Graphic scores

First year students have created graphic scores.  The project consisted of  creating music without using a stave, notes or dynamics, They had to use drawings and symbols in order to represent  changes in timbre, volume, duration and pitch. They had to work  in groups and  use a maximum of two musical instruments. The rest of the sounds  had to be performed by using their own bodies or school supplies.

Our sound map

In the last few weeks, first year students have learnt about the differences between, sound and noise. They also looked into the sources of noise pollution in their neighbourhood and at home in order to be aware of  this invisible pollutant.

After that, they created their own sound map with Padlet Maps, an online application. Here they uploaded a recording of the streets they live in to show their particular sound environment. They have  also registered maxímun and minimun levels of noise in decibels, after using a soundmeter application for several days.
