(A Minor Scale)
The A Minor mat teaches the notes of the musical alphabet. Historically, the C major diatonic scale is the first melodic experience a child/early learner hears. C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C or DO-RE-ME-FA-SO-LA-TE-DO.
Going against the norm,
I discovered that teaching the (7) notes beginning with (A) (CAN BE Exception to the rule) more in sync with the student/early learner classroom experience, when learning the (26) letters of the alphabet.
I’ll teach the (5) Sharps and Flats, in conjunction with the (7) A-B-C-D-E-F-G letters. I also explain that the notes can be arranged in different order or sequence, as are letters in written and spoken words. They understand this theory without complication of the C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C / ABCDEFG etc. Alphabet concept.
This concept of teaching the first letter of the musical alphabet A, opposed to C, has been a positive teaching experience.
I’m sure there are objections to stay with the old school concept, without trying this theory. I teach the C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C diatonic scale in conjunction with Alphabet (A) theory. I also teach the theory of the octave. Note number 8.
However you decide to teach, the A Minor Mat will be an excellent tool for students. As noted, in my color-coded system, the A-B-C-D-E-F-G, are Boomwhacker colors. Matching the MrMikes Notes Tiles is a tactile, hand-on learning activity that speeds up the students learning process. And, It’s Fun.
(Notes of the Musical Alphabet)
Historically, the C major diatonic scale is the first melodic theory/scale a child/early learner is taught. C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C or Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Te-Do. I discovered that teaching the (7) notes beginning with A is (can be) much more in sync with the early learning classroom learning of the (26) letters of the alphabet. I teach them that these (7) are the musical alphabet. I later add the (5) sharps and flats to this lesson plan. I explain that the notes can be arranged in different order or sequence, as are letters for words.
The simple concept of teaching, beginning with the letter A, opposed to the C scale has been a positive teaching experience. When teaching the C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C scale, I teach the theory of the octave C. As noted in my color-coded system, the A-B-C-D-E-F-G, are Boomwhacker colors.
MrMikesMusicMats, Note Tiles is a hands on-tactile activity that speeds up the students learning process. And It’s Fun.
