Analyse standard music notation | 1.1 Identify signs used to interpret the rhythm and pitch of musical pieces 1.2 Identify directions and markings for expression, volume and phrasing 1.3 Distinguish the major characteristics of music from various musical styles with reference to their notation 1.4 Discuss issues of music notation and how they inform the process of analysing dance with relevant personnel |
2. Make connections between movement and music in a cultural context | 2.1 Distinguish between music from different cultural contexts 2.2 Contrast aspects of different styles of music 2.3 Analyse musical forms, characteristically used to structure music in dance works, from different cultural contexts 2.4 Analyse the relationship between movement and music in dance works from different cultural contexts 2.5 Define the relationship between the expressive qualities of movement and accompanying sound |
