IDEAS AND APPLICATIONS:
PITCH AND MELODIC FOCUS
- Place in any position on staff to indicate key center and starting tones.
- Highlight tone set (all steps that are included in any given melody) by layering a yellow Disc-Note behind each letter or number in set.
- Use Mini Overlays on overhead projector to guide students to each successive tone as melody is sung or played.
- Hold up large overlays and guide chorus or instrumentalists with a baton, large mallet, etc. Touch each step in the melody as it is sung or performed by the students.
- For choral warm-ups, have the students sing on neutral syllables and along with pitch organizing tools. Students can also ‘translate’ the tools being presented. For example: they can sing sol-fa while numbers are displayed or sing letter names while sol-fa is displayed.
MUSIC WRITING AND DICTATION
- Use the Numeral Overlays to check intervals in both positions. Sing intervals while placing Disc-Notes on staff.
