Crossing Content Areas to Teach Musical
Expression!❖ How do we normally
address other content areas in advanced band, orchestra, or choir?
❖ History?
❖ Programatic?
❖ The Problem....
Quality!!!!Quality!!!!Relevant? Inferior? Would other disciplines do Relevant? Inferior? Would other disciplines do
this??this??
CURRICULUMCURRICULUM
My Goal for Today:❖ Expression!!
❖ How can we teach this? Tricky? Abstract?
❖ Enlist the help of Percy Grainger
❖ Expression connected to English, Poetry, Public Speaking, Math, and Physics.
Lesson 1Lesson 1Irish Tune from County Derry (Danny Boy)Irish Tune from County Derry (Danny Boy)
English, Poetry, Public SpeakingEnglish, Poetry, Public Speaking
Elements of Poetry
1. Voice ( Who is speaking?)2. Stanzas (How lines are grouped)3. Sound (includes rhyme, but also other patterns
and sounds)4. Rhythm ( What kind of beat or meter does the
poem have)5. Figure of Speech ( metaphors, figurative or
descriptive language)6. Form ( form of the poem - standard types of
poetry)
Elements of Public Speaking
1. Audience awareness (Who are you addressing? Why?)2. Positive Preparation ( Do you have a plan laid out ahead
of time?)3. Confident Content ( Confidence in yourself - only as
good as confidence in your content - Do you believe it?)4. Test delivery (Envision and rehearse the delivery)5. Validate Value ( Tie the previous points together by
asking, Do you value the audience? Do you value your own preparation? Do you value your expressive interpretation? Do you value rehearsal of the message and use of appropriate materials to convey a message?)
Elements of Poetry and Elements of Public
Speaking = Elements of Music?
YES!!

Note Grouping❖ Marcel Tabuteau
❖ Philadelphia Oboist, Master Teacher of Expression
❖ Numbering System - Note Grouping and Intensity Numbering
❖ Helps students analyze and discover expression in relation to study of the score or musical line
❖ Great Books for Further Study:
❖ Sound In Motion by David McGill
❖ Kincaidiana by John C. Krell
Math Connections
❖ Basic Level : Graphing and Charting - Intensity over time
❖ More Advanced - Area under certain counts
❖ Advanced - Graph equations - relate magnitude to integral calculus
Physics Connections
❖ Recording and Technology
❖ ASSESSMENT!!!
❖ Did we perform as marked? How does our performance equate to actual decibels, amplitude, parts of a sound wave?
