1. THEORY AND COMPOSITION UNIT 2 PART 1

2. BELLWORK: REVIEW SKILLS:

3. OUTCOMES  Scholars Will:  Grammar: Learn the names and values of common rhythms.  Logic: Do a short composition for Djembe and Piano

4. PIANO POWER  C Major 5 finger pattern and C major scale.  The notes: C D E F G A B C B A G F E D C  The fingering: 1 2 3- 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1- 3 2 1  How to shift:

5. TAKE NOTES  Double-flat: lowers a note by two half-steps, or a whole step.  Double-sharp: raises a note by two half-steps, or one whole step.  Enharmonic: a note, interval, or key signature that is equivalent to some other note, interval, or key signature but "spelled", or named differently.  Octave: the interval between the first and last of eight notes is an octave. Two notes separated by an octave have the same letter name and are of the same pitch class.

6. MUSICAL LADDER  Music reading is often like climbing a ladder.  Notes alternate line to space Notes follow the alphabet A B C D E F G A

7. CFU: FLYSWATTER  In teams identify the following notes in treble, bass and alto clef by hitting the letter name of the note on the board.

9. DOUBLE-FLAT- DRAW 10 OF THEM

10. DOUBLE-SHARP- DRAW 10 OF THEM

11. CFU: ENHARMONICS SNOWBALL  Like a notes’ nickname– same note, different name.  On your slip of paper write down three note names (i. e. F#) then crumple it up and throw it to the front of the room.  Two of the notes should be accidentals.  Everyone will retrieve one slip of paper and write down the enharmonic equivalent of that note– if you want a challenge, write out 2 equivalents of the note (when possible!).

12. INTERVALS  Melodic vs Harmonic  Melodic Intervals: occur one note after the other.  Harmonic Intervals: occur simultaneously.

13. OCTAVE- IT’S GOT 8  Write out 2 examples of an octave on your scholar guide: Melodic and Harmonic.

14. LEDGER LINE PRACTICE  Identify the ledger line notes written in your scholar guide.  Helpful hint:  Figure out the name of the line closest to the ledger line and then work from there.

15. TODAY’S LISTENING: MOZART’S REQUIEM: LACRYMOSA  Highlight the cello part today.

16. CADENCES– THE PLAGAL  An “Amen” chord is what is known as a plagal cadence.  In detail, it is a IV chord resolving to a I chord.  Sing it with me:

17. PICARDY THIRD  What makes it so beautiful in this instance, is that we are expecting a minor chord, but instead Mozart ends with a major chord—this is called a picardy third.  It refers to the use of a major chord of the tonic at the end of a musical section that is either modal or in a minor key. This is achieved by raising the third of the expected minor triad by a semitone to create a major triad, as a form of resolution.

18. DICTATION #2  This dictation is four bars long.  I will give you the starting note.  This is in 4/4 time- four quarter notes per measure.  I will play it 4 times.  The first time only write down the rhythm.

19. OTTMAN: 53-54
