         MAP LEVEL:
01.2 THE ARTS - MUSIC

01.2.6.0.3 -- Students will use appropriate terminology in explaining music, music notation, music instruments and voices, and music performances

01.2.6.5.1 -- Students will describe specific music events in a given aural example, using appropriate terminology

01.2.6.5.3 -- Students will demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles of meter, rhythm, tonality, intervals, chords and harmonic progressions in their analyses of music.

01.2.6.9.2 -- Students will demonstrate extensive knowledge of the technical vocabulary of music

01.2.6.9.3 -- Students will identify and explain compositional devices and techniques used to provide unity and variety and tension and release in a musical work, and give examples of other works that make similar uses of these devices and techniques.

01.2.7.5.1 -- Students will develop criteria for evaluating the quality and effectiveness of music performances and compositions and apply the criteria in their personal listening and performing

01.2 THE ARTS - MUSIC

01.2.7.5.2 -- Students will evaluate the quality and effectiveness of their own and others' performances, compositions, arrangements and improvisations by applying specific criteria appropriate for the style of the music, and offer constructive suggestions for improvement.

01.2.7.9.1 -- Students will evolve specific criteria for making informed, critical evaluations of the quality and effectiveness of performances, compositions, arrangements and improvisations and apply the criteria in their personal participation in music

01.2.7.9.2 -- Students will evaluate a performance, composition, arrangement or improvisation by comparing it to similar or exemplary models.

01.2.5.0.1 -- Students will read whole, half, dotted half, quarter and eighth notes and rests in 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 meter signatures

01.2.5.0.2 -- Students will use a system (that is, syllables, numbers or letters) to read simple pitch notation in the treble clef in major keys

01.2.5.0.3 -- Students will identify symbols and traditional terms referring to dynamics, tempo and articulation and interpret them correctly when performing

01.2 THE ARTS - MUSIC

01.2.5.5.3 -- Students will identify and define standard notation symbols for pitch, rhythm, dynamics, tempo, articulation and expression

01.2.5.5.4 -- Students will use standard notation to record their musical ideas and the musical ideas of others



What is a tonal modulation?
What are the main types of modulation?
What is a tonal center?














In this unit, the students will learn about modulation. The topics covered will include:
*Pivot chords
*Closely related keys
*Key relationships
*Modulation vs Mode shift
*Modulation via secondary dominant
*Modulation within modes (major to minor or minor to major)
*Common chords and their functions within two keys
*Compositions that incorporate modulations



IN this unit, the student will:
*identify common chords in closely related keys
*define all types of modulation
*demonstrate an understanding of pivot chords through compositions
*demonstrate an understanding of modulation via secondary dominant
*demonstrate an understanding of modulation via mode shifts



Students will:
*Compose 16 measure compositions that include modulations via pivot chord, relative key, mode shift and modulation via secondary dominant




Students will be assessed in this unit via:
*Compositions in which the student will compose correct harmonic progressions that contain modulations using pivot chords and/or sudden modulations, mode shifts, secondary dominants, closely related keys.
*Class work/work sheets
*Board work
*Class participation
