Rhythm game (20 minutes)

End of the lesson (5 minutes)

Can you answer this question?

Melody

Rhythm

High and low notes put behind each other

Long and short notes put behind each other

Difference between melody and rhythm

Melody

High and low tones played after each other.

The hight on the note stave tells us how high the note is. The higher it is written, the higher the tone is. 

Rhythm

Long and short notes played after each other. 

The look or appearance of a note tells us how long or short we should play a note. A note can be black, transparant, with or without a stick. 

Rhythm: long and short notes

Remember Ici? We also played long and short notes. We had learned that the short notes were black and the long notes were transparant. 

Rhythm: long and short notes

But how long does a note last exactly? How do you know how long or how short a note should be played?

We count the beats of the note. 

Example:

                 A black note with a stick lasts 1 beat

                 The rhythm name of this note is a quarter note                

                 So, we say: A quarter note lasts 1 beat            

Rhythm: long and short notes

Remember Ici with the long and short notes?

The black ones are quarter notes and last 1 beat.

The trasparant ones are longer, they last 2 beats.

       

                  Quarter note

                  1 beat

                  Half note

                  2 beats

Rhythm: measures

To organise all these beats, we write notes in blocks of (usually) four beats.

These blocks are called measures.

You can also have 3 beats in a measure or 6 or even 12! 

But we well mostly be working with 4 beats per measure.

       

                  Quarter note

                  1 beat

                  Half note

                  2 beats

Game: Which of these rhythms?

Game: which of these rhythms?

In groups of two or three

One person will clap one of the rhythms

The other person is going to guess which rhythm is clapped. 

You are allowed to count out loud (hard op) if you want to. 

Write your own rhythm

In groups of two to three students

Write your own rhythm of two measure of 4 beats. 

Done writing? Clap the rhythm with your group. Make sure you clap at the same time (don't go too fast!)

You will have 10-15 minutes for this exercise. After that, we're going to listen to each other and see if we can write the rhythm down that the other group is clapping.
