What Makes a Great Melody?
What Makes a Great Melody?
'A great melody line has steps and skips in them. A step makes the melody sound clear and all together whereas a skip allows you to go whatever range you want.'

'These steps are used to create a sense of fast paced, connected melodies, it makes everything sound smooth since they’re just on a higher or lower pitch by one note. '

'In songwriting it's very common to see the verse relying on steps and the chorus relying on skips. A chords function is mostly defined by the behaviours of the notes in that chord.'

'What Makes Music Scary?' October 30th
'What Makes Music Scary?' October 30th
'The last main thing you can do is have unresolved build-ups. If you want people to feel uneasy. Adding an eerie bar of notes with no ending really makes it hard to relax. Volume,tone and percussion can also help with this.'
submitted by Martel Whittick
'Dissonant chords can create tension and put the listener on edge waiting for a resolution that’s not coming. Even if this was played in a normal range on a normal instrument, it would still sound unpleasant.'
submitted by Brad Chen
'Elements that build suspense, such as a long tempo and dynamic increase(such as the JAWS theme) that make the listener wonder when it will end. Things like sudden movement with the notes also give tension, as well as dissonant, eerie, irregular chords.'
submitted by Aaron DeLeon
'... a violin would never really reach the extremely high notes, or very low notes, since it was never designed to play in that musical range. This is why, when playing these notes, the instrument makes a shrivelled or unpleasant sound, also giving the music a ‘scary’ effect. '

'If It Ain't Baroque, Should You Fix It?' October 19th
'If It Ain't Baroque, Should You Fix It?' October 19th
'The Baroque era was a time where artists were rejecting the restraints of the Renaissance conventions, challenging the views of balance to depict motion, grandeur and theatrics. Deconstructivism and Neo-futurism especially share the trait of being dramatic with the Baroque area. '
submitted by Sara Olano Medina, AMU 101
"What I find more complicated is that the architecture shows emotion. Like, for example, if you take a look at inside St. Peter’s Basilica (below). There is detail in every single square inch of the building. "
submitted by Arhum Nouman
"The defining feature of all Baroque art, whether that be music, visual arts, or even clothing, is extravagance. It was a time where everything had to be lavish, dramatic, and detailed. "

"As for an Interesting melody of my choice, The usage of intervals and spacing in "Orochimaru's theme" creates an interesting sound. Quicker steps and slower leaps diversify the melody and make it interesting. It also utilizes phrasing exceptionally well in resolving the piece."
submitted by Marwan Al-Joundi, AMU 201, SCB
"Verses typically use steps and choruses use skips to provide more energy and excitement. The use of silence in a melody is just as important as having a note. Silence can leave suspense and send a message for the listener while also giving the musicians time to breathe."
submitted by Alanna Tran, AMU 201, SBC, IJ
"Different chords within a key play different roles within a song depending on how they’re used. For example, cadences! Going from a dominant chord into a tonic chord creates a perfect cadence and if used at the end of the song, it works as a finale. However, this concept also can be applied to individual notes within a key as well, and if it’s used correctly, then the song will sound far more appealing to listen to." submitted by Stanny Huang, AMU 201, SCB, IJ"I love the melody for "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. It combines skips and steps to make an upbeat and catchy tune that is hard to forget. It also makes use of antecedents and consequents to make the music flow nicely."

Movie Music Magic
Movie Music Magic
"Unlike a horror movie, [The Dark Knight: Batman], the mysterious and ominous tune is somewhat relieving, and has a build up to a massive beat drop near the end which closes off the movie. I feel like all of these traits combined with the message of the movie make up for an awesome song that left viewers excited and satisfied at the end of the movie. "
submitted by Alan Dakeshov, AMU 201, SCB, IJ
"Batman, in this scene, is in prison because he had failed to defeat Bane, who subsequently had placed him there, so him escaping prison is him learning this lesson that the music helps to convey. The music at the beginning starts soft and as it progresses, the dynamics and tempo begin to increase, while incorporating other elements from drums and chanting from the other movie characters themselves to create a suspenseful atmosphere."submitted by Joel Vicente, AMU 201, SCB, IJ
"The powerful march [Star Wars] brings suspense and makes the viewers feel intimidated by the Empire. The repetition, percussiveness, dynamics and emphasis throughout makes the Imperial March very memorable to viewers."
submitted by Sofia Syed, AMU 201, SCB
"The music should enhance the mood of the scene; if something suspenseful is happening, then the soundtrack should inflict anxiety in the listener. A good example of the use of music to evoke this kind of feeling in the listener is in “Jaws”. "
submitted by Alexandra Neglescu, AMU 201, SCB
"Also, the composer uses music to display a character's [The Hobbit] personality when the character is on screen which is both creative and fascinating when analyzing the movie for these qualities. "
submitted by Sean Dolan, AMU 201, SCB, IJ
" I find this soundtrack [Moana] awesome because it delivers many different emotions and enhances what is being shown on screen, following Moana's pitfall, then her slow climb back to a person put back together, ready to take on the world, and all in between. It also connects with the audience to ensure that the motivational messages are strongly and well received."
submitted by Gabby Cisneros AMU 201, SCB,
"I still love the song “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” [The Lion King]. The first thing I noticed about the song is that the music score has a very upbeat, happy and catchy rhythm, but when I looked more into the song I noticed that the rhythm perfectly portrays Simba’s feelings."

