What are graphic
scores?
Lesson 1 - Graphic scores
LO: To use musical notations and perform.
• A graphic score is a
way in which a
composer can
compose a piece
without using
common music
notation.
Using Symbols to represent
instruments
• When using a graphic score, you need to assign each instrument a symbol.
• The symbols can be simple or complicated, it is up to you!
• Each symbol should be different so that the score is easy to read.
What does the score look like?
• Once you have chosen your symbols, you will
need to put your symbols into a score. How
would this sound?
Triangle Bells Drum
El Jarabe Tapatio
Listen to the following piece of
music. In your draft books, make a
note of any instruments you
hear…

Discuss…
Did you identify the following instruments?...
Guitar?
Trumpet and violin?
This week we will work as
a class to compose a piece
of music to play alongside
El Jarabe Tapatio.
We will use percussion instruments.
Next week we will use our
composition to create
a graphic score.
What are percussion instruments?...
Now let’s think about how
we can play our percussion
alongside El Jarabe Tapatio.
(Small groups, 4 instruments per group – 1 section of music per group)
Practise, then perform and record.
Lesson 2 – Graphic Scores
LO: To use and understand musical notations
and graphic scores.
Think back to last week’s lesson.
How could we display our percussion on
a graphic score, so that someone else could
play along?
Have a look at this graphic score…
What does it tell you? How would this piece
of music sound?
Remind yourselves of last week’s
composition. Let’s remind ourselves of the music…
Think carefully about when you played or when
you had to pause.
What symbol will represent your instrument?
Can you create a graphic score to represent
your group composition?
