music elements are the building blocks in music.
examples of music concepts are pitch- how high or low the the sound in music is, beat- a steady and regular pulse we hear in music, rhythm- the combination of regular repeated pattern formed by different lengths of movement or sound, harmony- two or more notes sounded together, timbre- quality of sound that makes you to make distinction between instruments even when they play the same pitch and rhythm, beat- a steady and regular pulse we hear in music and melody.
experiencing and facilitating music concepts through movements, songs and games.
learners usually listen to pieces of music in order to identify different music elements. they can either use locomotor or non-locomotor movements to show the music concept they have identified. for example in pitch they can demonstrate the melodic contour with their hands. they can show the difference between meter and rhythm through movements(walk to the beat and clap the rhythm), body percussion where they'll either clap or stomp their feet.
how do music concepts relate to life skills, mathematics and language education.
in mathematics, music elements such as steady beats, rhythm and melody teaches spatial properties, sequencing and counting by using musical activities to teach math, it will make learning more fun and appealing to kids and will improve their thinking ability.
