Worksheets to practice your skills

How did you get on with the tapping exercises?( tick the appropriate box and remember practice makes perfect)

I was a legend - kept time with only a few slips right up to the challenging level

I rock and had a go at all of the tap along videos with some success

I was courageous and had a go at them all with variable levels of success

Tried a few, got the easy ones right - whoop!

I am like Tenacious D and will keep trying but found these a challenge

I was feeling lazy so only tried one but did it!

I clearly am going to need to practice these regularly until I get it right !

Write the number of beats next to the rhythms, the work out the sum of each equation.

TONES AND SEMI TONES WORKSHEET 1Task 1 – Memorise this verse

“A TONE always skips a notewith ONE note in between,

A SEMI TONE jumps from note to note

with NO note in between”

Task 2 – Describe these intervals using “T” for Tone and “S” for semitone as per the example.

Task 3 – Memorise these sharp, flat and natural symbols and what they do.

Task 4 – In the squares below, write the TWO names for each of the black keys.

TONES AND SEMI TONES WORKSHEET 2

Task 6 – Can you notate these on the staff below?(Don’t forget your clef!)

Task 5 – Following the example, have a go at adding double accidentals on the keyboard below.

Major and Minor keys and scalesMemorise the MAJOR SCALE pattern: Tone – Tone – Semitone – Tone – Tone – Tone – Semitone

Tone Tone Semitone Tone Tone Tone SemitoneT T S T T T S

MAJOR SCALE T T S T T T S

TASK 1Apply the pattern TTSTTTS to work out the notes of the major scales by filling in the chart below. Use the keyboard to work out the tones/semitones intervals (gaps) between the notes. I have completed C, G and F to help you

MAJOR SCALE1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Memorise the MINOR SCALE pattern: Tone – Semitone – Tone – Tone – Semitone – Tone – Tone

Tone Semitone Tone Tone Semitone Tone ToneT S T T S T T

MINOR SCALE T S T T S T T

TASK 2Apply the pattern TSTTSTT to work out the notes of the major scales by filling in the chart below. Use the keyboard to work out the tones/semitones intervals (gaps) between the notes. ONE EXTRA RULE FOR MINORS, WHEN YOU HAVE WORKED OUT THE SCALE GO BACK AND RAISE THE 7TH NOTE BY A SEMI TONE. THIS CREATES THE HARMONIC MINOR SCALE.I have completed C, G and F to help you

Challenge Task

Using manuscript paper, write out any (or all of) the following scales:You many choose the clef/clefs and whether you write them out in ascending/descending form (or both) over one or two octaves. For example:Watch this video for extra tips:

C MajorA Natural Minor

G majorE Melodic MinorE Harmonic Minor

Db MajorDb ‘s relative Harmonic Minor scale

C# MajorC# Melodic minor

IntervalsTask 1: Create a poste or chart that summarises intervalsTask 2: Use your chart and the keyboard to work out these intervals

Remember to check the clef before you start.
