Grade 9

Lesson 1 – Conducting Patterns


WEEK 1

W - Loose Tooth (15 minutes) 

Song Study: Loose Tooth

I had a loose tooth

A wiggly jiggly loose tooth

I had a loose tooth

A-hanging by a thread

Someone pulled  my loose tooth

My wiggly jiggly loose tooth

Now I have a nickle

and a hole in my head.

The teacher will first introduce the song "Loose Tooth" and make it first as an echo song for the student to be
familiar with it. 

After everybody is comfortable with it, body percussions will be added on some of the words: 2 claps for loose
tooth; tapping of lap for "wiggly jiggly", and snap for the words "thread" and "head."

Then the class will be playing the different percussion instruments that they are holding, one instrument per beat
until everybody is done. 

Then the body percussions will be replaced for by the percussion instruments, ask the students to identify which
percussion should replace for which body percussion, and then sing the song with the percussion instruments. 

For the last time, sing   the song with body percussion and then followed immediately by the song with
percussion instruments. 

I - Discussion (15 minutes)

Then the teacher will ask the students what to identify the musical elements highlighted in the activity. 

Then the teacher will discuss the different elements of rhythm: beat, duration, and time signature. 
Then he will show the students the table of notes and show how the "Loose Tooth" is made up of notes with
different duration. 

Then he will introduce the conducting patterns by showing a video clip of an 8-year old conducting an orchestra.

W/I - Conducting Patterns  (10 minutes)

Then the teacher will   introduce  the different patterns. 

Then individually, the students will be  assigned the different patterns. 

WEEK 2

W/I - Review of Conducting Patterns (10 minutes)

The class opens up with a review on conducting patterns.

With the use of a flashcard, the teacher then asks them individually to conduct a particular pattern.

G -A Seatwork on Time Signature (10 minutes)

The class will then be divided into pairs and each pair will be asked to answer together, helping each other, the
given seatwork.

The teacher then distributes a seatwork sheet where that asks them to:

1. Divide the given group of notes  according to the given time signature

2. To complete measures with the missing notes

3. To create their own rhythmic pattern for a given time signature. 

I  - Practice on Conducting Patterns  (15 minutes)

The students will be given 10 excerpts of famous songs (with different ranges from easy to difficult, and with
different patterns).

They will choose one (1) and will be given enough time to practice reading its lyrics while conducting it, making
sure that the words are said at the right beat.

If two or more persons liked the same song, they may practice together, but they will have to perform solo.
Individual Performance (10 minutes)

After the allotted time for practice, they will be called one by one to read and conduct the patterns of the song,
those who can sing the excerpts of the song may also do so. 

WEEK 3 

W- Review on Conducting Patterns (5 minutes) 

The teacher will review with the class the conducting patterns for two-four, three-four, four-four, and  six-
eigth time signatures.

Then the students will be divided into two groups (male and female). 

The teacher will flash on the screen the notation of "Hello Vietnam," and have its  playback.

The teacher will demonstrate how to conduct with the audio of the song, making sure that the lyrics are
sung on the right beat.

G - Practice (10 minutes)

The task of the students is to conduct with the first minute of the song using four-four conducting
pattern. 

The audio file will be played several times during the practice to give them time to master the timing of the
song. 

G - Performance (5 minutes)

Each group will then perform while the other group watches them. 

I - Quiz #1 on EdPuzzle  (20 minutes) 

The students will be given 20 minutes to finish this activity which is all about rhythm and its features. 

Core Tactic – CONDUCTING WHILE SINGING SONGS


The students will explore how conducting makes their singing more rhythmic and perfectly on correct
timing.

Trying to feel the accent the song, they will be able to identify the specific pattern or time signature of
different sounds. 

Conducting while singing is very good way of integrating the minute details discussed about rhythm.
