Enrichment and Review

As you introduce the chromatic scale, also review the musical alphabet and the enharmonic. You will note that sharps are used in the ascending parts while flats are used in the descending parts. (for example F# and Gb sound the same) Students may also notice patterns within the chromatic scale, one being the octave. (for example: parts {7 – 9} and {10 – 12} are octaves apart). You may include, and (or) establish variations of articulation as well.

Be sure and download the FREE Musical Alphabet & Enharmonic Poster. Post it in your room as you review concepts!
