Soundabout Life Cards: Level 3
Copy me, copy you! Level 3 is all about recognising and making simple patterns in sound and developing an understanding of self, others and the wider world through simple sound patterns.
Your young adult might engage with patterns of sound, create simple patterns in sound with their voice or instruments, or copy individual sounds or patterns in sound played by others. They might also connect movement and feelings with patterns in sound and show an awareness of self, others and the wider world through patterns in sound.
