During the first class of the week, students will continue to be evaluated on Frere Jaques Blues Duets (melody from song 54 and harmony from their 12 bar blues sheet). They will also continue applying riffs (jazzy rhythm patterns) to their 12 bar blues. They will review measures 1-35 of Big Raven. Listening Journals are due next class!
During the second class of the week, students will receive a blues lyrics worksheet, and learn about the topics and structure of blues song words. They will begin measures 52-60 in Big Raven. Listening Journals are due today!
Homework: Practise measures 1-35 and 52-60 of Big Raven.
Complete the Blues Lyrics worksheet.
Grade 8:This is week 9 in term 2. Students should practise at least 2 times outside of class this week.
During our first class of the week, students will watch the video "Stomp Out Loud" which introduces our new Stomp! unit, and allows students to consider how the elements of music and movement are used to create artistic performances.
During the second class of the week, students will have a rhythm lesson which introduces a variety of one-beat rhythm patterns using quarter, eighth and sixteenth patterns. In groups, they will compose an 8 beat pattern using these patterns, select an original object to "play" this pattern on, and perform it with other patterns to create a polyphonic composition.
Homework: continue work on "Music in Your World" project due by April 21, 2011.
