Lesson video

Hi, everybody? My name is Mr. Palekar and welcome back to our last lesson this unit, lesson number six.

Now today, we are going to perform our cup game.

We are going to read some rhythms using all of the notes that you've learnt.

We are going to complete our composition.

Remember our composition is the music that we started to make up.

And, we are going to perform our composition as well.

For this lesson, you will need some headphones If you have some.

If you don't, don't worry.

As always make sure that you are sitting somewhere where you can concentrate and won't be disturbed.

You'll need a pencil and some paper, if you would like to take any notes.

You will need your hands.

And finally, you will need a plastic or a cardboard beaker or cup.

Please make sure it's not made out of something that will break.

And if you're not sure, always ask an adult first.

Let's get started.

The cup game.

The chant for the cup game is something that we've been practising for the last few lessons.

My turn and then your turn.

Ready? ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ I'll do two lines first.

And then you can say it back.

Ready? My turn first.

♪ Here I go ♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Here you go ♪ ♪ Clap clap ♪ ♪ Tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ Good.

♪ My turn here I go ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ ♪ Your turn ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Good.

Let's stick it together.

Ready? From the top.

Here we go.

♪ Clap clap ♪ ♪ Tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Brilliant! Let's do it.

♪ Two times in a row ♪ ♪ Ready one two and off we go ♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ ♪ And again ♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Excellent! One last time.

One time all the way through, and we're going to pat the pulse.

Somewhere on your body you can pat it on your shoulder, on your knees, on your elbows, on your head.

No problem here we go.

One, two, one two, and off we go.

♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Very good.

Now remember, our pulse is even.

Is always even.

Okay, let's get to know that rhythm again.

So we've got two beats in a bar.

Just like last time.

And here is our rhythm for the top line.

See if you can work out what those notes are.

Hmm, I can see some ta's in there, I can see a ti-ti in there.

I can see some squiggle at the end.

Can you remember what it is? It is a ta, which is a ta, rest.

And in that rest, we don't play anything at all.

Here are our rhythm syllables.

Our sounds for the notes.

Let's say it first all the way through.

Ready? a one, two, ooh.

I'm going to pat the pulse as well.

One, two, ready? Off we go.

♪ Ta ta ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta shh.

♪ ♪ One more time ready ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta shh ♪ Good.

Clap it and say it.

Off we go.

♪ Ta ta ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ ♪ One more time ♪ ♪ Ready here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta shh ♪ ♪ Clap it on its own ready ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ One more time.

Ready? Here we go, and.

Great.

Let's see what's on our second line.

Okay, I can see a lot of the same notes and you will have recognised that they are all ta's.

Except for that last squiggle, which is our ta, rest.

Let's say that second line all the way through.

One, two, ♪ And off we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ta ♪ Clap and say it.

♪ Ready off we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ Good.

♪ Now clap it by itself ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ One more time.

Clap it and say it in your head.

Say it in your head.

One, two, and off we go.

Let's do it all the way through.

Here we go.

We're going to clap and say it from the very beginning all the way through our piece of music.

Here we go.

One, two.

Ready? ♪ Off we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta shh ♪ Very nice indeed, but let's get rid of those sound.

Those sounds words for the notes.

So there's rhythm syllables.

They are gone.

Let's see if we can read it without them.

Clap hands, say it.

Ready? One, two.

♪ And off we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ♪ One more time.

But you're going to say it in your head and you're going to clap it out loud.

Ready? And one, two, and off we go.

Good.

Let's try it two times in a row.

Which means, when we get to the end we are going to go right back to the beginning.

Ready? Hands at the ready, one, two, and off we go.

And again, Great job.

Right.

Let's add in those words from our chant all the way through.

Here we go, so those are our shushes at the end.

That's our ta, rests.

And here are our words.

Clap, clap, tap, tap, tap.

Let's clap the rhythm of the words in our music and say our chant.

Here we go.

One, two.

Ready? One, two, three.

Here we go.

♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down shh ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around shh ♪ ♪ One more time ♪ ♪ Ready here we go ♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down shh ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ One last time.

Ready? One, two, ♪ And off we go ♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down shh ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around shh ♪ Stop right there.

Brilliant! Well done.

It is now time for you to have your cup to hand because we are going to now put the actions on our cup.

So if you haven't got yourself a cup at the moment, pause the video and go and get one for you.

If you need help, ask an adult to make sure that your cup is not something that will break.

Make sure it's made out of something like, hard or plastic.

When you're ready just continue.

Let's play.

So, my cup is going to be upside down and in front of me.

And today, we're going to go for it.

We're going to break it down a little bit but we've had a few lessons on this, so hopefully you've been practising as well.

Okay? My turn.

I'll show you how it goes all the way through.

One, two, ♪ And off I go ♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ ♪ One more time ♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Well done, if you are doing it with me, but don't worry if you weren't.

