2 RELATED LASALLIAN GUIDING PRINCIPLES Challenge pupils to realize their potential in music-making by letting them independently perform their own composition using rhythmic and/or melodic instruments. Bring La Sallian value of respect in working collaboratively with group members and watching performers with proper audience etiquette. Encourage independence and, at the same time cooperation among pupils by providing the pupils venue for self-expression through composition and performance with gradual release of responsibility. Ensure that the pupils translate knowledge into something useful in actual practice for the betterment of society and the church by performing their composition for entertainment and education of other people. Prepare pupils to cooperate and participate with respect in the world of culture and art, family, community, nation and Church by producing quality performance for their performance task with awareness of the standards of the musical performance practices CONTENT RHYTHM: MUSICAL SYMBOLS AND CONCEPTS A. Notes and Rests: Quarter, Eighth, Half, Whole, Sixteenth, Rhythmic Phrase B. Meter: Accented and unaccented beats; Duple, Triple, Quadruple Meter MELODY: MUSICAL SYMBOLS AND CONCEPTS C. C Major Scale: Kodaly Hand Signs, Recorder Playing, Pitch names on the G-clef staff, Melodic Phrase EXPRESSIVE ELEMENTS; MUSICAL SYMBOLS AND CONCEPTS D. Dynamics: Piano and Forte E. Tempo: Allegro, Moderato and Andante 2 Page

3 BLENDED TOOLS Face-to-Face Singing alone and with others Conducting Playing instruments Listening Echo clapping/singing Performing alone and with others Note-writing (composition) elearning Use of apps: Singing Fingers Virtuoso Piano Chalkboard Music Drawing Notation Percussive Free Playpad STAGE 1: ESTABLISHING DESIRED RESULTS TRANSFER GOAL(S): Student will independently use their learning to perform recorder pieces in C Major Scale. BIG IDEA/ENDURING UNDERSTANDING (EU): OVERARCHING EU: Students will understand that musicians have specific terms for symbols in music. They use these symbols to read, write and interpret music in various ways. TOPIC EU: Students will understand that... - (rhythm) Notes and rests have different value and affect the movement and structure of music. - (beat) Consistency in following steady beats creates order and clarity in music - (melody) Music can be conveyed through melody. It is a language on which we read and write. Melodies are built on patterns called scales. - (dynamics) Volume in music change abruptly or gradually - (tempo) Variations in speed of music make the mood of music enjoyable and exciting. 3 Page

4 ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S): OVERARCHING EQ: How will it help me if I know how to interpret musical symbols? TOPIC EQ: - (rhythm) What is the value of learning the musical symbols specially the notes and rests? - (beat) Why do we need to maintain steady beat in music? - (melody) How can one say that music is a form of language? What will happen if we do not know about musical scales? - (dynamics) Why do we need to follow the dynamic markings in the piece? - (tempo) How does change in volume of music affect the listeners and the performers? COMPETENCIES Rhythm: 1. Visually and aurally identify the kinds of notes in a song (quarter, eighth, half, sixteenth, half, whole) 2. Accurately identify the duration of notes and rests 3. Crete different rhythmic patterns using notes and rests of different time signatures (2/4, 3/4, 4/4) 4. Perform with a conductor Melody: 1. Identify through reading and writing the pitch name of each line and space of the G-clef staff. 2. Identify through ready and writing the pitch names of notes on the ledger lines and spaces below the G-clef staff (middle C and D) 3. Demonstrate knowledge of the C Major Scale in writing and performance. 4. Perform his/her own created simple melody Dynamics: 1. Identify and apply the following dynamics to musical selections: piano and forte Tempo: 1. Identify and apply the following tempi: Allegro, Moderato, Andante 4 Page
