Music Moves is a series of music programs for upper primary and lower secondary students developed in consultation with Arts curriculum advisers in the states and territories. The series aims to develop musical thinking and decision making, with a focus on exploring, experimenting and creating music. Within this context the programs explore music concepts such as duration, dynamics, pitch, tone colour and structure. It is not assumed that viewers will have a formal music background, and the programs are intended for use by both the general teacher and music specialist.

Each program begins with a different starting point for composition, and a presenter, along with young musicians, demonstrates a process for students to follow in creating their own compositions. Other segments in the programs provide historical and cultural contexts to develop music appreciation and understanding.

Wednesday 29 October 10.15am	07. Soundscape (Repeat) Beginning with a poem about the wind, students identify sound words in the poem in order to explore the concepts of tone colour, a sound score and graphic notation to represent these sounds.

Wednesday 12 November 10.15am	09. Pathways to Music (Repeat) In this program, students start by creating shapes and movement pathways with their bodies to create a movement composition . The composition is notated graphically, with symbols and pictures, and the resulting sound score is interpreted musically. This approach to music composition is rich and rewarding, and the process generates a lot of exciting musical decision making. Other segments in the program further explore the relationship between movement and sound.
