As part of the school’s curriculum every child at Wahroonga participates in Music lessons throughout the year. Music is explored at school by focussing on 5 ways of producing sound:
· Pitch – how high or low
· Tempo – how fast or slow
· Dynamics – how loud or soft
· Duration – how long or short
· Tone colour – how different
All students are given opportunities to play a variety of un-tuned and tuned musical percussion instruments. Simple notation is taught using graphic notation and standard musical notation. Music appreciation forms a large component of this program.
