G2-5 Music 10 - 18 May 2010

This week's lesson is about intervals, the distance between two musical notes. The questions will ask you: what is the interval between A and D. All you have to do, is to count; A, B, C, D, E. The interval between A and D is 5.

Remember, we only use the first 7 letters of the alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. When we move on to the next note, we repeat A, B, C, D, E, F, G. The names may be the same but we can always tell the difference between one A and the other A depending on where it is placed on the musical staff.

Have a go and have fun. Next week, you will be quized on the Fling the Teacher musical notation and Intervals.

Click on the link to Fling the teacher. You can play on your own, or you can play with your brothers or sisters, or even parents.

Make sure you revise the note values: whole note = 4 beats; 1/2 note = 2 beats; 1/4 note = 1 beat and 1/8th note = 1/2 beat.

Make sure you remember what a dotted note means. (A dot next to a musical note adds half the value onto the note it is next to!)

Have fun and be prepared for the quiz next week.
