Goals:
- Review/more practice, and bring back to real music
- ID and spell complicated intervals above and below given notes
- students explain how to construct intervals above and below a given note
- ID intervals in real pieces and discuss: what are common harmonic intervals between two voices, and what are the common melodic intervals, and how do larger leaps happen in common practice music?
Lesson Plan
- Key sig quiz (link W5 Monday)
- If there’s anything from Wednesday that you did not get done, start there.
- Go over homework
- Particularly, practice spelling and ID of intervals from white key intervals
- do interval bingo from the LVH Rutledge Games to mix it up a bit, so that you’re drilling and practicing in a more fun way
- Interval Jeopardy
- “Compose” a duet given one melody and intervals above it (prep for counterpoint and figured bass)
- As there is time, get them thinking about intervals in real music (you can use these examples if you want), which is counterpoint. Analyze pieces and look for commonalities/stylistic norms
- As you are ID-ing quality, watch key signature. :-)
- what are common harmonic intervals between two voices (mostly imperfect consonances--define both of those words)
- what are the common melodic intervals (mostly seconds and 3rds)
- How do larger leaps happen in common-practice music? (filled in by step in opposite direction)
- FYI, this is prepping for Monday’s analyzing and composing melodies
