Workshops on notes and counting beats - Erasmus - Poland

1. Workshops on notes
and counting beats

2. First, the teacher explained what
notes are and how they are
divided.
Students could practise and
actually see the devision.

3. The division

5. Then together with the teacher
students practised counting the
notes with the use of scales.

7. After the scales task, the time came for
more practical activities with musical
instruments.

8. The teacher prepared
a special board with
some popular
melodies from
France, The Czech
Republic and
Finland.

9. Each song had a different metre.
4/4 France
3/4 The Czech Rep.
2/4 Finland

10. Students got divided into three groups
according to colours on the music board.
These were: red (back row), blue (middle
row) and green (front row).

11. The teacher played the theme on the piano and the
groups followed the notes on the board. The red
group had the main rythm and the other two played
additional rythms.

13. Children also sang a song about notes,
rythms and metres. The song is rather
difficult to play as the metres in the stanza
(3/4) and in the chorus (4/4) change.
