ASME NSW are running a professional learning day tomorrow on our various new syllabi, and I realised that I haven’t shared one of the units of work that I updated for the 7-10 syllabus (Stage 4) last year – so that’s what this is.
If you’ve followed my teaching and composition/production for long enough, you’ll know that I’m very interested in musical cryptography – hiding messages in music through codes written in pitches, rhythms, perhaps even a waveform itself! There is an older version of this in GarageBand here on my blog, and the following documents would allow you to teach this unit in Stage 4.
If you are creating new or updating old units of work for the new syllabi (including Stage 5), don’t forget that I’ve also shared the unit of work planners that we use in teacher training at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and the ChatGPT agents that I created to help map what you’re doing in your units with the new Content Points:
