During the first class of the week, students will have the opportunity to complete their Big Raven tests if they were away. Then we will be going to the computer lab to experience composing with Finale music software. Students will learn how to set up their score and input notes and rests to compose an 8 bar melody.
During the second class of the week, students will learn how to cut and paste measures, add dynamic markings, articulation (staccatos, slurs, ties, accents), repeats and special bar lines. They will also change their solo piece into a duet by adding a second harmony.
Homework: Students should make up/complete any outstanding work.
Grade 8: This is week 17 in term 2. There is no practising homework this week.
During the first class of the week, students will have an opportunity to view the DVD recording of their Stomp performance. They will also see the performances of some other groups. Feedback will be offered to all groups.
During the second class of the week, students work in their Stomp groups to reflect on their performances in Stomp. They will respond to and share their answers to 14 questions about the process of creating a Stomp routine, and their final product. If time permits we will discuss the singing of an original graduation song.
Homework: Students should make up/complete any outstanding work.
