These are some of the types of notes that you will use throughout your studies in music. Each note has a value. The value is the number of beats it is worth. When you play music, you learn to hear and feel the beats; they are sometimes called the pulse or the counts.
This term, the music that we are going to listen to, play and compose will be blues music. Below are some pictures of blues singers. You will be hearing some of their music.
BB KING
Bessie Smith
Blind Lemon Jefferson
Eric Clapton
Robert Johnson
Sonny Boy Williamson
4 Lets listen to some music!! Here are some pieces of music, they are songs by the singers you have just seen. Have a listen to each one. Think and then turn to a partner and share what you have heard. Write down your thoughts on the next page. There are some musical words below to help you to use musical language when you discuss what you hear.
Tempo - Is the music fast, slow or somewhere between? Pitch - Are you hearing high or low sounds or both? Timbre - This is a French word. It is about sound quality. What sounds are you hearing? Texture - Are you hearing lots of sounds together ( a thick texture) or not many sounds together ( a thin texture) Dynamics - Time for some Italian words!! Is the music loud = forte, soft = piano, medium loud = mezzo forte, medium soft = mezzo piano or a mixture of these.

You are going to learn to play a piece of music called Rubber Duck. The piece is designed to sound like a blues tune. It uses something called a blues scale. The blues scale is a set of notes that gives music a bluesy sound. Firstly you are going to learn to play Rubber Duck accompaniment. You have the choice of playing it on a violin, viola or a cello. Each instrument page has the music notation and note diagrams written on it. Youre challenge in each case is to figure out how to play the accompaniment parts from the notation and diagrams.
16
Use the diagram below to help you to figure out how to play the notes this violin accompaniment. 17
18
See if you can use the fingering chart below to help you to learn to play this viola accompaniment. Notice the different clef at the start of the notation.
Alto clef
19
See if you can use the note diagram below the notation to figure out where the cello notes are in this piece.
Bass clef
20
Now that youve learned to play an accompaniment part, ask your teacher for a recording device to record your performance. Listen to it, maybe with a partner if you like. Then decide which level you have achieved with this task. Put a tick in the box next to the level you feel you have achieved. Assess your performance
Level 2 I can play bits of the piece whilst keeping to a steady pulse.
Level 3 I can play most of the piece whilst keeping to a steady pulse.
Level 4 I can play my piece by ear and from notation with others, whilst keeping to a steady pulse and showing an awareness of other players.
Level 5 I can play my piece by ear and from notation with others from memory whilst keeping to a steady pulse. I can lead my ensemble And even take a solo part.
Level 6 I can play my piece by ear and from notation with others from memory whilst keeping to a steady pulse. I can lead my ensemble And even take a solo part. I can also add my own dynamics, tempo changes and timbre changes to my performance.
Now that youve learnt to play an accompaniment part, we are going to learn to play the main melody. This is going to be play on the keyboard, right hand only. If you are able to do this fairly easily, why not try to play the piano part; this uses the right and left hands!

LEFT HAND AREA
RIGHT HAND AREA
22
The arrows show you the pitch area for the piece. See if you can work out the pitch direction by using the notation and the original recording for reference.
The little b next to some of the notes means that the note is a flat. That means that you play the black note to the left of the white note that is first stated. So for example, and Eb would be the first black note to the left of E. See if you can find the flat notes in the piece. As a bit of fun, you could find a partner to test! Listen to this piece on the original recording for help with rhythm and pulse.
23
Now that youve learned to play the keyboard part, ask your teacher for a recording device to record your performance. Listen to it, maybe with a partner if you like. Then decide which level you have achieved with this task. Put a tick in the box next to the level you feel you have achieved. Assess your performance
24
This part adds some left hand notes to the right hand. Why not give it a try? The arrow shows you the note area.
This piano part is a real test. There are no note names written in to help. It also uses both hands to play! There are arrows pointing to the starting notes but the rest is for you to work out! If you need to listen to the original recording for reference, feel free to do so any time during your learning!

Now its time to compose. On the next page you will see three staves. Each staves consists of five lines. Youve seen them a lot whilst youve been learning to play your accompaniment and keyboard parts. The Composer line is designed for you to write your notes on. The Rhythm helper line gives you a rhythm pattern to add your notes to. The Notemap line gives you the choice of notes to use in each bar. Your teacher will demonstrate how this works. Your piece will be written as a 12 bar blues. This means that you will fill 12 bars with music. The choice of notes will come from the C blues scale. The notes in the C blues scale are C, Eb, F, F#, G, Bb. Once you have finished writing your piece, learn to play it, then record and assess it. You can assess it using a listening page.

Highlight which of these skills you think you have used and developed during your music study this term Finally there is a page about the topic itself. This is designed for you to fill in and write your views about the topic and your learning through it.
