LEARNING HOW TO READ MUSIC PART 4

WARM UP EXERCISE We are starting to learn even more symbols that are needed to compose music. The next few slides include a multiple-choice memory game to see what you can remember over the last two weeks.

NOTE VALUES The musical notes C, D, E, F and G can be written in different ways to show HOW LONG to play the note for. A SEMIBREVE is held for 4 seconds. A MINIM is held for 2 seconds. A CROTCHET is held for 1 second. This then continues into: A QUAVER being held for ½ of a second. A SEMI-QUAVER being held for ¼ of a second.

INDEPENDENT WORK 1/3 This is the first sheet I would like you to complete. This is to help start recognising how long a note should be played when it is written in a certain way. There is a tutorial on the next slide.

TUTORIAL For the first part of the sheet. They have given you examples of the note values we have just looked at for you to practice writing out. For the second part of the sheet, you need to identify the number of beats/counts that the note represents.

INDEPENDENT WORK 2/3 This is the second sheet I would like you to complete. Use the colours indicated in the key (circled in red) to colour in the boy and girls balloons. Then answer the questions below. HINT: You may need to add up the total number of balloons each child has to help you!

TIME SIGNATURES A time signature tells you how the music is to be counted. It is written at the beginning of the staff after the clef and key signature. Time signatures consist of two numbers written like a fraction. The top number of the time signature tells you how many beats to count. The bottom number tells you the note value, for example in 4/4 the, the 4 represents a crotchet beat.

INDEPENDENT WORK 3/3 This is the final sheet I would like you to complete. Use the TABLE ABOVE to help you! Three space ships need to find spaces to land. Using a ruler, you will need to connect them to the places where they can land. There is a tutorial on the next slide.

TUTORIAL 3 There are different combinations of notes that add up to the time signature of the space ships. The example I have shown in red. 2 minims is the same as 2 + 2. For the next one, I know that 2 crotchets is the same as 1 + 1. That means it needs to match with the space ship that reads 2/4. I have marked this in green.
