PERFORMING: 4.2
RESPONDING: 7.1, 9.1
Ques#1:
I heard DOE has a new term for this?
Can someone write the learning objectives of this section, relate the standards.
Melody: A melody is what you usually sing from a song. It's the main tune.
Q: Do Re Mi is from the movie, the Sound of Music. Can you sing the song with the video?
Ques #3:
Are these steps ok? Is there anything we use add?
Q: Do you recognize the melody of this song?
Ques #2:
Are these steps ok? Is there anything we should add?
From do to do', this is a major scale. When a song ends on do, which is also called the tonic, the song is in a major scale.
Scale: It's the collection of notes that are used in a song, arranged in order from the lowest to the highest note. It's kind of like the alphabet for music: you learn the alphabet by learning in order from A to Z. For music, we normally start with note C, then, D, E, F, G. From G, we continue to A, and B. There is not note H in music. When you read a book, the author will use those same letters to form words, sentences, and paragraphs by using them in different order and repeating any letter as many times as she wants. Same as music, after notes A and B, we will start with C again.
In music, there are different types of scales that are used. Two very common ones are Major and Minor scales (below are some examples, show and explain some - train their ears).
Ques #3:
Are these steps ok? Is there anything we should add?
Now let's listen to a song in a major scale but have only four notes. Do you recognize it?
Note: From here, teachers may teach C as do, and notate Mary Had a Little Lamb on the staff. Introduce Form: phrases. (Pre-requisites: Teach staff, lines and spaces).
Ques #4:
Are these steps ok? Is there anything we should add?
Ques #5:
Are these steps ok? Is there anything we should add?
Now, listen to this Jazz version of Mary had a little lamb, try to identify the four phrase in this song by showing your fingers. You will many "extra" notes, these are embellishing notes that make the piece sounds more attractive.
Ques #6:
Are these steps ok? Is there question we should add?
Ques #7:
Katherine, I think you said you can do Samoan Sasa, can you make a video, and write down the steps of doing it?
And, also using this activity to teach ta titi
Kaeru no utaga (Quarter rest, round)
Ques #8:
Can someone write down the steps teaching ta, titi, Z with this song; or you can use any other song?
Ques #9:
Can someone provide a paragraph or two introducing these families?
I still need to add the trombone video, and I have one flute video to add.
Note to general music teachers who have Orff instruments, you may use the below pieces from Music for Children, Book I to practice do-re-mi-so, canon, and rhythms.

Kevin,
Pictures added.
Yes, it is meant to be used at the beginning of the semester. That's why I am sharing it now. Last semester, I had the inspiration to do it during the middle of the semester.

Janice,
Done. I will add the names later.

Goal #1 works well at the beginning of the school year compared to when I used these lessons in Quarter 3 and 4 of last year. I agree with Janice, could put pictures or information explaining what the instrumental section is for? The links can be easily missed.
Janice (Friday, 20 August 2021 14:48)
It's easy to scan right over the instrument section. Can we put pictures as the links? Like the ones one the instrument page?

Haha, sorry, I copied and pasted from Dr. Itoh's notes.
As for trombone, thanks for noticing it. I will check with Joey.

- In First under the Scale heading, you refer to it as O Say Can you See, maybe refer to it as Star Spangled Banner
- In the instrument families videos the trombone one seems to be cut off, unless you purposely edited it that way.
