Through listening and viewing activities, students examine music from the perspectives of composer, performer and audience and evaluate and explore how conventions of different styles and media can be combined to create meaning.

Students develop their musical literacy skills through engaging with a diverse range of musical scores in listening and performing activities.

They develop their composition skills by learning how to use a range of sound sources, sound production methods and digital technologies to improvise, generate, compose, manipulate, arrange, notate and record compositions.

The unit is supported by a sample assessment task, slide deck, teacher resource booklet and score booklets.
