Week Two
Hi – Year 10, it was so lovely to see you all in class the other day. Fingers crossed that we will be back to full time very soon. We began our topic in class the other day which is Popular Music from 1960’s (AQA GCSE Music) All the slides from the lesson are available to you on Google Classroom for you to access and rewatch. We will complete this first piece of work in lesson on Tuesday. I have also set some homework for you to memorise the Italian Terms for Tempo and Dynamics and I will test how well you have learned these in the next lesson.
In addition to the work in class I would like you to supplement class learning with the work outlined below so that we stay on track with subject content.
- Please continue to play / perform on your instrument (including voice) This can be individually or in a group – practice at home to develop your musical skills is an important part of the music curriculum.
- Please complete the online learning on chords available on the following links
https://www.musictheory.net/lessons/40 -4 types of chords
https://www.musictheory.net/lessons/42 - triad inversion
https://www.musictheory.net/lessons/42 - 7th Chords
Please choose the best starting point for your ability and experience, you may already know about basic triads so go onto the next link if so. If you are struggling with the basics of notation, then it would be better for you to try to develop your understanding of this first – please follow the links below to help you.
