different types of music from diverse cultures and time periods, discussing how music conveys messages or emotions. They listen actively to various music styles, identifying instruments and musical elements.
Developing Practices and Skills:
Students develop their skills in singing, playing instruments, and using body percussion. They practise rhythm, beat, and pitch, and explore how changes in dynamics and tempo can alter the mood of a piece.
Creating and Making:
Students experiment with creating their own music, using rhythms, melodies, and simple notation. They combine sounds to express ideas, using both traditional and digital instruments.
Presenting and Performing:
Students share their music with peers, performing songs they have learned or composed. They practise performing with expression and accuracy, learning to follow cues and adjust their playing to match the group.
