Year 7 : Pitch
Objectives
(a) To play a theme on a pitched instrument with regard to ensemble.
Notes for guidance
Recommended software
To hear the MIDI files, a plug-in is required to hear them. The standard Windows media player is barely adequate. A preferred MIDI player is the crescendo plug-in.ICT opportunities
Pupils could use a sequencer to layer the different parts to the song. Alternatively, for weaker pupils, a pre-prepared sequenced file could be ready for pupils to add a percussion track.
Resources
Pitched percussion instruments such as keyboards and glockenspiels.
