What Students Will Learn

Learning Goals

Understand fundamental programming concepts such as algorithms, sequences, loops, and conditional logic through musical and rhythmic activities.
Develop skills in creating, sequencing, and performing rhythmic patterns using body percussion and interactive tasks.
Apply conditional IF/THEN rules to connect actions with triggers in storytelling and familiar songs.
Enhance listening, creativity, and collaboration by transforming stories into coded musical experiences.
Practice debugging and precise execution of instructions to build logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Learning Outcomes

Apply body percussion techniques to demonstrate and perform sequences representing programming concepts such as algorithms, loops, and debugging.
Construct and execute IF/THEN conditional rules using song structures and everyday objects, evaluating their outcomes in group activities.
Develop interactive musical stories by coding rhythmic actions to specific narrative triggers, enhancing listening and sequencing skills.
Sequence musical elements to represent story events, applying logical order and debugging to refine and present performances.
Collaborate in pairs or groups to create and adapt rhythmic or conditional music sequences, incorporating creative feedback for inclusive participation.
