//Elements of Rhythm// || Create || create, notate, and perform rhythms in a variety of metres || Students write and perform rhythmic composi- tions to demonstrate given metres, using only one or two pitches. In groups, students create a multi- track rhythmic composition (each student records a rhythmic pattern as a track on a sequencer). || Garageband || use appropriate music terminology to describe rhythm and metre || As a class, explore methods of describing rhythms (e.g., note-length names, syllables). Students then develop multimedia dictionaries of rhythm vocabulary taken from the repertoire and  include this in their portfolios. || hypermedia, blogs, wikis || //Elements of Melody// || Inquiry || use appropriate music terminology to describe melody || Teacher introduces the concept of //in tune// and uses media (e.g., oscilloscope, video, computer, electronic tuner) to demonstrate visual representation of pitch and other properties of sound. Students discuss the pros and cons of various methods to tune an ensemble (e.g., with an oscilloscope, norm based on a section leader). Discuss other methods to identify pitch (e.g., by touching instruments, speakers, or voice boxes to  feel the vibrations). || electronic tuners tuner plug-in for logic studio, etc... || represent thoughts, images, and feelings derived from a music experience || Play a recording and have students create non- musical representations of the music’s form (e.g.,  digital storytelling, comics...) || Use Comic Life, iMovie, Moviemaker to create a digital story || //Form and the Principles of Design// || Create || apply a variety of music forms and principles || Create a composition demonstrating the principles of design using pre-recorded music material (e.g., MIDI sequences, loops and samples) || Reason, Garageband ||
