Behavioral objectives: (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor)
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
 Definescale
 Mention the types of diatonic scale
 Stateand explain the intervals
Presentation: (step by step exposition of the material)
St e p 1 :
A scale is a group of notes arranged in ascending and descending order – just like a
stepwise movement or ladder.
Diatonic scale
It is built on tones and semitones (whole and half steps). A typical scale is made up
of eight musical notes. A scale works like a staircase, moving up from one step to
another up until it gets to the eighth note. And down back again from where it started.
St e p 2 :
Types of Diatonic scales
Major and minor, Harmonic and melodic scales
A major scale is built on tones and semitones (whole and half steps) entirely, except
for the two half tones in between the third and fourth degree and the seventh and
eighth degree. It has Five tones and two semitones.
St e p 3 :
Example d r m f s L t d’

Intervals involved here are T T St T T T St
T= Tone
ST= Semitone
While a minor scale Is built on the sixth degree of the major scale.

Intervals involved here are T St T T St T T

C o n cl u s i o n :
NOTE: The semitones do not occur in the same position as the major scale. They are
also made up of whole tones and half tones.
We have other types which are
Harmonic minor
Melodic minor
A s s ign m e n t :
 Mention 5 types of scale you know in music.
 With the aid of a diagram, give any example of a scale in ascending mode.

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

Presentation: (step by step exposition of the material)
St e p 1 :
The human voice consists of sounds made by a human being using the vocal tract
which includes, including talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, shouting or
yelling. A typical vocal musical arrangement sets the female and male folks into
higher and lower voices respectively.
Musically, the human voice is classified into four major parts or category namely,
soprano, contralto, tenor, bass.
This basic four voice types/parts make up a typical choir.
St e p 2 :
T h e f o u r m aj o r v o i ce par t s
Soprano – A high female voice / Treble which sound almost the same as soprano is
for young boys between the age of 4 to 12.
Alto – A low female voice
Tenor – A high male voice
Bass – A low male voice
These vocal classifications can be abbreviated as SATB.
St e p 3 :

Coloratura soprano – This is not really a soprano but a false kind of voice that
sounds like soprano and it’s unusually high, light and agile than the soprano voice.

INSTRUCTOR: KURUYE-ALELE S.A. 07065481642 [email protected]

Mezzo soprano – A voice in between soprano and alto.
Contralto – contralto and alto were originally referred to as the same voice. but some
people refer contralto as a female voice that is lower than a typical alto voice.
Countertenor – This is not really a tenor but a false kind of voice that sounds like
tenor and it’s a male voice that is unusually high, light and agile than the tenor voice.
Baritone – A male voice that falls in between tenor and bass.
C o n cl u s i o n :

Behavioral objectives: (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor)
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
 Define forms in music
 Mentionthe musical forms
 Stateand explain the progressions of the musical forms
Presentation: (step by step exposition of the material)
St e p 1 :
Form in music means design. Before composing a song, the composer must plan the
format or nature of the song.
St e p 2 :
Forms in music means design or structure. We have four types of forms in music:
 Binary form (A B)
 Ternary form (A B A)
 Rondo / Riternello (A B A C A)
 Theme and variation
St e p 3 :
Binary form is a musical form in two parts or two related sections, both of which are
usually represented. In music this is usually performed as A B. Binary form was very
popular during baroque era/period. Example of binary form song is Greensleeves.
Ternary form is a musical form consisting of three distinct sections, though it might
seem logical but it is usually schematized as ABA. Example of ternary form are: De
capo Aria, the trumpet shall sound by G.F. Handel. Chopin’s Prelude in D flat major.
Rondo / Riternello is a form which sometimes a principal theme is called a refrain,
alternating with one or more contrasting theme, generally called episodes. Examples
of rondo form song: Fur Elise.
Theme and Variation is a popular musical form which a composer states a melody
and repeats the melody severally with modifications each time the melody is
INSTRUCTOR: KURUYE-ALELE S.A. 07065481642 [email protected]
repeated to create interest or variety. Example of theme and variations: Harmonious
black smith.
C o n cl u s i o n :
Every piece or tune and a structure and that’s the beauty of the art. Without a proper
plan or structure, the piece will be Pattern-less.
A s s ign m e n t :
 What is form in music?
 Binary form means __________?
 How many types of forms do we have in music?

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
 Define keyboard instrument
 Mention the accidental signs on the keyboard
 Play the D Major scale on the keyboard
Presentation: (step by step exposition of the material)
St e p 1 :
Keyboard setting (tones and semitones) the keyboard is an instrument
built up of white and black keys or notes, e.g., Harpsichord, spinet, organ,
piano, etc.
White notes are called naturals and the black keys are sharps and flats.
The distance between each key is a semitone. A whole tone is two
semitones.
St e p 2:
Accidentals are signs used in the course of a piece of music to either raise,
lower or restore the pitches of certain notes.
