Texture
This interactive resource supports the teaching of appraising by concentrating on one of the 8 elements of music - texture.

The resource explains that texture is built up in layers. A variety of audio examples are provided to illustrate differences in texture.

Pupils are given the opportunity to arrange a piece, selecting and deselecting layers to alter the texture and see how the piece builds.

Pupils are also given the opportunity to compose their own piece using layers to build texture.

Finally, pupils appraise two musical pieces which are sound examples of how texture can build effectively.