I'm going to break it down now.

I imagine that that's the part that you probably got really, really well.

The next part, which we were practising a little bit more last week.

Last lesson was, ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Okay? ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ I'll break that down a little bit.

♪ Clap clap tap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Very good.

We are now going to loop our cup game all the way through.

We're going to do it over and over and over again, with a piece of music as well.

Let's play that piece of music.

And when you're ready, you can join in with me.

Here we go.

Ready? One, two, three.

Here we go.

♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ And again.

♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ One more time.

♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ Very good.

And stop right there.

Really, really well done.

Now, I know there are some of you that are screaming out the video saying, "I can do that.

"That's absolutely fine." So here's a piece of music, which is slightly faster.

It has a slightly faster tempo, slightly faster speed.

And we can do the cup game to it.

Are you ready? Have your cup ready.

I'll count you in.

One, two, one, two, three, four ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ ♪ Here we go, now.

♪ ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all around ♪ One more time ♪ Clap clap tap tap tap ♪ ♪ Clap up down ♪ ♪ Clap now turn it all ♪ Say it in your head.

And freeze.

Well done.

Pause the video now, so that you can perform the cup game all the way through.

If you would like to practise once more with me, rewind 20 seconds and we'll practise together.

And if you'd like to practise with the backing track, rewind 20 seconds as well.

When you're ready to continue click the play button.

Reading rhythms. Over the last few lessons, we have been sharing a lot of musical notes so that we can read some rhythms. Let's remind ourselves of what they look like.

Okay.

So I can see some of the notes that we've been using.

We have a ta, we have a ti-ti, we have a ta-ah, we have our ti-ka-ti-ka, and we have our ta, rest.

Okay.

I'm going to clap on you.

Clap it back to me.

One, two and here I go.

Ta ready? Your turn.

Good.

Say it out loud.

Ta, ready? Your turn.

Good my turn.

Ti-ti, ready your turn.

Say it louder.

Ti-ti ready? Your turn.

Very good.

My turn.

Ta-ah, your turn.

Freeze right there.

Now, ta-ah it lasts for two beats.

Here I go.

♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Your turn ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ Good.

My turn.

♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ Your turn.

♪ Say it louder ♪ ♪ One more time ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ ♪ Very good my turn ta ♪ ♪ Your turn ta ♪ ♪ You good ta ♪ ♪ One more time here you go ta ♪ And Stop right there.

Our ta, our ti-ti together, our ti-ka-ti-ka and our ta.

All last for just one beat.

But our ta-ah lasts for two beats.

Last lesson.

We also introduced our, ta-ah-ah-ah.

It lasts for four beats in total.

That's our longest note so far.

Ta-ah-ah-ah.

Try it with me.

♪ Ready here we go ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Just one clap ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ But we hold on that note for a full beat.

Ready? ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ One last time ready ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ Good.

Okay.

Let's read some rhythms. Remember that our steps to success are, number one.

We say the notes by themselves.

We say the rhythm syllables, the sounds of the nose.

Our ta's, our ti-ti's or our ta-ah-ah-ah's and so on.

Then we clap and say the notes together.

Then finally we clap only, but we say it in our heads.

Are we ready? You will recognise that just like last lesson, we are now reading not one bar rhythms, but two bar rhythms. And each of those bars has four beats in them.

Which means that actually we can get rid of those heartbeats and we can just put a number four at the start.

And that tells us that there are the same amount of beats in every single bar.

Are we ready? I know that you can recognise some of those rhythms and those notes.

Okay, here we go.

Let's say it first.

One, two.

And off we go.

♪ Ta ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Clap it and say it ready ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Clap it and say it one more time ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ta-Ah ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ Very good.

Clap it by itself, but say in your head ready? Here we go.

♪ One more time ready ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ Very nice.

Okay.

Remember that ta-ah and that ta-ah-ah-ah.

You have to go all the way through the length of each note.

That ta-ah lasting for two beats.

That ta-ah-ah-ah lasting for four beats.

Our next rhythm.

Here we go.

Can you recognise what these notes are? Before I put them on? There we go.

Say it.

♪ Ready and here we go ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ Very good.

♪ Now clap it and say it here we go ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ta ta ♪ ♪ Ta ta ta ta ♪ ♪ Clap it on its own ♪ ♪ Ready here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ♪ Do it one more time.

One more time.

♪ Ready off we go ♪ Pause the video now, so that you can try clapping the rhythms one more time.

Rewind the video 20 seconds and let's practise together once more.

When you're ready to continue click the play button.

Composing rhythms. Last lesson we put together our very own rhythm by selecting different notes to go on each of the heart beats.

Each of our beats.

We have four beats in a bar, and this is how it looked from last lesson.

Let's read it through in the same way as we've been reading our rhythms. We're going to say it best.

Ready? One, two, and off we go.

♪ Ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ta ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka ta ♪ Very good.

