Paper copy of Technology: Everything is included Slide 1 We will learn about music symbols. I will identify music symbols in a song. Essential Question: What music symbols did you learn about today? Draw them Slide 2 Slide 3 Slide Three: Movie Time Signature and Note Values Movie Transcript Time Signatures and Note Values Movie title reads, "Time Signature and Note Values, with Annie and Moby" A young girl, Annie, starts to play a song on the piano in her music classroom at school. Her robot friend, Moby, listens. ANNIE: I'm going to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" at the school's talent show. Annie plays the first line of the song on the piano. The sheet music is shown. ANNIE: Music can be written out in special symbols called musical notes. The notes on the sheet music are highlighted. The space or line where a musical note is on the staff tells you what pitch to play on an instrument. Arrows point to the lines and spaces on the sheet music. The sheet music appears above the keyboard as Annie plays. The first four notes are highlighted as she plays them. ANNIE: Most music has a beat, and you can clap along to a song to help you feel the beat. ANNIE: The time signature tells you about the beat of a piece of music. ANNIE: What is a time signature? A piece of music is divided into sections called measures.The sheet music for "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" is shown. The measures are highlighted. The measures are divided by bar lines. The bar lines in the sheet music are highlighted. In the time signature, the top number tells you how many beats are in one measure.The top number in the time signature is highlighted. In four-four, there are four beats per measure. Four notes appear on the sheet music. Each note is numbered from 1 to 4. These numbers are the beats per measure. ANNIE: That means you count to four as you play each measure. ANNIE: One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four." Annie is counting the beats per measure as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" is played on the piano. As she counts, the sheet music shows the beats per measure below each note. ANNIE: The bottom number of the time signature tells you which type of note equals the beat. In four-four, the quarter note gets the beat. In the first measure of the sheet music, the bottom number in the time signature is highlighted. ANNIE: What are note values? Different kinds of musical notes tell you how many beats to hold a pitch. ANNIE: This is called note value. The time signature of this song is four-four, which means there are four beats per measure. The first measure of the song is shown. The time signature is highlighted. There are four quarter notes. The number under each note shows the beats per measure. This is a quarter note. In four-four, the quarter note equals one beat. A quarter note is shown with the number 1 below it. ANNIE: There are four quarters in one dollar. Four quarters are shown, beneath a dollar bill. Each quarter is shaded a different color. The dollar bill is shaded in four equal parts to match the colors of the quarters. ANNIE: Four quarter notes fit in a measure in four-four time signature. The four quarters turn into quarter notes. The beats per measure numbers appear under them. As each of the four notes is played, the beats are clapped out. ANNIE: This is a half note. A half note equals two beats. A half note is shown with the numbers 1 and 2 under it. In a four-four time signature, two half notes fit in a measure. The two half notes appear in the measure. The beats per measure numbers appear under the notes. The numbers 1 and 2 are the beats for the first half note, and 3 and 4 are the beats for the second half note. The notes, and the beats per measure numbers, are highlighted as the notes are played and the beats are clapped out. ANNIE: This is a whole note. You hold it out for four beats, so only one whole note fits in a measure. Since there are four beats per measure in this time signature, you hold a whole note for the full measure. A whole note is shown. The time signature is shown to the left of it. The top "4" on the time signature is highlighted. The beats per measure number 4 appears below it. The note, and the beats per measure numbers, are highlighted as the note is played and the 4 beats are clapped out. ANNIE: When you read music, you read the pitch and the note value to play a song. The sheet music for "The French Song" is shown. The notes are highlighted as Annie plays the song. The notes, and the beats per measure numbers, are highlighted as the notes are played. ANNIE: Thanks, Moby. In a four-four time signature, the quarter note equals the beat. Two quarter notes equal one half note. Two half notes equal one whole note. That means one whole note is equal to four quarter notes. A measure of music in four-four is shown. The different notes, and the beats per measure numbers, are shown as Annie describes each note value. ANNIE: I like to make a chart to help me remember the note values. A chart shows whole, half, and quarter notes. The whole number is on top. Two lines connect the whole note to the half notes. Four lines connect the two half notes to the quarter notes. ANNIE: There are different signatures and they help give songs a different feel. ANNIE: This song is in three-four. The sheet music for "Folias de España" is shown. Annie points to its time signature. ANNIE: It means there are three beats per measure, and the quarter note equals the beat. The first measure of the song is shown with the beats per measure numbers under the notes. The time signature's top number, 3, and bottom number, 4, are highlighted as Annie describes what they mean. Listen to the song and pay attention to how it feels. The sheet music is shown and the notes are highlighted as she plays them. After Annie plays the first two lines, Moby dances by, shaking maracas. ANNIE: I better practice more for the talent show. You know what they say, "Practice makes perfect." Watch the Video or read the script before doing the written work.
