    TEACHER’S ACTIVITY PUPIL’S ACTIVITY


    A. MOTIVATION

    Before we proceed to our lesson for today,


    I know all of you here know how to sing
    right? I want all of you sing this song that I’m
    going to play .

    (Playing a video with a person playing a


    keyboard)

    Do you have an idea what’s our topic today?


    Students are singing
    B. PRESENTATION

    In connection to our topic for today, we will


    be learning the major scales and chord

    Are you ready?


    Yes, Ma’am

    C. LESSON PROPER

    What is Major scale?


    A scale is a sequence of notes in ascending and
    descending order. While there are many types
    of scales, all of them have their foundation in the
    major scale. It is the most commonly used scale
    in Western music going back for hundreds and
    hundreds of years.

    All major scales use the following pattern of half-


    steps and whole-steps (as reviewed in "required
    skills"). The numbers represent different scale
    degrees (notes). W = whole-step and H = half-
    step.

    Using this pattern, any major scale can be


    constructed given any note and a scale degree.

    - The major scale is constructed with this


    formula. W’s represent whole steps and H’s
    represent half-steps.
    - Let’s build a C Major Scale. Our starting note
    will be C.

    Semitone- the smallest interval on the piano.


    It’s the closest note to another note.
    AKA: Half-step
    C-C#, C#-D, D-D#, D#-E, E but semitone
    above E? it’s just the next note on the piano
    which is F
    In this case of course all these are
    semitones
    F-F#, F#-G, G-G#, G#-A, A-A#, A#-B, B-C

    Tone- two semitones, AKA: whole step/tone


    C-D, C#-D#, D-E but what about a tone
    above E? F# that’s semitone from E-F and a
    semitone from F-F# and F#-G, G-A, A-B, B-
    C#, C#-D

    Always remember that major scales are the


    most important piano scales:
    firstly, because they are very common and,
    secondly, because they are fundamental to
    understand keys.

    Just like in learning the basic fundamentals


    in dancing, without basics, you can master a
    choreography, but you might not be able to
    choreograph on your own. If you don’t learn
    the basics you will build on incorrect
    technique. If you want to be a good or great
    dancer you have to start with the basics.

    Major has 4 semitones and 3 semitones


    step and minor has 3 semitones and 4
    Semitones
    C major chord is made up of three notes
    ( C - E - G)
    we have to count 4 half steps 1,2,3,4 then
    we have to count 3 half steps 1,2,3
    When we play it all together makes our
    C major chord.

    D minor is made up of three notes


    (D-F-A)
    We have to count 3 half steps 1,2,3, then we
    have to count 1,2,3,4
    When we play it all together makes our D
    minor chord.

    In E minor, who wants to volunteer?


    How many half steps in E minor to make
    E minor chord? Student’s participating
    Count 3 half steps 1,2,3, then
    4 half steps count 1,2,3,4

    When we play it all together makes our E E minor (notes: E - G - B)


    minor chord.

    How about F major chords? Count 4 half steps 1,2,3,4 then


    3 half steps 1,2,3
    F major (notes: F - A - C)

    When we play it all together makes our


    F major chord.

    G major (notes: G - B - D)
    A minor (notes: A - C - E)
    B diminished (notes: B - D - F)

    If you composed a song using the key of C


    the chords that you are going to use would
    be C,D,E,F,G,A,B but if we will composed a
    song using the key of G what could be the
    chords we will be using? G,A,B,C,D,E,F diminished

    Great!
    Now, what questions do you have in your
    mind?

    If you don’t have any question I will be the


    one to ask you.

    Why do you think it is important to know the


    pattern in major scale what’s the purpose
    why we have to learn about it? It is important to learn the pattern
    so that we are aware of the
    chords we will use and other keys
    as well.

    That’s correct!

    For example, if you are familiar with the g


    major scale, you will know what chords to
    create in order to compose your own song.

    APPLICATION

    In 1/4 sheet of paper, I want you to create a


    chords using the G major scale.

    I will give you some example of C major


    (C-G-AM-F-G) while playing the piano

    I will give you 5 minutes to complete the


    task.

    Are you all done? Yes, Ma’am

    I want someone to volunteer in front to play


    the the chords he/she create using the G
    major scale. Student is participating
    G- D - C - D - G - D

    Give him/her around of applause!


    Very good!

    IV. GENERALIZATION

    Now, let’s have some recap if you are really


    listening.

    What is Major scale? A scale is a sequence of notes in


    ascending and descending order.
    While there are many types of
    scales, all of them
    have their foundation in the major
    scale. It is the most commonly
    used scale in Western music
    going back for hundreds and
    hundreds of years.

    All major scales use the following


    pattern of half-steps and whole-
    steps (as reviewed in "required
    skills"). The numbers represent
    different scale degrees (notes). W
    = whole-step and H = half-step.

    What are the chords of C major scale? C,D,E,F,G,A,B

    How can you make chords using C major We have to count 4 half steps
    scale? 1,2,3,4 then we have to count 3
    half steps 1,2,3
    When we play it all together
    makes our c major chord.

    V. EVALUATION
    F G A Bb C D E.
    1. What are the notes in F major scale?

    Half step
    2. What is the other term called Semitones?

    3. What are the notes in the C Major scale?


    a. C D E F G A B
    b. C D# E F Gb A B
    c. C D E F# G A Bb A. C,D,E,F,G,A,B
    d. C D# E F G Ab B

    Explanation: this is the correct sequence of


    notes in the C Major scale. In the C Major
    scale,
    there are no sharps or flats, so the notes are
    All natural. The C major scale is a
    fundamental scale in music theory and is
    often used as reference point for understanding
    other scale and chords.

    4. Which notes on a piano keyboard do not


    have a black key between them?
    a. A,B &F,G
    b. C,D & F,G
    c. A,B & D,E D. B,C &E,F
    d. B,C & E,F

    Explanation: The notes B,C, and E,F on a piano


    do not have a black key between them. This
    is because the black keys on a
    piano are sharps or flats, and these notes
    do
    not have a sharp or flat between them.

    5. How many notes are there in the G major


    scale?
    a. 8
    b. 7 A. 8
    c. 6
    d. 5

    Explanation: there are 8 notes in each scale


    for example in C major, c major scale has
    C, D, E,F, G, A,B and the higher is C.
