These pages support and develop aspects of the QCA scheme of work for music at KS1 and KS2, Unit 9: Animal Magic. This unit 'develops children's ability to create, perform and analyse short descriptive compositions that combine sounds, movements and words'. In this unit, children are presented with the starting- point of music about animals in order that they may begin to recognize and explore ways in which sounds can be used descriptively. They consider how combinations of musical elements including pitch, duration, dynamics and tempo can contribute to the effectiveness of these musical descriptions
