How We Express Ourselves
Emoji Compositions
Our culminating project in our Symbols Unit was to create compositions that expressed a feeling or idea using symbols that we created, not traditional notation. The students worked in groups and were given emojis to jump start their thinking. See the results below!

Stripsody Project
During this unit we are looking at the roles that symbols play in music. We are discovering that there are lots and lots of different symbols in music, ones that we expected and some that we didn't! One of our projects was looking at the "score" for a piece of music called Stripsody, by Cathy Berberian. It is a composition that is described as a comic strip rhapsody. The "score" is actually a comic strip and the performers look at the pictures and make the sounds implied. We had a lot of fun working on this project, and I would invite you to take a look at the performances below! When the students performed these they had not seen the original performance, so they were interpreting the symbols as they thought they should be interpreted. Enjoy.
