A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Music, Year 4, Body and Tuned Percussion (Theme: Rainforests).
 

This resource supports pupils as they explore the vibrant sounds of the rainforest through body percussion and tuned instruments. It introduces key vocabulary and concepts such as rhythm, melody, texture, dynamics, timbre, and pitch, helping pupils understand how different sounds and layers create musical compositions. The unit encourages pupils to use their bodies—clapping, tapping, and stamping—as well as instruments like glockenspiels and xylophones to represent rainforest environments. By engaging with these musical elements, pupils develop their ability to compose, perform, and appraise music that reflects natural soundscapes.
