10 Midi: Thursday January 29th

Thursday, January 30, 2014 | Edit Post

Unfortunately I will not be in class today.  Below is what you should be working on for the class:

Task #1:


  • Go to the "Grade 10" tab
  • Scroll down until you get to F+ and G+ chord scales. 
  • Open the file (or control-click to save to your desktop).  
  • Practice play the two chord scales (you have already learned F+ for the Marry You Lift).
If you are someone that has experience playing piano, please offer your assistance to other students in the class.

Task #2


  • Change the key to G+. 
  • Practice making different 4 and 8 bar chord progressions.  Here are some tips:
    • Start on I (most pieces of music do)
    • Next choose weaker chords (minor - ii, iii, vi)
    • End with strong chords (major - I, IV, V)

Task #3

Our next assignment is the 12-bar blues.  This style of song has a very specific chord pattern.  On the progression maker page, shorten the chord area to 4 bars, then add two more 4 bar sections using the "+" sign.

Create the following 12-bar pattern (one chord per bar).  After listening to it, open GarageBand and try to play the pattern yourself.

Have a great afternoon everyone and I will see you on Monday.
