One of the aspects that I have found Year 9 students struggle with in my experience, particularly at the beginning of the course, is musical theory. To become better musicians, we all must work hard to grasp these concepts- even if they appear challenging at first. Even famous rock stars respect the challenge of musical theory.
To help me continue to plan your work, I need some more help by answering the following questions:
1. What specific areas of musical theory have you struggled with in Year 7 and 8? (if it all came fairly easily to you, please let me know that also).
2. What activities/teaching strategies could I use in the classroom to help improve your musical theory skills and understanding? Any ideas are good ideas. What could I do to help make this easier for you to learn?
3. If musical theory is easy for you, what kind of extension activities would you like to receive that you think would extend your skills?
Please post your comments by Friday 5pm this week.
