Generative Topic: Patterns

Definition: A consistent and repeating unit

Musical Patterns

Features

Patterns in speed

Patterns in meaning

Patterns in style

Timing patterns

Melodic patterns

Student types

Require mix of group discussion as well as instructor modeling -- LOTS of visual aides as well as white boards to practice on

Blocks of instruction ranging from 7-15 minutes

Eighth Grade Age Students

Formal Operational Stage

Topic being taught: Melodic Patterns in Music -- Space between notes played at once

Misconceptions:

Common Misconceptions

Starting with the same note, but slightly different spacing

The same note repeated in separate beats

Overgeneralization

Notes that look the same distance apart are the same no matter their location on the staff

Undergeneralization

Notes have to be in the same octave to count as the same

Definition: The pattern comes when we see a repetition of the same spacing between notes

Space between notes played at once

Typical Examples

Notes being played in separate staffs at the same time

Same note in different Octaves

C Major Dual Octave

Chords

G Minor

C Major

F Major

Atypical Examples

Notes being played that are a half step apart-the notes look as if they should be played separately due to spacing

A 2nd Interval

Defining Features

Notes being connected to be played at the same beat
