A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Music, Year 1: Timbre and Rhythmic Patterns (Fairytales).

This resource supports pupils as they explore musical storytelling by responding to and interpreting the sounds and rhythms found in fairytales. It introduces key vocabulary and concepts such as timbre, rhythm, and pulse, helping pupils identify different instrumental sounds and use them creatively to represent characters or actions. The unit encourages active listening and performance, using tuned and untuned percussion instruments to bring stories like Peter and the Wolf to life. Through these experiences, pupils develop confidence in performing, composing, and describing music expressively.
