kindly read first our objectives.
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students should
be able to:
a. understands what is meant by pitch
and how it differs from another
musical element;
b. appreciates the importance of pitch
in a music by singing a song; and
c. performs a piece of music using
different pitches to convey a specific
message or emotion.
3. Discussion
It is a song or tune ma’am.
What is Melody?
Melody- A melody is a sequence of
musical notes or tones that are
perceived as a single, cohesive musical
line. Melodies are created by arranging
different pitches (notes) in a specific
order and duration to convey a musical
idea or emotion.
There are four types of pitch
High pitch- Higher-pitched sounds
have higher frequencies.
Low-(lower) A low pitch refers to a
sound or musical note that has a lower
frequency, resulting in a deeper or bass-
like tone. Pitch is a perceptual property
of sound, and it is associated with the
frequency of sound waves. In general,
lower frequencies produce lower
pitches, while higher frequencies
produce
higher pitches.
Moderate high- (higher) "Moderate
high pitch" is a term that describes a
musical note or sound with a pitch that
is moderately elevated above the
average or baseline pitch. It suggests a
tone that is higher than what might be
considered a middle or neutral pitch,
but not extremely
high.
Moderately low-(lower) "Moderate
low pitch" is a term used to describe a
musical note or sound with a pitch that
is moderately lower than the average or
baseline pitch. It suggests a tone that is
lower than what might be considered a
middle or neutral pitch but is not
extremely low.
So now, there’s other way to read notes
easily start reading from bottom to top.
To remember the pitch names of the
spaces, spell the word ‘FACE.’
The exact pitch is determined by another
musical symbol called “Clef.”
The G-Clef or treble clef shows
that the second line of the staff
is G.
The F-Clef or Bass clef shows
that the fourth line from the
bottom represents the F.
A Bar line divides the staff into
measures.
Double Bar Lines mark the end
of a piece of music.
Question class regarding our lesson? None ma’am.
