During our first class, we will review song 54 and learn to perform the melody in two ways: as a round and as a blues song.
During our second class of the week, we will learn about the harmony, or background used in the blues. We will receive 2 worksheets to introduce chords, and how they are used in the 12-bar blues. Then, we will create a 12-bar blues background using three different chords.
Homework: Practise song 54 as a blues song and practise your 12 bar blues harmony using jazzy rhythms.
Grade 8: This is practise week 7 in term 2. Please practise twice this week outside of class.
During our classes this week, we will continue working on sections C and D of our Style Profile worksheets. Once the elements of music have been determined for each style, students will report on their findings and share their information with the group. Groups will compare and contrast different styles.
If time permits, we will begin learning about the 6 purposes for music and consider how our favourite styles are used in our world.
Homework: Complete section D of the Style Profile sheet.
