Music

Hej och välkommen till min blogg! Du kommer att få information som rör musiken både här och på Showbie - koden till det sistnämnda får du vid behov!

Måndag, vecka 46

 Denna, och nästa vecka, ska vi öva ytterligare på att spela ackord och ackordföljder - men nu i grupper på tre. Jag har gjort grupperna och ni får reda på dessa när lektionen startar. Uppgiften ligger på Showbie och jag förklarar ytterligare under lektionen.

Måndag, vecka 45

 Välkomna tillbaka efter ledigheten! Idag fortsätter vi med ackord och ackordföljder men först av allt vill jag att du svarar på nedanstående;

Ackordföljder?

Sedan hittar du uppgiften på Showbie - lycka till!
Måndag, vecka 43

Vi ska nu börja med ackord och ackordföljder. Vi tittar på ett klipp där man visar hur många låtar som bygger på samma ackordföljd och sedan får du själv testa att klura ut ackordföljden till en relativt känd låt. Till vår hjälp med att spela tar vi "smart instruments" i Garageband. Instruktioner får du av mig under lektionen, uppgiften finns på Showbie.

Måndag, vecka 42

 Den här lektionen får du visa att du förstått hur tabulatur fungerar - uppgifterna finns på Showbie och koden får du av mig på lektionen.


Måndag, vecka 41

 Till dagens lektion fick ni alla i uppgift att leta rätt på ett riff, eller en melodi med tabulatur på Youtube.
Om du har glömt att göra det, eller inte hittat något så kan du öppna den här länken och se om det är något som passar.

Minns du inte hur tabulatur fungerar så kan du titta på länken tabs!

Fusk? Nej, inte alls, man måste förstå ackord och ackordföljd och tonarter för att låta "paddan" spela, dessutom låter det bra.