That's what was your choice from last lesson.

We picked them together and we put them into our piece.

♪ Ready here we go ♪ Very good.

Now this section, we are going to call section A.

Section A.

And our section A, I've coloured in green so we remember it.

section A.

But we also need to create a new section.

Something that's going to be different.

What should we have? Or what kind of notes that we haven't had? Okay.

What should we pick guys? Okay.

Maybe.

Okay.

Let's use our newest note.

Which is our, can you remember? ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Try it with me ♪ ♪ Ready off we go ♪ ♪ Ta ah-ah-ah ♪ Very nice.

♪ One more time here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ah-ah-ah ♪ Good.

Well, that takes up a whole bar because one ta-ah-ah-ah lasts for four beats.

Okay, well.

What about our second bar? Let's have a ta, to begin with.

And then we'll have a squiggle.

Which is a ta, rest.

Good.

Then we'll have our ti-ka-ti-ka.

And then we could have a, another rest.

Okay, fine.

Let's see if we can do that second bar.

Ready? One, two, say it ♪ Ready here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ti-ka-ti-ka ta ♪ ♪ Can you clap and say that bar ♪ ♪ One two and off we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ti-ka-ti-ka ta ♪ ♪ One more time ready ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ ♪ Ta ta ti-ka-ti-ka ta ♪ Very good.

Let's clap and say it all the way through from the beginning of these two bars.

Let's give it a go.

One, two, ♪ Ready off we go ♪ ♪ Ta ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Ta ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ Good.

One more time.

Ready? One, two, ♪ And off we go.

♪ ♪ Ta ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Ta ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ ♪ One more time ♪ ♪ But clap it out loud ♪ ♪ And say in your head ♪ ♪ Ready steady off we go ♪ ♪ One last time ready ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ Very good.

We're going to call this section, section B.

Which I've coloured purple so that we can remember.

Okay.

Let's put section A and section B together in an order.

That means we are going to structure our sections in a piece.

We're going to structure.

We're going to put it into a structure.

Structure.

Now how we structure our music is the order that we put our sections in.

Now we've created two sections, section A and section B.

And we want to put them into an order.

Now, we'll start with section A.

And then we'll go into section B.

What could come next? Well, we could create a whole new section with different rhythms and different sounds called section C, but why don't we repeat a section that we've already had? So we have A and then B and then why don't we go back to section A? So our structure is A, then B, then A.

Let's take a look at our rhythms. Okay.

So on the top line, we have section A.

On the second line we have section B.

But remember that our structure means that after we've done A, and B, we go back to section A to finish and then we stop.

Let's say it through.

Ready? One, two, ♪ And off we go ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Ta Ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ And stop.

Very good.

That's our section A, then B and then a.

Let's say it one more time.

And this time when we go back to section A, I'll put my hand on my head because we are going back to the top.

And when we stop.

I will do a little motion like this with my hand to grab, which is like a stop sign.

Here we go.

One, two, say it.

Here we go.

♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ ♪ Ta ah-ah-ah ta ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-Ka ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti ti ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka ♪ Stop.

Very nice.

Okay.

Let's clap it all the way through.

Clap and say A and then B and then A, here we go.

One, two, ♪ Ready off we go ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka shh ♪ ♪ Ta-ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Ta shh ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka shh ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka shh.

♪ Very good.

Let's do it one more time.

You don't have to tap your head and you don't have to close your hand when we finish.

Just concentrate on clapping and saying the rhythms. Here we go.

From the top.

Ready? One, two.

♪ And off we go ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ta ♪ ♪ Ta-ah ♪ ♪ Ti-ti ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-ka shh ♪ ♪ Ta ah-ah-ah ♪ ♪ Ta shh ♪ ♪ Ti-ka-ti-Ka shh.

Okay.

One last time.

But this time, you know what's going to happen.

We're going to do it just claps only and we're going to say it in our heads.

Here we go.

One, two, three.

Here we go.

Very good.

One more time.

♪ Ready steady off we go ♪ Great job! Very, very well done.

That is our composed piece.

Great performance.

Pause the video now so that you can practise clapping your composition all the way through.

Say the rhythm first then clap and say the rhythm.

And then finally clap only.

If you would like to practise once more together, rewind 20 seconds and we can go through each step.

When you're ready to continue click the play button.

A huge well done for all of your work today.

Great job! Now from this whole unit, you can now find the pulse in a piece of music.

You can understand and use different types of notes.

You can read two bar rhythms, brilliant! And you can compose and perform your own rhythms. If you would like to share any of your work with Oak National, please ask a parent or a carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and tag @OakNational and #LearnwithOak.

A huge well done for every single activity that you have succeeded at over the whole unit on rhythm.

A big well done to you all.

keep practising each of the activities.

And I hope that you're having fun with it all.

Until our next unit.

Goodbye.
