Join us live at 1:30pm for your Music lesson!

Jazz Music

Jazz music originates from Afro-America and was popular around the 1920s. It is recognised by it’s varied rhythms, instrumentation and improvisation sections where the performer has the freedom to ‘make it up on the spot’. We have learned that this takes much skill!

In our music lessons, as well as learning to play a jazz piece on the Glockenspiel, you have heard Cleo Lane and John Dankworth performing a jazz song with her scat singing and you have enjoyed listening to Dave Brubeck’s ‘Take 5’ where you tried to tap the pulse beat for 5 beats in a bar.

Today, we would like you to listen to 3 pieces of jazz music and for each, we would like you to complete the Listening Grid to identify:

1. The instruments you hear playing
2. How many beats in a bar you can count
3. How the music makes you feel
4. What you like/dislike about each pieceCLICK HERE FOR THE LISTENING GRIDIf you can't print it off, don't worry! Copy it into your Home Book instead.

Finally, we would like you to choose your favourite piece and explain why it is your favourite.

The 3 pieces are:

Maple Leaf Rag – Scott Joplin   CLICK HERE FOR 'MAPLE LEAF RAG'

So What? – Miles Davis      CLICK HERE FOR 'SO WHAT?'

Rhapsody in Blue – George Gershwin    CLICK HERE FOR 'RHAPSODY IN BLUE'

This final piece is a whopping 9 minutes long so you do not have to listen to all of it if you cannot manage it, the first 3 mins will do!

Try improvising a short section of energetic rhythm to each piece – you could tap, clap or even find a makeshift drum to do this!!

Using the same PDF you have been using for your Guided Reading tasks, scroll to page 6 – Vocab 2. Today, we are focusing on antonyms. Firstly, you need to know what each of the purple words mean. (You should have this information from the Guided Reading task that you completed on Tuesday). Then, find an antonym for each of the purple words. If you want to try the extra challenge, then use each of your antonyms in a new sentence.

Here is a PowerPoint on antonyms to help you if you can’t join the live lesson.

If you can’t join us, please don’t worry! Here are some instructions:

Starter: Read the story of Athena and Medusa.

The Story of Medusa and Athena 

From the story, what do you think temples were for in Ancient Greece?  

In Ancient Greece, temples were not places where people met or where religious services happened. They were houses for gods and goddesses. Religious services happened outside the temples and inside there was a statue of the god or goddess who lived there, and all the offerings given to that god or goddess by the ordinary people. They were, by far, the most important buildings in Ancient Greece. The myth you have just read was set in the most important temple left standing today – the Parthenon, in Athens, the capital city of Ancient Greece. Athena lived there. 

Look through the presentation on The Parthenon.

Parthenon PowerPoint

Activity 1:
