LESSON PLAN

LESSON PLANSubject: Music

Class: year 11UnitTopic

Achievement Objective(s)

PK: Apply knowledge of the elements of music, structural devices, stylistic conventions, and technologies through integrating aural, practical, and theoretical skills.

Learning Outcome(s) and/or Learning IntentionsStudents will become confident with recognising key signatures and will understand how to write the scale for both major and minor

Assessment and/or Success CriteriaStudents will be able to write both a major and a minor scales

Key Competency FocusParticipating and contributing: Students will participate and contribute in class questions

Using language, symbols and text: Students will use musical symbols in order to write scales and key signatures

Thinking: Students will think carefully about how to create scales using musical conventions

Student Learning ActivitiesTeacher Activities

Starter

Students remembering rule for working out key signaturesStudents observing scale demonstration

Students viewing piano image and stating the relative minor keys

Students answering questions

Students completing work sheet.

Do nowRevision on keys, looking at major and minor scales.

A major key signature written up: F C G sharp.

Who can remember the rule to work out the key signature when we are dealing with shapes?

-Go up one letter name from second last sharp.

Explain how you would write out a major scale. Every major key signature has a relative minor.This means that the key signature is the same, but we start our scale on a different note.

Use image of key board : To find the relative minor we always go down three semi tones.

- Relative minor of A major is F# minorTeacher to demonstrate how to write up new minor scale on board .Using piano image to help students: Teacher to ask

Relative minor of C major?

Relative minor of E major?

Relative minor of E flat major?

To find the relative major or a minor key, we just count back up three semi tones So what would be the relative major of G minor?? (go up three semi tones) - B flat majorActivity- work sheetWrite the relative minor scale of D major ( B minor)Write the relative minor scale of G major( E minor)Write the relative major scale of C# minor( E major)
