- Hi everybody, it's Mr. Palekar and welcome back to our last lesson of the unit, Lesson 6.
This unit is all about recognising different time-signatures, the time signatures that you have learned over the last few weeks.
Let's take a look at our lesson today.
In today's lesson, we are going to: Recap and sing Hullabaloo Belay which has got 6 beats in a bar.
We are going to do our time-signature quiz where you are going to tell me how many beats are there in every single bar.
And there is Mr. Palekar's Musical Challenge called Dipidu.
Don't worry about what Dipidu is just now, you'll find out a little bit later.
Like always, you need to make sure that you have some headphones if you have some, if you don't don't panic.
It is not a problem, just make sure you are somewhere where you can concentrate, where it is quiet where you can focus and you won't get distracted.
You will need a pencil and some paper if you would like to take some notes.
And finally, you definitely need your hands today, ah, your chest, your body, and your voice.
Let's get started with Hullabaloo Belay, 6 beats in a bar.
Last lesson, we were counting in 6 beats in a bar, we were clapping on the down-beat, and clicking on beat four.
Which is not as weak as the other bit- beats, but not as strong as our down beats.
So, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Join in with me.
Go.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Good.
We also said there was a shorter way of doing it, which was counting but just clapping on the down beat, 1, 2, 3.
Counting 2 and 3.
And clicking On the fourth beat.
So, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
And counting all the way through.
The song sounds like this: Me mother had a boarding house, Hullabaloo belay.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, And all the boarders were out to sea.
Hullabaloo belay.
1.
2.
1.
And off we go, Me mother had a boarding house, Hullabaloo belay.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, And all the boarders were out to sea.
Hullabaloo belay.
See if you can join in, clapping the down beats and clicking on beat 4.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Me mother had a boarding house, Hullabaloo belay.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, and all the boarders were out to sea.
Hullabaloo belay.
Good.
Let's see if you can sing it.
My turn and then your turn.
Here we go, Me mother had a boarding house, Hullabaloo belay.
Your turn.
My mother had a boarding house, Hullabaloo belay.
My turn.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, Oh, ready your turn.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, One more time, my turn.
Hullabaloo be-la belay Ready, and your turn.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, My turn.
And all the boarders were out to sea.
Hullabaloo belay.
Ready your turn, And all the boarders were out to sea.
Hullabaloo belay.
Let's put it together nice and slow, here we go.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
1, 2.
Ready? And off we go, Me mother had a boarding house, Hullabaloo belay.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, And all the boarders were out to sea.
Hullabaloo belay.
And again, Me mother had a boarding house, Hullabaloo belay.
Hullabaloo be-la belay, And all the boarders were out to sea.
Hullabaloo belay.
Very well done.
1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
This piece has 6 beats in a bar.
Pause the video now so that you can practise singing Hullabaloo Belay and clapping or patting to the pulse.
Make sure that you count in before you start.
And rewind the video so that we can practise together.
When you're ready to continue, click the play button.
It's now time for our time signature quiz.
In this quiz, you need to listen to the piece of music.
It might be a piece of music that you've heard before.
And then you can tap the pulse, once we've found the pulse.
Once you've found the pulse, you need to find the down-beat, or the strongest beat.
So the, Remember the down-beat is the number 1.
1.
1.
1.
And now we need to fill in the rest of the numbers.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.
That means it would be 3 beats in a bar, that's if we were listening to a piece that had 3 beats in a bar.
Let's do the first one together.
Music 1.
What time signature is this song? As soon as you've found that pulse, see if you can figure out where the downbeat is, and then count how many beats there are in between each of the downbeats.
So.
1.
To the next one.
Here we go.
Look for the pulse.
Down.
Down.
There's our pulse.
One.
That's my downbeat.
One.
Okay so let's count the beats Here we go now, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, So what's the answer? How many beats in a bar? What is our time signature going to be? It is of course, 4 beats in a bar.
See if you can do this next one by yourself.
Music number 2, What time signature is this song? How many beats in a bar? Let's see if you can find the pulse and the downbeat by yourself.
One, One, One, One, One, One, One, One, One.
How many beats in there? In, in that piece of music.
For every single bar, which one? It's going to be, 2 beats in a bar.
Well done if you got that.
Our next piece of music, here we go.
