Learning objective
- To understand the key features of gamelan music
National curriculum
Children should be taught to:
- Play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices ([and playing musical instruments) with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression
- Listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory
- Use and understand staff and other musical notations
- Appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians
- Develop an understanding of the history of music
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Teacher to read the name of each instrument as it appears in the video to help children identify if it appears on their bingo cards. Encourage paired discussion about the music in the Wrapping up activity and use of the key word presentation slide (slide 6 of Presentation: Gamelan music).
Pupils working at greater depth: Could have a go at playing the melody while everyone else is singing it.
