Warm-upA•warm•up•activity•warms•up•the•instrument,•e.g.,•voice,•trumpet,•as•well•as•the•students’•body•and•mind.•The•warm•up•in•this•lesson•includes•the•Jazz•rhythms•in•Lesson•3.•Using•these•Jazz•rhythms•in•the•first•three•lessons•provides•students•with•an•experiential•activity•that•supports•attainment•and•consolidates•learning.•Introducing•two•rhythms•in•Lesson•1•and•two•in•Lesson•2•means•that•four•Jazz•rhythms•will•be•prior•knowledge•by•Lesson•3.•

•• Alto, Baritone Saxophone

•• B flat Clarinet, trumpet, TC Baritone

Think-AloudA•Think-Aloud•is•an•instructional•scaffold•that•models•thinking•processes,•making•the•invisible•visible.•In•a•Think-Aloud,•the•teacher•verbalizes•how•to•think•through•a•process.•

While•teachers•can•think•aloud•at•any•point•in•an•instructional•sequence,•Think-Alouds•are•frequent•during•the•modeling•phase•of•the•gradual•release•model•and•during•read-alouds.•(See•the•Strategy Implementation Continuum.)

A•Think-Aloud•is•a•form•of•explicit•instruction•that•requires•teachers•to•be•aware•of•their•own•thinking•processes•in•order•to•help•students•think•about•their•thinking.•Developing•metacognitive•awareness•is•an•important•aspect•of•learning.•(See•Metacognition Guide.)•

Reference PageA•reference•page•shows•the•first•five•notes•of•a•major•scale•with•the•Roman•numerals•underneath.•Sample•script•#1•shows•how•to•guide•students•through•the•creation•of•a•reference•page.•

Tell•students•to•write•the•first•five•notes•of•the•scale•(whichever•scale•applies•to•their•instruction)•in•whole•notes•on•the•staff•paper.•Give•each•note•its•own•measure.•Then•model•how•to•number•the•notes.•

Script #1“I•am•also•going•to•write•the•12-bar•Blues•pattern•across•the•top•of•my•scale•page•as•a•reference.”•Demonstrate,•e.g.,•on•an•overhead•or•the•board.•“Then,•write•the•Roman•numeral•corresponding•to•each•note•underneath.•I•am•writing•the•Roman•numeral•I,•or•one,•under•the•first•note.•I•put•the•Roman•numeral•II•under•the•second•note,•and•so•on.”•Continue•for•the•first•five•notes.•This•can•be•used•as•as•a•reference•page•while•learning•about•the•12-bar•Blues.

Feedback“As•part•of•assessment•for•learning,•teachers•provide•students•with•descriptive•feedback•and•coaching•for•improvement.•Teachers•engage•in•assessment•as•learning•by•helping•all•students•develop•their•capacity•to•be•independent,•autonomous•learners•who•are•able•to•set•individual•goals,•monitor•their•own•progress,•determine••next•steps,•and•reflect•on•their•thinking•and•learning.”•(Growing Success,•2010,•p.•28)•

12-Bar Blues FormThe•12-bar•Blues•harmonic•root•progression•is•as•follows: I I I I IV IV I I V IV I I•.•

Suggestion:•If•working•with•beginning•vocal/instrumental•students,•use•only•the•first•note•(the•root)•of•The•Blues•harmonic•progressions•(I, IV, V).•The•root•notes•of•The•Blues•harmonic•progression•are•the•bottom•notes•of•a•three•note•chords•that•make•up•the•form.•Make•each•note•a•whole•note,•i.e.,•one•whole•note•per•measure.•

If•working•with•more•advanced•students,•begin•to•add•harmonies•by•looking•at•The•Blues•form•as•chord•sequences.•Create•harmonies•with•the•third•and•fifth•of•the•chord.•To•add•interest,•use•a•simple•Jazz•rhythm•that•is•repeated•for•each•bar.

Instructional Components and Context

Root Note of a ChordThe•root•note•of•a•chord•is•the•first•note•at•the•bottom•of•a•chord•in•its•home•position,•e.g.,•C•is•the•root•of•a•chord•that•begins•on•the•note•C.

Play by Numbers The•teacher•or•a•student•directs•the•class•indicating•notes•by•the•number•of•fingers•raised•or•by•numbers•written•on•the•board.•

Each•note•in•the•scale•is•numbered•from•1•to•7.•Regardless•of•the•instrument,•students•can•play•the•first,•second,•third•notes,•etc.,•of•the•scale.•Numbering•makes•large•group•improvisation•easier.•The•teacher•or•a•student•holds•up•the•appropriate•number•of•fingers•(or•writes•a•progression•on•the•board).•Explanation•is•simplified•when•students•are•playing•a•variety•of•instruments•in•different•keys•because•they•don’t•need•to•transpose.•

Focusing•students•on•the•numbers•bridges•to•the•performance•stage,•where•numbers•are•also•used.•The•difference•is•that•Roman•numerals•are•used•in•performance.•Showing•a•note’s•number•representation•prepares•students•to•learn•numbered•chords•in•the•future.
