We have looked at some different forms of graphic notation and learned how to use them in sequences to make music.
Now its time to make your own graphic notation.
If you do this in pairs or small groups, you can then perform each others musical notation.
Using shapes, words, pictures or symbols:
- Draw a loud sound
- Draw a quiet sound
- Draw a long sound
- Draw a short sound
Now try to make these sound with your voice.
Next, try to make these sounds with simple instruments.
You can then use your new musical notation to make a piece of music
Fill in your notation into one of the worksheets attached to create a Graphic Score!
Perform from left to right, or with one person conducting.
