A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the Year 5, Computing unit, Sonic Pi.

This resource is designed to support the pupils as they explore how coding can be used to create music. It highlights key vocabulary and programming concepts, such as live loop, loop, debug, and tempo, while introducing the pupils to the basics of writing and editing code in Sonic Pi. The pupils will learn how to use commands to generate sound, structure musical patterns, and manipulate pitch, rhythm, and timbre in their own coded compositions. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and fostering creativity by encouraging the pupils to experiment with programming and music. Through hands-on activities, they will develop problem-solving skills, learn how to debug errors in their code and gain confidence in using coding as a tool for artistic expression. The unit also introduces the pupils to the role of algorithms in music production, helping them understand how technology and the arts can work together.
