2017, Term 3, Week 7: Dishwashing Music

How many symbols can you recognise? What are their names?

Add bar lines to match the time signature. Scroll down to find the completed version. 

Last week we looked at music made by glassware - this week, it's time to wash the dishes - but maybe not last week's crystal glassware . . .  As you watch the video below, think about these questions: 
 - how many ways do the performers make music? 
- how many different sounds do they get out of the same 'instrument' and how do they change the sound  and pitch* the instrument makes.  
This is a performance by Stomp, a percussion  group from United Kingdom.

Then look for the POP UP WINDOW tab and click on that. 

Look for the MANAGE OCTAVES tab and add a higher octave and remove the lowest one - so you are starting at Middle C.

Vocabulary:
pitch - In music, the pitch of a note means how high or low a note is. The pitch of a note can be measured in a unit called Hertz. A note that is vibrating at 256 Hz will be caused by sound waves that vibrate at 256 times a second.  A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency (vibration) sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.

Can you see the difference between the vibrations (frequency) of higher-pitched instruments and lower-pitched instruments? 

Some animals make a low sound and others make a high sound

This week's nursery rhyme is very short - Jack Be Nimble. 

 

The earliest known time that it appeared in writing  was in 1815.  Jumping candlesticks was a type of fortune telling  and also a sport. If you jumped over the burning candle without the flame going out, it was believed you would have good luck. (It was obviously good luck because you didn't get burned!) 

Here's a version with an extra verse to show you what happened to Jack when he didn't jump high enough . . . 

                         

Here's a Sesame Street Newsflash version of the rhyme. 

Here's another Sesame Street video to help you understand the word nimble.
