The iMusic Theory levels are an engaging way to teach your Music curriculum. Using iPads to aid the lesson, students will work through keyboard skills, scales, notes, chords and notation in a fun and engaging way. As students progress, they will improve coordination, rhythm, dexterity and ability to recognise different tones within an array of musical genres.
This is a basic introduction to Music Theory. Through these lessons the children will be introduced to basic musical symbols as well as learning what importance they have within music; they will be taught different styles of world music and be encouraged to ask analytical questions; the children will be shown different musical instruments commonly used nationally and internationally. Finally, basic notation is the last thing to be taught introducing the children to Crotchets minims and semibreves.
This is a continuation of Music Theory Lite Level 1. This course focuses on three main areas of music and theory; Film Composition, Genre and Improvisation and Creativity. Each week students will be tasked with analysing and responding to a film score taken from Disney’s Fantasia. Students will then analyse a specific genre of music relating to an alternative score to Fantasia, learning about instrumentation, the working parts of popular instruments as well as being given the chance to improvise using a keyboard in a specific style.
This is an introduction to reading and playing music. Students will learn basic keyboard skills to help understand how to play notes and chords. By working through a number of exercises looking at notation, timing and rhythm, students will learn how to read music in the treble clef and perform a song to the class.
iMusic Theory Level 2 will progress each student's understanding further by teaching about different types of music dating back to the Baroque era. Each learning session will be a journey, applying knowledge learnt in Level 1 to perform songs, while developing understanding of not only reading music but the understanding of key, pitch and timbre as new instruments get introduced.
iMusic Theory Level 3 will combine elements covered in Levels 1 and 2, however it will require students to create their own melodies. To complete this level, students will need to listen and use their knowledge to compose their own song and present it in notation form, in addition to performing it to the class.
