This unit develops children's ability to identify different sounds and to change and use sounds expressively in response to a stimulus.

During this unit, children make a variety of sounds with their voices, bodies, found objects and instruments, and explore how these sounds can be changed and used expressively in response to a stimulus. They use this knowledge to select sounds that reflect the mood of chants and songs.

This unit develops children's ability to recognise, and use, pentatonic scales and create short melodies and accompaniments.

In this unit pupils sing songs based on a pentatonic scale. They experiment with the five notes of a pentatonic scale and play them on a range of pitched instruments, individually and together. They use the scale to make up simple songs and accompaniments. This unit should be revisited during the key stage.
