Monday, 4/02 MUSIC CLASS:
We started the week with music class and the plan for today was this:
1. Warm up
2. Associative listening
3. Formal listening
4. Small composers workshop
5. From a picture to a peace of music
In one hand, to "Warm up" we sang "Slap & clap", "the secretary" and we sang a lot of songs from the copys with the piano in order to warm up us: "Singing all together", "My Lord what a morning", "Swing low"...
In second hand, we listened some pieces to try to associate with differents kinds of animals:
- BER: fast, buzzy sound, small intervals...music
- ELEPHANT: slowly, deep...music
- SWAN: soft, elegant, high...music
When we finished with this associations, we worked in groups to try to perform the music or transform the music to the mimic play. The teacher gave us a piece of music and all groups went to diferents classes to rehearse the performance. And when all people presented their theatres, we realized that all scenaires have tension, killers, dead...because the music maked us feel that.
With this activity we could express our feelings, working in group, being creativity, listening music and transform in feelings....because the music has meaning!!
In third place, we put one piece of music in order ("The Gnome"):
Finally, we did in groups a small composer workshop with this structure. My group composed for all spanish girls did a little representation about the sounds like the water:

To start the music class, the teacher did a short introduction about how teaching music to teenagers:

Approach: analytical Approach: physical, experiential
Then, we introduced ourself (focusing on music). We had to answer these questions:
How were you taught music?
- I taught music in the school and also in the last year of university I play the flute.
What is your favorite music?
- My favourite music is pop and flamenco.
Are you a musician yourself?
- No, I'm not, but my sister is a musician and she plays the clarinet.
30 minuts after, we went to an other class and we did one coreography with differents steps and voices.
When we came back to our class, we did an exercise about perception (listening to and learning about music):
APPROACH: music as something already familiar, something that surrounds us in our daily lives.
We listened a song from Robbie Williams:
Before listening:
Which musical structures do you expect to find in a pop song?
- chorus/refrain, climax, instrumental (solo), intro, verse...
What is a hook?
- is a short and remarkable, but relatively simple, melodic or rhytmic phrase wich is easier to remember than the rest of the music.
After listening:
We completed a table about the structure that we can find in a pop song:
