Transforming Communities

Sounds of Intent

Count Me In! is based on the Sounds of Intent framework which identifies six potential levels of engagement with music. In Count Me In! we focus on four levels:

Sound Makers

Sound Makers will experience music in a sensory way, and are developing their capacity to engage with sound.

Pattern Makers

Pattern Makers are able to recognize simple patterns in sound such as a steady beat.

Motif Makers

Motif Makers can recognize and create “building blocks” of music: rhythmic groups of notes or short bursts of melody (e.g. riffs, hooks or jingles).

Music Makers

Music Makers understand songs and short pieces of music and show a developing ability to play or sing in time and in tune.
