| Class 7 | Tuesday, January 30 |
In this session we will be aggressive and learn two different topics, and we'll assign two different worksheets for homework. I think we can do it!
- We'll get serious about our key signatures and the circle of fifths.
- We'll talk about "the dot" and how it affects rhythmic counting.
This introduces homeworks #5 and #6 which are due in a week. I'll blog all active homeworks below:
Homework #3: Piano Notes, Whole Steps, and Half Steps
This worksheet quizzes you about the notes on the piano, and it asks you to count out two small distances (half steps vs. whole steps).
Due date is Fri, Jan 26 Tues, Jan 30.
Homework #4: Major Scales (w/ the WWHWWWH Method)
Worksheet #4 asks you to spell a bunch of major scales in several different ways (by drawing on a piano, just writing the letters, or notating it on the staff.) The WWHWWWH method is covered on pp. 26-27 of our theory text.
Due date for this one is Tues, Jan 30.
Homework #5: Key Signatures and the Circle of Fifths
Worksheet Numero Cinco asks you to draw some key signatures and get familiar with the circle of fifths. This is covered in chapter 9 of our theory text. Honestly you can copy most of the answers straight out of the textbook, but I'd recommend playing some kind of memory game with it instead (like write your answer, then check the text.)
This one is due Tues, Feb 6.
Worksheet #6: The Dot
Worksheet #6: The Dot is all about the little dot that we add to some notes to modify their rhythmic value. This is covered in Chapter 7 of our theory text.
This one will ALSO be due on Tues, Feb 6, because we gotta motor and get things done.
