Contrasting dynamics (Theme: Space)

Important note

This unit helps children with developing knowledge and understanding of dynamics using instruments; learning to compose and play rhythms to represent planets. This unit replaces the Year 2 unit Dynamics, timbre, tempo and motifs (Theme: Space), which is permanently available in our archive but is no longer updated in line with curriculum or website developments.

For the most up-to-date information about our music scheme, please refer to the document Music: Long-term plan.
