Informal assessmentClass Experience
My name is Pam Irwin and I teach music on Outschool. - I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in music performance, specifically in flute. - I have been a freelance music teacher for twenty years. - I have been a classroom music teacher for fifteen years and during that time I taught middle and high school students on an informal basis. - I have prepared middle and high school students for solo and ensemble competitions and All state auditions. Students should have completed Flute 101, parts I and II OR be familiar with notes C, B, A, G (low and high octave), how to put a flute together, how to play simple melodies or have completed at least three months of band or a musical ensemble. The following topics will be covered: Week 1 - Review Lessons 1-6 and begin work on Lesson 7 - Eighth notes, slurring passages, duets in the key of C using eighth notes Week 2 - Review Lesson 7 and learn how to play E-flat; play pieces in the key of B-flat and F major.(Lesson 8) Week 3 - Review Lesson 8 and begin Lesson 9 -learning F#, introducing 3/4 time. Week 4 - review Lesson 9 and begin Lesson 10 - dotted quarter notes, extend knowledge of easy key signatures. Week 5 - Review Lesson 10 - begin Lesson 11 - C# and D-flat. Week 6 - Introducing 6/8 time and practicing it in various keys.
Learning Goals
Students will expand their knowledge of beginning flute techniques by adding new notes (E-flat, C# and D-flat), expand their knowledge of key signatures using one or two flats or sharps and learn pieces in 6/8 and 3/4 time signatures.
