During the first class of the week, students will hand in their listening journals. They will have a test on the elements of the blues. Information from the study sheet such as the history/context of the blues, blues melody, blues harmony, blues lyrics and blues rhythms will be included on this test.
During the second class of the week, students will review measures 52-60 of "Big Raven" and add measures 60 to the end. Playing tests on Frere Jaques will be continued.
Homework: Students should prepare for their tests, complete their journal and practise "Big Raven" measures 52 to the end.
Grade 8: This is practise week 10 in term 2. Students should practise twice this week outside of class.
During the first class of the week, students will review the one-beat rhythm patterns which will be used in STOMP. The worksheet provided should be finished in class or for homework.
During the second class of the week, "Music In My World" projects are due for most classes. During the period, students will be identifying students who possess strengths in the areas of music, movement, leadership, organization and cooperation. These strengths will be considered as we form our STOMP groups of 8-9 students. Then we will begin defining roles within the group and begin composing the polyphonic section (many equally important musical ideas which are performed at one time) of our performance.
Homework: Students should complete their "Music in My World" project and hand it in. They should practise clapping and counting one beat patterns using their worksheet.
