PLAYING MUSIC (Learner’s is listening)
After hearing that music we’ve been
played a while ago, what did you observe
about it?
Anyone? Miss Ampinon? The songs we listened Ma’am has
been join together or the music we’ve
been heared has two or more songs
that is being combined to form as
one.
Okay very good Miss Ampinon.
Then what is harmony children?
Harmony is the composite product
when individual musical voices
group together to form a cohesive
whole.
Okay children very good.
Think of an orchestra: the flute player
may be playing one note, the violinist
plays a different note, and the trombonist
plays yet a different note. But when their
individual parts are heard together,
harmony is created.
So, when different notes are being
combined or joined together we can build
what we called the harmony.
Did you understand children of what I am Yes teacher
saying?
DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN TEACHING MUSIC IN ELEMENTARY GRADE (TM)
What is harmony again? Anyone?
Miss Rapas? Harmony is the composite product
when individual musical voices
group together to form a cohesive
whole.
Okay very good Miss Rapas.
Let us clap our hands for Miss Rapas. Children are clapping
Okay since we all understand what
Harmony is, let us now proceed to its three
forms.
Harmony takes many forms. Here are the
three most popular and important forms
of harmony.
So the first most popular forms of
harmony is the Diatonic Harmony.
In your own understanding class,
what is diatonic harmony?
Miss Bugador? For me teacher, Diatonic harmony is
a chords or notes that can be found in
one scale.
Okay very good Miss Bugador. Children are clapping
Let us clap our hands for her.
Okay when we say Diatonic
harmony, like what Miss Bugador
said earlier it is music where the
notes and chords all trace back to
a master scale.
So if you’re in the key of Ab major, all the
notes and chords you play will be drawn
from the seven notes comprising the Ab
major scale. And if you’re not sure what
key you’re in, check the “key signature”—
the list of sharps and flats that appears at
the beginning of each system of musical
notation.
I have here an example of diatonic
harmony and please do familiarize of what
diatonic is.
PLAYING MUSIC Children are listening
What Diatonic Harmony again children? It is music where the notes and
chords all trace back to a master
scale.
Okay very good.
Now who can define what Non-diatonic is?
Anyone? Miss Linaga? For me Ma’am if the diatonic is a
music where the notes and chords all
trace back to a master scale, the non-
diatonic harmony for me is the notes
or chords that doesn’t have the same
master scale.
Okay very good Miss Linaga. Let us clap Childrena re clapping
our hands for her.
DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN TEACHING MUSIC IN ELEMENTARY GRADE (TM)
As what Miss Linaga said, the non-diatonic
harmony introduces notes that aren’t all
part of the same master scale. This form
of harmony is completely idiomatic to jazz,
but it appears in all forms of music. Let’s
say you’re in the key of Ab major and you
play a Bb7 chord.
That chord contains the note D, which is
definitely not in the Ab major scale. It
sounds a bit edgy, but it also tends to be
quite memorable.
I have here an example of non-diatonic
harmony class. Please listen for you to
understand very well and for you to be
familiar of what non-diatonic is.
PLAYING MSUIC Children are listening
What is Non-diatonic again Non-diatonic harmony teacher
children? introduces notes that aren’t all aprt of
the same master scale.
Okay very good children. Since
everybody understand what is
diatonic and non-diatonic is, let us
now proceed to the third forms
which is the atonal harmony.
For you children, in your own
understanding, what is Atonal
harmony?
Miss Gasulas? Atonality in its broadest sense is music
that lacks a tonal center, or key
Okay very good Miss Gasulas.
Thank you for that wonderful idea.
So, when we say Atonal Harmony this
form of harmony doesn’t have a tonal
center: it isn’t built on a scale that’s major
or minor, or that has an identifiable root. In
classical music, atonal music was largely
the brainchild of composer Arnold
Schoenberg.
So I have here again an example of Atonal
Harmony. Kindly listen to it for you to be
able to remember the sign of what is
atonal harmony is. Am I clear? Yes teacher
PLAYING MUSIC Children are listening
What is Atonal harmony again Atonal harmony teacher is a form of
children? harmony that doesn’t have a tonal
center.
Okay very good children.
Let us all clap our hands for the (children are clapping)

notes. So we must appreciate and give
value to harmony and the forms of it.
