| Class 5 | Friday, January 24 |
On Friday we pushed one step further in our quest to master scales, discussing key signatures and the circle of fifths.
The survey is technically due today, as is homework #3. #4 and #5 are in process.
Homework #3: Piano Notes, Whole Steps, and Half Steps
This worksheet quizzes you about the notes on the piano, and it asks you to count out two small distances (half steps vs. whole steps).
Due date is Fri Jan 24.
Worksheet #4: Major Scales
All right, assignment four asks you to make a bunch of scales. We'll mark them on the piano, list them off with letter names, and draw them on the treble clef. Major scales are covered on pp. 27-28 of our theory textbook.
Due date is Tuesday, Jan 28.
Homework #5: More Scales and Key Sigs
Worksheet #5 tackles the way musicians organize their scales, by memorizing all of the key signatures and thinking about the circle of fifths. This is explained on pp. 29-34 of our theory text.
Due date is Friday, Jan 31.
Homework #6: The Dot
Worksheet #6 asks you to add counts to a bunch of rhythms that include the dot. This is covered on pp. 24-26 of our textbook.
Due date is Tues, Feb 4.
