Weeks 9 & 10

FINISH, STRENGTHEN, RECAPITULATE

• Continue lessons that have not been finished (e.g. Tempo lesson)
• Pick hands-on extension activities in previous weeks' lesson plans for strengthening of concepts
• Vary Tepuk Amai-Amai with the different elements of music, for pupils to remember this song in a fun way for Term 2 testing
• Have a jamming session of past weeks' favourites
• Creative groupwork: Pick a favourite song of the class (chosen from past weeks' repertoire). Write different game cards using the elements of music that we have learnt (e.g. tempo, dynamics, pitch, timbre, rhythm). Each group will pick a card and perform the song twice, once in its original form, once in its varied form (e.g. a group that chooses 'tempo' might choose to perform the song faster).
• Videos: Visit http://muse-its.blogspot.sg/p/cool-vids.html for cool and inspirational videos involving pitch (first video, featuring Nick Pitera doing a one-man Disney movie with male and female voices), timbre (body percussion and second last video titled 'Cello Timbres') - and more!
• Other ideas that come to mind :)
