Fanfare Competition - Orchestrating Your Composition
Lesson9 of 12 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7 - 10The ArtsMusic
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will orchestrate the fanfare they have composed in previous Fanfare lessons. They will revisit the concept of Tone Colour to recall how musical instruments can create mood and feeling, then make instrumental choices based on how they intend their audience to feel. Students will then use notation software or hand write the instrumental parts for their own short 30 second attention grabbing piece of music which they can then enter into the Fanfare Competition.

- understand how to orchestrate a piece of music

Success criteria

- blend instruments together to create one sound that works well for their composition.
