This unit develops pupils' ability to explore sounds and compose, using both acoustic and electronic sound sources. The emphasis is on how music technology can support and affect the way music is created, performed and heard.
Pupils learn how individual sounds have their own 'fingerprints', and that synthesisers and samplers can be used to reproduce and imitate acoustic sounds. They learn how to use a mixture of acoustic and electronic sounds in composition work and how to assess the effectiveness of their work. They also begin to appreciate how electronic effects can be used to change sounds in performance, how recordings are made, and how MIDI technology can be used to process musical sounds.
This unit is expected to take 5-14 hours.
