Shivan is seated in front of a piano. His teacher is playing a major harmony on the piano that is extended through repetition and an increase in volume. Having been motionless, Shivan becomes animated: rocking, vocalising and, finally, playing a note on the piano himself. It is reasonable to interpret Shivan’s responses as indicating pleasure at hearing the increase in intensity of sound.

Domain, Level, Element:

R.2.B … makes differentiated responses to qualities of sounds that differ (eg loud/quiet) and/or change (eg get louder)

Summative assessment:

R.2.Emerging … consistently reacts to one type of sound
