P1 - B5

Structure and texture

  • Sequence a piece of music within a simple structure (e.g. binary), and understand how adding and removing layers alters the texture of a piece of music

When using loops, ask learners to create at least two distinct sections of music and use these two sections to perform a binary (AB) piece of music. Ask learners to create short intros and outros to their work.

When using the sequencer in a DAW, ask learners to add/remove tracks, instruments, and loops to change the texture of their piece. Encourage them to experiment with moving the ‘blocks’ of sounds or ‘regions’ laterally to change the structure and order of their piece of music.
