Our goals for this week include finishing "Guantanamera", reviewing the elements of music in preparation for our final marked journal, and learning to perform and create patterns using the pentatonic scale.
During our first class of the week, we will take up the journal entry for "My Favourite Things", and review "Guantanamera", focusing on accuracy in measures 17-25 and 33-46. We will learn to play the pentatonic scale and use these notes to make up (improvise) patterns.
During our second class, we will continue improvisation using the pentatonic and create a 2 or 4 measure ostinato which can be performed alone or in a group.
Homework: Finish learning Guantamera. Compose a pentatonic ostinato.
Grade 8: This is week 11 in term two. Students are expected to practise twice outside of class.
Our goals for this week are to complete "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic and view the remaining incidental music videos.
During the first class of the week, we will continue to perfect measures 33-52 of the Titanic theme. Then we will view some more Incidental Music Projects.
During the second class of the week, we will work on the final section of Titanic, and complete remaining projects.
Homework: Learn to play all of "My Heart Will Go On" with accurate rhythms and pitches. (WATCH OUT for the change in key signature at measure 45!!!)
