Description
A complete Theory and Listening Topic appropriate for any intermediate to advanced Music course, and especially for music composition in Grades 10-12.
This lesson focuses on Major and Minor Scales, and that includes both the Harmonic Minor (Aeolian #7) and Melodic Minor (Jazz Minor) scales. Students are taken through the topic with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint. 11 x written/ notation tasks develop students’ ability to create major and minor scales using fixed-interval patterns, use these scales to create basic triads, and observe the differences between the harmony in melodic minor scales and harmonic minor scales. There are 10 x listening questions to conclude the lesson, in which students’ ability to distinguish between major and minor scales is tested, and those of higher abilities may distinguish between the harmonic and melodic minor scales. By the end of the lesson students will have a secure knowledge of the topic, and you – the teacher – will have more than enough scope to set additional activities as homework should you wish to.
All of this comes with a 33-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 4-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet and 4-page detailed answers sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player.
I take great pride in my resources, and the time and effort I put into them is immediately clear. I am confident that you will find this topic to be fully and comprehensively resourced in order to meet both your needs and the needs of your students… and it will save you (literally) hours of planning, too. I welcome any questions and feedback, and I can be contacted at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com. Thank you for considering my resources for your classroom.
