GENERAL MUSIC

01. KEYBOARD WORKSHEETS
........a. DRAWING A KEYBOARD and ADDING IN THE MUSICAL ALPHABET LETTERS (turned in)
02. KEYBOARD REVIEW
........a. PATTERNS OF BLACK and WHITE KEYS
.............1) BLACK KEYS (PENTATONIC SCALES) PATTERNS OF 3 and 2 (5 BLACK KEYS)
.............2) WHITE KEYS (DIATONIC SCALE) PATTERNS OF 7 (adding an 8th key makes a scale and octave higher)
.............3) WHITE and BLACK KEYS COMBINED (CHROMATIC SCALE) ALL THE SOUND COLORS
........b. APPLYING THE MUSICAL ALPHABET TO THE WHITE KEYS OF THE KEYBOARD
..............1) DISCUSSION ON HOW THE KEYBOARD PRODUCES HIGH and LOW SOUNDS
....................a) HIGHER NOTES MOVE TO THE RIGHT (UP THE MUSICAL ALPHABET)
....................b) LOWER NOTES MOVE TO THE LEFT (BACKWARDS or DOWN THE MUSICAL ALPHABET)
........c. FINDING "D" ON THE KEYBOARD BY FIRST LOCATING BLACK KEYS IN PATTERNS OF 2 WITH THE WHITE KEY IN BETWEEN BEING THE LETTER "D"
..............1) BY LOCATING "D" and KNOWING THAT THE KEYBOARD GOES HIGHER TO THE RIGHT (UP THE MUSICAL ALPHABET) and LOWER TO THE LEFT (BACKWARDS DOWN THE MUSICAL ALPHABET) STUDENTS CAN DETERMINE THE LETTER NAMES OF ALL THE OTHER WHITE KEY NOTES ON THE KEYBOARD
...............2) EACH STUDENT IS ASKED TO LOCATE "D" ON THE KEYBOARD
...............3) PLAYING "B A G" SONGS ON THE KEYBOARD
.....................a) STUDENTS FIND NOTES "B A G" and TRY TO PLAY SONGS BY READING THE LETTER
NOTE NAMES
.................... b) DEMONSTRATION ON WHY USING ONLY ONE FINGER IS NOT PRACTICAL TO PERFORM THIS
.....................c) DISCUSSION OF PREPARING THE FINGERS NEEDED TO PLAY THIS BY PLACING THE FINGERS DOWN LIGHTLY OVER THE KEYS IN ADVANCE AND THEN MOVING THE
FINGERS AS WRITTEN DOWN ON THE PAGE WITHOUT USING THE EYES TO LOOK AT THE FINGERS (EYES KEPT ON READING THE NOTES and FINGERS DEPRESS THE KEYS BY USING SENSE OF TOUCH)
