The second of three core learning threads, learning activities in this thread explore aspects relating to the concept of musical pitch - experience relationships between members of a ‘family of musical tones’ and the personalities they create.

The exploration of musical pitch begins with simple aural awareness skills such as whether sounds are "the same or different" and sensing the difference between "high and low" sounds.

These building block abilities form the basis of a methodical learning progression aimed at bringing into conscious awareness the phonics of musical sounds familiar to the learner from previous singing and listening experiences. This learning is achieved through formal presentations and much practice.
