STUDENTS WILL NEED TO:
Identify Key Signatures
Draw Key Signatures
Draw Major & minor scales
Identify Relative Major & Minors
Draw Circle of Fifths
Draw correct Order of Sharps and Flats
Know how to count Dotted Rhythms
Know how to count 16th Note Variations
Be able to add counts for rhythms in 4/4 time and 6/8 time
Be able to do musical math. Example: How many quarter notes are in one dotted half note?
Be able to fill in a blank note value chart (on pg. 24B)
16th Note Variations (see answers on pg. 2)
Dotted Rhythms Continued - see worksheet
The Dot
The dot adds half a value to the value of the note OR makes it worth 3 of the value below it.
The notes attached help explain this process as well as demonstrate the correct way to count dotted rhythms.
Rhythm Tree
Be able to identify notes on all 3 clefs (where is FACE?)
Be able to draw and identify the reference pitch on all 3 clefs (treble = G ; Bass = F; Alto = C)
Be able to draw Middle C on each clef
Label a blank keyboard, (black keys get 2 names each)
Be able to place a note from the staff onto the correct key of a keyboard (see homework pgs. 17-20)
Define
Enharmonic - one note with multiple names
Sharp - # raises a note 1 half step
Flat - b lowers a note 1 half step
Double Sharp - X raises a note 2 half steps
Double Flat - bb lowers a note 2 half steps
Be able to give examples of Enharmonic pairs ex: F# & Gb / C# & Db / Fb & E
In Class: Labeling Sharp and Flat notes on the Keyboard pg. 17 & 19 (answers attached)
Remember to reference every note to its distance from Middle C.
HW: pg. 19 completed
More practice with notation of ledger lines
HW: pg. 23
Intro to Recorder playing:
-Cover the holes completely
-Use Warm/Gentle air
-Relax jaw ( tension causes squeaks)
-Say "do" with your tongue to articulate between notes
Ledger lines are partial staves added above or below the staff when a note goes above or beyond the 5 lines.
As a note gets higher or lower, the previous ledger lines remain in place to mark the space taken up before the new note.
see pg. 6
HW: pg. 7
Treble Clef = G-Clef
Alto Clef = C - Clef
Bass Clef = F - Clef
Each clef shows where that note goes on the staff.
Skip counting in music goes -> F - A - C - E - G - B - D
Notation
Notes move up andd down the staff from line to space to line to space. The letters are in alphebetical order when the notes go up. They are in reverse alphebetical order when the notes go down. The musical alphabet is comprised of letters A through G.
