  • GENERAL MUSIC Grade 3
    GENERAL MUSIC Grade 3 Course Overview: Grade 3 students will engage in a wide variety of music activities, including singing, playing instruments, and dancing. Music notation is addressed through reading rhythm subdivisions to sixteenth notes, multiple beat notations, and reading five note melodic notations on a five line staff. They also continue building the foundation of musical vocabulary. NOTE: Throughout this document, learning target types are identified as knowledge (“K”), reasoning (“R”), skill (“S”), or product (“P”). NATIONAL STANDARD 1: Students sing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music. Benchmark 1: Students sing independently, on pitch and in rhythm, with appropriate timbre, diction, and posture, and maintain a steady tempo. Learning Targets (Type): 1) I can label a melody that moves by step, skip, or repeat when I listen to a so n g or sing a song. (R) 2) I can identify steps, skips, and repeats when I see them on a treble staff. (K) 3) I can play the steady beat with body percussion or on an instrument when I sing a song. (S) 4) I can play the melodic rhythm of the song using body percussion or unpitched percussion instruments.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUKE ELLINGTON’S COMPOSITIONAL STYLE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THREE SELECTED WORKS Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington’s compositions are significant to the study of jazz and American music in general. This study examines his compositional style through a comparative analysis of three works from each of his main stylistic periods. The analyses focus on form, instrumentation, texture and harmony, melody, tonality, and rhythm. Each piece is examined on its own and their significant features are compared. Eric S.

  • Scheme of Work: Riffs, Ostinati and Loops
    Scheme of work: Focus - Riffs, Ostinati and Loops This resource is a scheme of work to help you teach our GCSE Music specification (8271). The subject content of the four areas of study focuses strongly on the musical elements. We recommend that the three components (understanding music, performing and composing) are taught holistically. This scheme of work is designed to strengthen the connection between listening, performing and composing. It highlights how many of the musical elements are universal and can be applied across different genres and styles of music. You can adapt this scheme of work to suit a variety of circumstances. It covers: all four areas of study how to integrate listening, performing and composing to support progression through the activities the relationship between the area of study and the musical elements to demonstrate universality musical elements taken from the area of study musical elements tables in the specification.

  • Pads and Punches Pads and Punches Usually Use All of the Voices of the Chord at the Same Time
    Chords: Rhythm The rhythms that chordal instrument play can be broken into four categories: pads, punches, ostinatos, and riffs. Rhythms from each category can exist at the same time in a song as long as the range, amount of voices in a chord, and volume is different between the instruments playing them. Pads and Punches Pads and punches usually use all of the voices of the chord at the same time. Pads are chords that have a long duration. The attack of a pad can occur at the same time as the kick, and the release can happen at the same time as a kick or snare. Pads are frequently played at the start of a chord and end when the chord changes. Full Measure Pad Full Measure Pad With Snare Release 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a X X A punch is a chordal rhythm with a short duration. Punches generally are at the same time as snare attacks, but they can also happen at the same time as the kick. Punches can also have no link to the drum beat and, by doing so, add more overall rhythmic interest to a song. A guitar playing with the snare on beats two and four is a classic example of a punch. One instrument can play both pads and punches or the roles can be shared between more than one instrument. Backbeat Punches Pads and Punches 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a X X X X X Ostinato An ostinato is a one to two measure repeated rhythmic figure that is usually quieter in the mix.

  • The Orchestra Rocks with Ostinato Focal Work: Steve Reich's Clapping
    UNIT The Orchestra Rocks with Ostinato 01 Focal Work: Steve Reich’s Clapping Music AIM: How can we rock with an ostinato? MATERIALS: LinkUP! student guide; LinkUP! CD; CD player; pencils; chart paper STANDARDS: US 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9; NYC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 SUMMARY: Students explore rhythm—a basic element of music—­­through clapping. One of the simplest ways to feel the rhythmic groove and “rock out” is by clapping along to the music, which we will do in the classroom and in many ways during the concert. Students also create ostinatos and perform simultaneous rhythms. VOCABULARY: Ostinato: a short pattern of sounds that repeats over and over again Rhythm: a combination of sounds and/or silences Simultaneous/Simultaneity: when two different things are happening at once Synchronization: when two parts begin together, continue together, and/or end together Tempo: the speed of music Unison: when more than one person plays or sings the same musical line at once See Appendix B on page 86 for composer information. Activity 1: Investigating Clapping • Lead students in brainstorming a class definition ofmusic . Ask students: o How is music different than noise? o Can clapping be music? o What are some musical traditions that include clapping? o What role does clapping play in different cultures? When do we clap? • Responses may include applause, as a way to get someone’s attention, or in response to something funny. Some other cultures do these things in ways other than clapping, like snapping, foot stomping, or for other uses.

  • Repeated Musical Patterns
    SECONDARY/KEY STAGE 3 MUSIC – HOOKS AND RIFFS 5 M I N UTES READING Repeated Musical Patterns 5 MINUTES READING #1 Repetition is important in music where sounds or sequences are often “Essentially my repeated. While repetition plays a role in all music, it is especially prominent contribution was to in specific styles. introduce repetition into Western music “Repetition is part and parcel of symmetry. You may find a short melody or a as the main short rhythm that you like and you repeat it through the course of a melody or ingredient without song. This sort of repetition helps to unify your melody and serves as an any melody over it, identifying factor for listeners. However, too much of a good thing can get without anything just patterns, annoying. If you repeat a melody or rhythm too often, it will start to bore the musical patterns.” listener”. (Miller, 2005) - Terry Riley “Music is based on repetition...Music works because we remember the sounds we have just heard and relate them to ones that are just now being played. Repetition, when done skillfully by a master composer, is emotionally satisfying to our brains, and makes the listening experience as pleasurable as it is”. (Levitin, 2007) During the Eighteenth Century, musical concerts were high-profile events and because someone who liked a piece of music could not listen to it again, musicians and composers had to think of a way to make the music ‘sink in’.
