| Session 4: 14.00 | Like a Version: A unit on variation, revamping, recycling aimed at upper primary and lower secondary |
| How do musicians transform existing ideas into something fresh and original? This unit, designed for upper primary and lower secondary students, focuses on concepts like theme and variations, quotation, sampling, and interpolation. It emphasizes composing with the help of basic tech tools while exploring how these techniques are used across genres such as classical, jazz, pop, and film soundtracks. These musical styles serve as excellent examples for students to study and apply in their own creative work. | |