What time signature is this song? Here we go, Have to get the pulse.
One, One, One, One, One, One.
How many beats in a bar? Of course if you were counting correctly, it was 6 beats in a bar.
Music number 4, What time signature is this song? Remember to find the pulse first and then find the downbeat, the strongest beat.
One, One, One, One.
That was 3 beats in a bar, a huge well done.
Pause the video now and you can rewind and take the quiz once more.
Make sure that you count aloud and clap the beats once you have found the pulse.
Then you can write down or say aloud how many beats there are in each bar.
When you're ready to continue, click the play button.
It is time for Mr. Palekar's musical challenge, which is called Dipidu.
As you can see, its going to involve changing time signatures.
Don't panic, but this song has got 2 different time signatures.
Sometimes it uses 3 beats in a bar and sometimes it uses 2 beats in a bar.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2.
1, 2.
1, 2.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.
When we're changing between time signatures, it's really important that we keep that beat, that pulse, all the way through, nice and even.
It doesn't stop.
But we do need to make sure that we are thinking, and counting the correct numbers.
Let's have a look and a listen to how it sounds.
Sounds like this, Good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu, good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu, dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
I'll sing that one more time, Good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu, good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu.
dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu, dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, Dipidu, oh dipidu.
Good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu, good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu.
Dip, dip, dip, dip dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu, dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, Dipidu, oh dipidu.
That's where we are changing between 3 beats in a bar and 2 beats in a bar.
My turn, and then your turn.
Here we go, 1, 2, 3, here I go, ready? Good day, good day to you, Good day, good day to you, Good day, oh dipidu, Good day, oh dipidu, Good day, good day to you, Good day, good day to you, Good day, oh dipidu.
Good day, oh dipidu.
Good let's try it from the top, off we go, and 1, 2, 3 1, 2 Good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu, good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu.
Very nice, let's see if you can add that pause to it.
So 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 Now this song, it comes in after 2 beats.
So it goes, 1, 2, 3.
1, 2.
Good day, let's try it, ready, 1, 2, 3.
1, 2.
Good day, good day to you, good day oh ripidu, good day, good day to you good day, oh dipidu.
Good, the next part it's changing into 2 beats in a bar.
It goes, Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, Dipidu, oh dipidu, Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, Dipidu, oh dipidu.
Let's break it down, My turn and then your turn.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
Ready? And your turn.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
Let's try it one more time, ready? Off we go.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
Good, let's try it, two times in a row.
Ready, 1, 2, off we go.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu.
Dipidu, oh dipidu.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
Good, let's add that pulse.
So, clap, pat, 1, 2.
1, 2.
Off we go, Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu, Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
One more time, 1, 2, and off we go, Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu, dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
Very nice, let's go all the way from the top.
Now, if you are finding it a bit tricky to do the clapping of the pulse and the counting in your head at the same time, see if you can just sing the song instead.
If you want to pat the pulse on a part of your body without thinking about whether it's a clap, or a click, or a pat that's absolutely fine.
Let's see if you can sing it with me.
Ready? If you would like to, clap/click the pulse with me.
Go ahead.
Let's do it together, ready? 1, 2, 3.
1, 2.
Good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu, good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu.
Ready? Dip, dip, dip, dip dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu, dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
Good day, good day to you, good day, oh dipidu, good day, oh dipidu, good day, oh dipidu.
Dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu, dip, dip, dip, dip, dipidu, dipidu, oh dipidu.
Well done, really, really, really great job.
Well done today, guys.
Pause the video so that you can rewind and practise again one more time with me.
You can practise Dipidu all the way through, and if you can, clap and pat to the pulse of the music.
Great job today guys! Now from this unit, now you can find the pulse in a piece of music.
You can recognise different time signatures, so different beats in a bar.
And you can sing songs with 2 beats, 3 beats, 4 beats, and 6 beats in a bar.
You can also sing music which changes time signatures from our song, Dipidu.
You have done a fantastic job this unit, and if you would like to share any of your work, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter by tagging @OakNational and #LearnwithOak.
Really, really well done over the last 6 lessons.
Fantastic learning and great singing, I hope that you have a favourite one or two different activities that you feel that you can share with your families or friends, or even host over to me if you would like to.
All I can say is a really big well done and I will see you in our next unit, Goodbye for now!.
