Distance Learning Instructions Period 4 – Intro to Music

Week 4 – April 27th – May 1st

If you have questions about your assignments, please look in the previous week’s instructions before reaching out to Mrs. Shanker. Check the Heritage website, the new website, the google drive, ask a friend, THEN email or send a Remind text to Shanker. Try to reduce the number of emails by submitting your work through the google forms on the new website and uploading files to the google drive folder with your name on it. Mrs. Shanker is eternally grateful for your efforts in this!!! CORRECTION FROM WEEK 3

The Listening Log pages with the song titles where you write your opinion about the songs were missing from the Week 3 packet by mistake. Some of you found them in the google drive and you already completed them. Some of you only looked at the Heritage website packet and you missed these pages. I have put them on the HHS website underneath the Week 4 packet link so you can get them and fill them out. When completed, please put them in the WEEK 3 folder in the google drive!!! Music Genres Worksheets & Listening Log Process:

- This week’s genres are o #16 1960s British Rock-and-Roll o #17 1960s Folk Music

- Complete the reading and questions first. o Go to the New Website: www.sites.google.com/view/hhschoir-vocalmusic o Type your answers into the google form on each genre’s page. This is the easiest way

to submit your answers to the worksheet. - Then look at the Listening Log Pages.

o The song title and opinion page is now available as a spread sheet which should make it easier to enter your responses.

o The check box pages are still a pdf but use Preview or Acrobat to type directly on the page. Preview will even check the boxes!

o Write your starting opinion of the genre before you hear the music. o Go to the new website https://sites.google.com/view/hhschoir-vocalmusic o Read about each song by clicking on the “Song #” expanding textbox, and then

listen/watch them. o As you listen, mark the check boxes of what applies to the music. o Write your opinion of each song after you hear it. Your opinion should include

information from the check boxes about what made it good or bad. § The following statements are not acceptable opinion answers:

• I liked it. • It was ok. • I hated it.

§ The following are great opinion answers: • I liked it because it used a soft piano and flute which made it sound like

a lullaby. • I hated it because the brass instruments were loud and angry sounding. • I thought the lyrics were really bizarre and I didn’t know what emotion I

was supposed to feel. • I thought the tempo was too fast. It made me feel anxious.

o Close with your overall opinion on the genre now that you have heard all the songs. o Upload your finished pages into your Week 4 folder in your turn in google drive folder

“P4 – Name”. Name your files appropriately. Notation Unit 3: Lesson 2 – Bass Clef Note Names

- There is an instructional video that is on the new website. It walks you through how the names of the notes are assigned and structured on the bass clef. Please watch it and read through the lesson page and take notes. If you get stuck, please reach out for help.

o Here is the video link if you want to type it: https://youtu.be/Z40fcNNvu0E - You will need to complete the Review page 33 as well as the Acronym page by physically

writing on the page. Then take a picture or scan to turn in and upload them into your personal google drive turn in folder “P2 – Your Name”.

- The Acronym page is your chance to write down acronyms that you make up yourself so you will be more likely to remember them.

o Please remember that you have to start your acronym with the bottom note/letter. So in treble clef lines the bottom line is “E”. The standard acronym is “Every Good Boy Does Fine”. If you already use this or another acronym you can use it on this page.

o If this is new to you, or you want to have fun with it, come up with your own version. BUT, don’t use more than the five words you are allowed. It gets confusing if you add an extra word to make it make sense.

o You don’t need an acronym for the treble spaces because they already form the word “FACE”. If you want to write an acronym, you can, but you won’t lose points for skipping the treble spaces section.

o Some standards and some of my favorites from students are: § Elephants Give Baby Dolphins Flowers (Treble Lines) § Every Good Burger Deserves Fries (Treble Lines) § Empty Garbage Before Dad Flips (Treble Lines) § Every Girl Buys Diamonds Forever (Treble Lines) § Good Burgers Deserve Fresh Avocado (Bass Lines) § Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always (Bass Lines) § All Cows Eat Grass (Bass Spaces) § Always Challenge Evil Ghosts (Bass Spaces)

Turn In Check List: - Create a “Week 4” folder within your turn in google drive folder “P4 – Name” and make sure

your work is sorted into the correct folder so Mrs. Shanker can find it and grade it easily. o Please name your files with the name of the assignment and your name.
