LEARNING GOAL: You will demonstrate how to play a minor scale in quarter notes and half notes.

MINDS ON! In music, there are always patterns that emerge. One type of pattern is the scale. This is a series of notes that move up or down in a stepwise motion. How would you describe the different feelings between a major and minor scale? Scales help to develop your understanding of how music is composed and your skill in playing notes. Work slowly on this to increase your accuracy.

ACTION! In order to be successful with this task, you will need to:

• Practise playing the C minor blues scale on your ukulele until you can play it smoothly with 90% accuracy;

• Keep a steady beat by moving your toe inside your shoe;

• Play the rhythm of the scale accurately and at a slow tempo;
