Elaborations
- singing songs, performing chants/raps or playing instrumental music they have learnt or composed for an audience of peers and teachers
- following agreed decisions about how the music should sound; for example, using singing voice rather than speaking voice, holding beaters or instruments in ways that produce clear and clean sound, performing at the agreed tempo
- making decisions about how/where to sit/stand in a performance space; for example, deciding if they can see cues/signals from other performers or a conductor more easily if they are standing in curved or straight rows, or whether they can perform an instrumental part more accurately/comfortably when standing or sitting
- introducing a performance by writing text for a slide that shares information about the music with the audience; for example, the title of the music, the name of the composer and identifying where, when or why it was composed, and then projecting the slide before or during the performance
- listening intentionally and respectfully during performances and when invited, participating in the performance by using body percussion (clapping, tapping, stamping) or singing
- contributing to post-performance discussions; for example, sharing ideas about what the best part of the performance was or asking the performers questions such as, “How long have you been singing/playing as a group?” or “How did you get your instrument to …?”
