Overview
Year 4 students further hone their ensemble skills, now incorporating melody and accompaniment using the recorder. This unit aligns with the curriculum’s objective of nurturing collaborative music-making experiences. Pupils expand their ability to work together in a musical context, understanding the interplay between melody and accompaniment. This development lays the foundation for more complex ensemble work, preparing them for future ensemble notation and performance tasks.

- Play melodies on tuned percussion, melodic instruments, or keyboards, following staff notation written on one stave and using notes within the middle C–G/do–so range.
- Perform in two or more parts (e.g. melody and accompaniment or a duet) and identify the static and moving parts.
- Copy short melodic phrases including those using the pentatonic scale.
