This activity offers learners an opportunity to listen to a soundscape entitled, Far From Home, by composer Adele O’Dwyer. This music introduces a variety of timbral colours through the use of various instruments to express emotions in the music. Learners will learn to interpret for themselves, what the music means to them through this introductory activity.

COVER IMAGE

Listen and Enjoy (audio)

This activity uses a performance of Far From Home by a small varied collection of instruments accompanied by visuals. Both the music and imagery will be used as the inspiration for the creation of something new. Each learner will make a music journal entry page by creating a personal response to the music. This can take the form of a drawing, a story, a poem, a collage, or any other form of creative response that can be recorded on paper. In future activities, learners will explore other ways to respond creatively that require different recording mechanisms. For now, this is a simple start, one that all learners can engage in without technical complications.
