Recorder Karate: Lesson Twelve (Final Lesson)
Black Belt Lesson
1. Lesson Description:
In this lesson, students will receive both classroom instruction and online instruction to learn how to play the ninth song in the Recorder Karate book, "Ode To Joy". By the end of this lesson, students will be able to recognize rhythms within the piece of
music, identify note names, demonstrate fingerings for the notes D, G, A, B, C' and D', sing the pitches and perform the song on the recorder. Each student will be expected to demonstrate at least an 80% proficiency of the overall material by performing individually on video (which will be posted to their portfolio) and participating in an overall competent AudioBoo recording.
a. The National Standards for Music Education that will be met through this lesson include:
i.1) Singing alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music
ii.2) Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music
iii.5) Reading and notating music
b. The Michigan Standards, Benchmarks and Grade Level Content Expectations for Music that will be met through this lesson include:
i. ART.M.I.3.4 Sing melodies with confidence in a large group.
ii.ART.M.I.3.2: Continue to develop repertoire
iii. ART.M.I.3.9 Use a system to read quarter notes and rests, eighth notes, half notes, and whole notes.
2. Instructions For Students:
1. Students will examine the ninth song in the Recorder Karate book, "Ode To Joy". They will then work in groups
to figure out the rhythms within the piece of music. The class will say the rhythms together afterwards.
2. Students will identify the pitches within the piece of music next. The students will then fill in the note names as an assessment using ProProfs.
3. Students will demonstrate correct fingerings for the notes within the piece of music. They will work in pairs to challenge and help each other to figure out the fingerings quickly. The class will say the names of the notes as they finger them on the recorder together as a class.
4. Students will listen to a YouTube video of Beethoven's "Ode To Joy".
5. Students will be asked to sing solfege to the piece "Ode To Joy" on Mi, Fa, Sol, Re and Do. Then, they will finally get the chance to play the music on their recorders. After the class is able to play the music, students will be recorded through AudioBoo for assessment as well as video recorded for their portfolios. Those students who can perform 80% of the notes and rhythms accurately will recieve a green belt for their recorder.
