THE C SCALE

In music, a scale is an ascending or descending series of notes or pitches from a starting note. The order is determined by the type of scale (major, minor, etc.).


Today you played the C scale using the notes of the G clef staff. Review the notes of the G clef staff at http://www.musictechteacher.com/quiz_help_treble_clef.htm.

Listen to the treble clef notes and the line and space notes. Copy the line and space notes, and the note names on your manuscript paper. I'll check it tomorrow in class.

In the comments section write, "I completed the assignment. Your name." Click "post comment".

MUSIC THEORY HOMEWORK

We have been learning how rhythm and melody are two very important elements of music. To understand the language of music, we must learn how to read rhythm and melody together. Today we practiced drawing the G Clef (also called the Treble Clef), and the notes of the G Clef Staff.

Complete the assignments below. Exercise #1 will help to reinforce your ability to identify the notes of the G Clef Staff. Exercise #2 will strengthen your understanding of basic rhythmic values, and may sharpen your math skills too. Shoot for 95% or higher in each exercise. Use your rhythm chart.

When you complete the exercises, click on "comment" below. In the white window write the following statement:

"I have completed both exercises. I achieved 95% or higher, and am ready for the next challenge. " Then write your first and last name, and period you have music. Click on "post comment" This will send a message to me that you completed the assignment.
