Lesson Plan: Monday, November 27, 2006 Concert Band 3rd Period Grantham Academy of Engineering
Instructional Strategies to be Used: • Performance Based-Evaluation • Ensemble, sections or individuals play with instant feedback and/or correction from the themselves, their peers, and instructor to correct or enhance what they are currently doing in a piece of music. • Group/ Peer Tutoring • Sections and individuals help other students in their section with any particular aspect of the music to help make the pace of rehearsal and instruction at a pace that is keeping all 52 members active and engaged.
Music TEKS Alignment To Standards • 7.1A Demonstrate characteristic vocal or instrumental timbre individually and in groups • 7.1B Describe intervals, music notation, musical instruments or voices, and musical performances, using standard terminology • 7.1C Identify music forms presented aurally and through music notation • 7.2A Perform independently with accurate intonation and rhythm, demonstrating fundamental skills and basic performance techniques • 7.2C Demonstrate appropriate small- and large-ensemble performance techniques during formal and informal concerts • 7.3A Sight-read music in treble and/or other clefs in various keys and meters • 7.3B Notate meter, rhythm, pitch, and dynamics using standard symbols (manuscript or computer-generated) • 7.3C Interpret music symbols and terms referring to dynamics, tempo, and articulation when performing • 7.5A Classify aurally-presented music representative of diverse genres, styles, periods, and cultures • 7.5C Perform music representative of diverse cultures, including American and Texas heritage • 7.6A Design and apply criteria for evaluating the quality and effectiveness of music and musical performances • 7.6C Exhibit concert etiquette during live performances in a variety of settings
Classroom Activity • Warm-Ups: (Selected from but not limited to use everyday) • Remington: Foundations for Superior Performance pg. 4 no. 1A and 1C • Lip Slurs: Foundations for Superior Performance pg. 6 & 7 options 1,2, and 3 • Breathing exercises: Standing up using correct breathing techniques, sealing mouth around plastic tube and controlling volume and steadiness of air within a given time frame based upon the metronome ( usually 70-80 bpm.) • Concert F around the room: Intense listening exercises that starts with bass (Tuba) and finishes with flutes (highest melodic instrument) • Concert B-flat scale breathing exercise: add one note till you play an octave and try to play the entire set of sequences on one breath • Concert Bb, Eb, Ab, F, G and Db Scales: improves student ability to play pieces with exceedingly more complex key signatures • Articulation exercises: play any given rhythmic pattern or Concert Scale and practice quarter note, eighth note, and sixteenth note articulations using staccato, legato, marcato, etc. styles
Classroom Activity (continued) • Holiday Cheer!: • Start off with measure 13 -20; and 1-12 to see if each melodic counter-melodic phrase is remembered from before the break. • Trumpets and flutes have same melodic theme • Clarinets, A. Sax, and horn have same counter-melodic theme • Bass Clarinet and all low brass have bass line • Checking constantly for the following: • Characteristic tones • Rhythmic accuracy and matching articulation (matching note lengths and releases) • Proper breathing spots and phrasing (did the ensemble start and stop together?) • Correct interpretation of key signature • Balance and Blend between individual and group instruments
Classroom Activity (continued) • Knights of Dunvegan: • Sight-read measures 1-10 and 43-57 if possible. • Have students run through basic UIL sight-reading procedure: • Students glance 5-10 seconds at the new music and then turn it over so not to see it yet. Ask individual students the following question: • What is the Time Signature(s) of the piece? • What is the Key Signatrure(s) of the piece? • What accidentals did you see for your part and for your section? • Any like rhythmic or duplicate rhythmic patterns in the piece? • Based on the note values at the beginning; who has the melody? • What is your starting dynamic for the piece? (How loud or soft you play)
Materials Used in Class • Breathing Tubes • Metronome • Tuner • Foundations For Superior Performance: Warm-Ups & Techniques for Band • Musical Pieces: • “Holiday Cheer!” • “Knights of Dunvegan” (UIL Grade II) • Student Horns and accessories: • 3-4 Reeds (A.Sax and Clarinet) • Valve oil and Slide Grease (All Brass) • All music and warm-ups assigned in sheet music • Working pencil (not pen)
