Welcome to Music!
Our music program at Weetangera fosters confident, creative and curious young musicians through active, hands-on learning experiences. Drawing on the Orff approach, students learn music by singing, moving, playing tuned and untuned percussion instruments, improvising and creating in a collaborative and engaging environment. Through practical exploration, students develop their understanding of the elements of music while building technical skills, creativity and musical confidence.
Students regularly perform on a variety of classroom instruments, sing a diverse repertoire of songs, and compose original music using a range of compositional devices and musical structures. They are encouraged to experiment with rhythm, melody, harmony, texture, dynamics and form to communicate ideas and express themselves musically. Throughout the program, students listen, perform, compose and respond to music from a range of cultures, styles and contexts, developing an appreciation of music as a powerful form of creativity, communication and connection.
