Musical Concepts
Music is patterns of melody, rhythm, harmony, tempo/dynamics, and timbre combined to create repetition, variation and contrast. We use these patterns to create music and we respond emotionally and intellectually to our perceptions and interpretations of these patterns of music.

• The 6 concepts of music • Duration • Pitch • Dynamics and Expressive Techniques • Tone Colour • Texture • Structure.
• Duration The way beats are grouped: time signatures.
• Texture, intensity, quality, pitch are the basic elements of music 

The learners experience and learn music through the different kinds songs, movement and games that includes music. The learners experience in music is based on knowing the different kinds of music. At the end they use that knowledge to identify different kinds of elements in music. They can use the non-lomotor or the locomotor movements to illustrate the music concept they heard. 

The pitch in demonstrating the melodic contour learners can do that by just using their hands, and get through movements by using the meter and rhythm separately.

How do music concepts relate to life skills, mathematics and language education:

Probably the closest connection between music and math is that they both use patterns. Music has repeating choruses and sections of songs and in math patterns are used to explain and predict the unknown. Mathematics in the study of patterns, and you can study everything in music from different mathematical perspectives, including geometry, number theory, trigonometry, differential calculus, and signal processing.

Music and singing enables the speaking of English in a more relaxed and non-threatening context. The use of song picture books allows the learner to see, sing and learn the language. Music allows for the learning of language structures and words, thus improving conversational and social communication skills.

Music can help with the development of maths skills. By listening to musical beats your child can learn basic fractions, pattern-recognition and problem solving. Children who study music also have improved spatial intelligence and ability to form mental pictures of objects – skills that are important for more advanced mathematics.
