Major scale

student fills up their chart, then they will get a reward such as a pizza party or ice cream party. If a student has a really bad day in band and misbehaves or causes distractions, then I will take a sticker off of their chart. Another way that I will promote positive behavior in my band classroom is by having a Wall of Fame. In order for my students to get their name and picture up on the Wall of Fame, they will have to memorize and test their major scales with me. I will have different scale requirements for each grade. The 6th grade students will need to test their C major, F major, Bb major, and Eb major scales to get their picture on the wall. The 7th grade students will also test the same scales as the 6th graders, but the 7th graders will also have to test G major, D major, and Ab major. The 8th graders will test all the same scales as the 6th and 7th grades, but will also have to test A major, E major and Db major. By having the Wall of Fame, I feel that my students will promote the positive behavior of learning and testing their scales. Specific rules in my classroom will include be on time, be prepared with your music and instrument, always have a pencil, treat others as you would like to be treated, no cell phones and no gum. As a first year teacher, I will most likely be entering the music classroom as a weak outsider. Because of this, I feel that it will be easier for me to implement my classroom management philosophy. The students will most likely not be…

For this paper, I listened the RadioLab episode on music language. I chose this one because, being a musician myself, I’ve always been interested in the psychology behind music, specifically why certain sounds can so drastically alter our emotion. After all, they’re all just vibrations. So what is it about some vibrations that make them so much more significant to us than others? This is one of the primary questions addressed in this podcast. In discussing how music affects us emotionally, the…

The measurements of our world strive to quantify the quality of our lives. The scales we use to measure ourselves and how we feel, fail to understand the concept of life itself. The tears of joy felt by a mother; the symphony of silence held by a survivor; the loudness of a murmur spoken as a prayer. Life is a composition, led by a melody, woven piece by piece, tied by our hopes and colored by our sorrows. Like darkness is the absence of light, pain is measured by the absence of happiness.…

practicing. A lot longer if you are playing more infrequently. You may already know that the majority of what you do on a guitar is based on chords and scales. These chords and scales are derived from the musical "language" known as music theory. It is universal across all instruments and is an essential element to master on your way to being a true musician. Even if you are just looking to play as a hobby, you will learn exponentially faster by understanding music theory and how chords and…

surveys come in many formats, with the Likert scale being the most preferred. The Likert scale is a quantitative tool for issuing questionnaires in a survey. It employs the method of rating a participant’s response on a scale rather than just getting a single, straight up response. Likert items are the individual questions that have the answers on a scale. The Likert scale is the…

Likert-type or frequency scales use fixed choice response formats and are designed to measure attitudes or opinions (Bowling, 1997). It is an evidence based survey that uses a 5 or 7 point scale that participants can use to express opinions and the intensity of their opinions. Likert scale survey was generated and 60 surveys were placed in the teachers’ mailboxes with a note explaining the purpose of the needs assessment. In order to receive more responses, the survey was anonymous. This allowed…

Earlier Attempts to Synthetic Scale Formations Since the early twentieth century certain theorists and composers sought to expand the number of available synthetic scales for composition. In 1907 the Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni (1866–1924) as part of an examination of the tonal system based on what he called “the two Series of Seven,” meaning the major and minor keys in relation to the chromatic scale, attempted to write all the possible heptatonic (seven-tone) scales in his book Sketch…

Upon the completion of the twelve week closed group process, each group member will be given a self-assessment in a Likert scale format (See Appendix A). The first self-assessment will be given at the end of the last meeting to each group member. These self-assessments can be done confidentially with names on the assessment being optional. The group leader will provide instructions on how to complete the forms being handed out. After instructions, participants will fill out two…
