Music Targets “I Can” StatementsEvidence: How I achieved this? Play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts I can sing in the Gospel Choir confidently because you can sing in a choir which means you will be heard in a harmony part and I would be so shy to be a soloist. I can sing solos confidently Use voices and instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control, expression I can do actions in time with the songs that we sing I can sing sensitively, paying attention to volume, and the style of music I can tell whether my voice is a “ soprano or a alto” Because sopranos sing high and altos sing low Improvise and compose music for a arrange of purposes using the inter-related dimensions of music I can compose music using live instruments and technology I can improvise a drum kit accompaniment to a piece of hip hop Music Because on the ipads we had to make a drum kit synthesizer I can create sound effects to create a particular mood for a song

Targets “I Can” StatementsEvidence: How have I achieved this? Listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory I can sing and remember harmony parts confidently in a choir because we learnt all the harmony parts and we doing it all together so its easer as a choir I can remember all the words for the songs because I learnt them all. I can remember all of the words to the songs Use and understand staff and other musical notations I understand and can compose using visual notation Appreciate and understand a wide range of live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians I can describe the sounds in a composition I can describe the form and structure of a composition

Evidence: How have I achieved this? Other things that I would like to do Other things that I would like to do
