pedag-audio

Dr. Johns- Just so you know, I know what I’m doing. Reading this now may very well take away from the experience you would have participating in the activity for the first time. For instance- anyplace you are asked to construct knowledge during the activity, you will have already read the answers. I’m providing this rough draft unwillingly. My recommendation: Peek, crumple, recycle. I offer no further explanation.

Attention Grabber :: wash basin, ball plop, glass clink, boom!

Engage
“What instruments are these?”
piano
percussion
guitar
clapping
“What song is this?”
happy birthday
twinkle twinkle little star
row your boat
abc’s
Advanced Challenge- recalling songs with just a few notes (using interval recognition- to be used now and covered later)
“Please take a moment to get down.”

Explore *
*
* “It’s fun to tune into music”
*
* Clap
*
* Vocalize
“You can call me the big toe tapper.”

Explain/Elaborate

Wavelength
compression, rarefaction, accordion example (drawing activity)
Amplitude
volume (volume activity)
Frequency
cycles, hertz, human span (4x5 activity, recognition, drawing activity, hearing test.)
Pitch
perception of frequency, musical notes (do re mi, triple pitch, intervals activity, 2:1 ratio)
Timbre
sine wave/pure tone, complex waveform (different instruments exercise)
Envelope
attack, sustain, decay, release (noise guess, dOoo. experiment)
Velocity
speed of sound, frequency recall (super fun surprise!)

Evaluate
TBD
