Aboriginal inspiration for a Soundscape lesson
June 20, 2011
Aboriginal stories about life and life-cycles revolve around 4 different natural elements.
Sun, Moon, Water, Land
Divide your class into 4 groups, each labelled Sun, Moon, Water or Land. In 15 minutes they will choose classroom instruments and/or sound sources to depict their label … Each group performs to the rest of the class … Discuss and decide upon a logical order for the soundscape sections … Perform all 4 sections in their order.

Could I have a copy of ‘Aboriginal Inspiration for a Soundscape Lesson’ please?
Thanks.
RE previous request for info on ‘Aboriginal Inspiration for a Soundscape Lesson’, my interest is for children aged 0 – 8 years. Thanks.
As was in the original post – the essence of the soundscape is for students to create their own ideas, using whatever percussion you have in the classroom, based on earth + water + wind + fire. ENJOY!
sorry, should have read Sun + Moon + Water + Land