Biological Phenomena/the Black Death/Cool Electron Micrographs, or Ethical Questions about Disease
If it [the Black Death] were to happen today, I think it wouldn't be as deadly because of the resources and knowledge we know now.
Bianca Abraham SNC 2D1
The latest World Health Organization report puts the death toll at just over 3,000 globally, whereas the Black Death was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 30-50% of Europe's population in the mid-14th century. The most disturbing similarity between the two lies not in the diseases themselves but in their social consequences. Shariq Batavia SNC 2D`1Great Music Videos Because...

Ethics in Science
'Having people sacrifice for our community consensually is not only a good way to develop scientifically, but we are able to stay morally transparent within society.' Eleni Mallinos SNC 2D1Ethics in Science
Music in the 60's
'Lennon sings of “Nothing to kill or die for… Living life in peace”, and Dylan advocates for change in society in his lyrics when he sings, “He’s taught in his school… to protect his white skin” to “keep up his hate [towards African Americans]... but it ain’t him to blame, he’s only a pawn in their game”. This kind of reflection of society's problems is unheard of in popular music today. The 60’s music reflected on widespread issues in culture and society.' Marwan AlJoundi, AMU 201Music in the 60's
' I don't think there would be a lot of people out there from newer generations who would enjoy music that's 1960s-style and call it their "go-to genre". In my opinion, I think genres like pop, hip-hop, and r&b are the main representatives of what the music industry today is like. '

Eye-Strain Relief techniques
' If you're going to stare at a screen for a solid 10 minutes and accomplish nothing, I suggest you spend that time reading a book, taking a walk or doing physical chores. I'm guilty of this as there are many points in the day where I think I could be doing something better with my time.' Sean Dolan, AMU 201, IJ, SCB Eye-Strain Relief techniques
Anna Hykway, SNC 2D1'I never thought that the position of the screen or the amount of natural vs. artificial light in the room could have such an impact on my eyes.' Emma Leighton, SNC 2D1

Congratulations goes out to Sean Dolan, this week's winner for grade 10 AMU. It must have been Sean's Greatness as a pelican which held intellectual superiority over different animals in the Kingdon, including wolves. He almost lost it with a sneaky move regarding plagal cadences in the key of E flat major, but he fought on! We welcome back Misthi Pandya as she returns to be this week's winner for Grade 9 Instrumental Music. She is one dynamic Elk; dodging fuzzy goats, and wallaby's and evading Dazzling foxes in her quest. Grade 10 Science had no Kahoot this week, as they finish up a few assignments and had a lengthy Google Meet for their Virtual Microscopy and Biological Drawing lab. See you next week, everyone!

-Happy Easter to all our students in PHS Music, PHS, and our Community....While Easter is a Christian event, the enjoyment and study of Music that revolves around Easter does not need to be religious in nature, and simply helps to remind us that Music is an expression of life around us...and in Western Music, Music initially served to enhance the practice of Religion...but that is not for us to explore is this program at P.H.S.
-J.S. Bach worked for the Lutheran Church, and among his greatest works were compositions that celebrated the Christian event of the Life and Death of Christ... in particular his work in the Passions...expressing the life of Jesus Christ through important religious figures...Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John...but listen to the music as an wonderful offering of functional Baroque Music, and please don't feel that you need to attach a religious value to this work, past it's historical context
-we're wishing everyone a Happy Easter Holiday, and with that, the first online Kahoot that was scheduled for this Friday has been postponed until next Friday...because tomorrow is Good Friday...so we'll be 'Passing Over' tomorrow's Kahoot...(chuckle...)..get it?
-Response topic #2 for all students in Music and Science is about ways to reduce eye strain on the computer. Check out the YouTube link to the side to see how our students are being informed about preventing eye strain as they continue their Distance Learning at Pickering High School
