Area of concentration - Instrumental Music


Lesson area: Beginning jazz appreciation
Target area: 9th grade
 
District Aim: Students will learn to play an instrument and appreciate music.

Subject Area Goal: Students will become proficient at identifying different performers through their individual styles.

Objectives: Instrumental concentration - saxophone

  •  Students will make a list of as many saxophone players they know.
  •  Students will differentiate what qualities makes each of the performers sound different
  •  Students will make decisions as to why they like dislike different players.

Procedures:

The teacher will provide a list of saxophone players to the students, after the students have made their own list. the teacher will also provide musical excerpts from each of the performers. the students will listen to the tapes, and will eventually be quizzed about who played what song.
 
MI Objectives:

  •  Interpersonal: The students will divide into groups and discuss what made each excerpt different. They will talk about style, articulation, sound quality, dynamics, and expressiveness.
  • Intrapersonal: Each student will develop a journal and write down their impressions of the recordings -- entries may include emotional responses of each piece.
  • Spatial: Students will draw pictures interpreting visually what the different recordings mean to them.
     
  • Musical: Students will identify and explain which recording(s) best represents them. They will need to explain which musical sounds they identify with and why.
     
  • Bodily-Kinesthetic: Students will interpret the sounds from the recordings and move around the room in accordance to what they hear.
  • Logical/Mathematical: Students will fill out a questionnaire detailing what sounds they like and why. Then, they will analyze transcribed solos of the different saxophone styles and come to a conclusion if they like or dislike a saxophone player. These judgments will be based on students' personal analyses as they examine their auditory impressions compared to the written score of each piece.
