Can you guess what type of instrument this is? • World instruments we have: what types of instruments are they? • With a partner, take out your world instruments and any other instruments you may have brought and discuss which type of instrument you think it is based on how it produces a sound. • Share out whole group • Musical instrument classification – Create World Instruments Tree Map with pictures
Important Vocabulary • COMPOSITION (Compose) – creating original music by organizing sound. • IMPROVISATION (Improvise) – spontaneous (spur-of-the-moment) creation of music • PATTERN – repeated parts in music • RHYTHM – the combination of long and short, even or uneven sounds that convey a sense of movement in time.
Reviewing Note Values • For today, there are 4 beats/counts in a measure (time signature is 4/4). • How many of each note would fit in a measure? (See Notes Charts) • Why do you think each note has the name that it does? (connect to fractions) • What happens when we try to fit more notes into a measure? • These can all be mixed up to create a rhythm in a piece of music.
Reviewing Rest Values • For today, there are 4 beats/counts in a measure (time signature is 4/4). • How many of each rest would fit in a measure? (See Rests Chart) • Why do you think each rest has the name that it does? (connect to fractions) • What happens when we try to fit more rests into a measure? • These can also all be mixed up with notes to create a rhythm in a piece of music.
Practice Reading Notes and Rests • Let’s practice some patterns whole-group by clapping out the rhythm patterns. • Get into groups of 3-4. The teacher will assign you a few rhythm cards to try. Work in a group to clap out the patterns. • Volunteers clap out a pattern for the group. • Practice a few rhythm cards with musical instruments.
Let’s Make Some Music! • Improvise! With a partner, create some rhythmic patterns with an instrument of your choice. • Compose! Now, write down two patterns you and your partner improvised. • Use the notes and rests values packet to help you!
Summative Assessment • Using one or two instruments from the world instrument families, compose 4 measuresof a rhythmic pattern. • Student partners will each provide a copy of the composition and fill out the prompts on the Rhythmic Composition Information Sheet. • Partners will perform their original compositions in front of the class.
