Im sure its nerveracking. You enter a whole different world then your used to. Being on the other side of the TV(camera) can be intimidating. They have people that tell you what to say and what not to say, dress you up and change the way you look. Things are edited so you may or may not say something stupid, that is unless they want us to hear or see that. Im sure its fun at some point to win all the money and prizes.

    I think it depends on the show, if you enter as a single person or it is a team game. Some shows like 'Deal or No Deal' seem to have a excellent Team Spirit as they stay with each other for quite a few days and all seem very relaxed. An old show like the BBC's It's A Knockout just looks great fun and they win no money!!

Our spring studio recital is quickly approaching! We’re in the final stretch of repertoire preparation, and it’s time to put on all of the finishing touches – the musical details that make our pieces convey emotion, or tell a story to the audience.

Last week at group lessons, I used this new listening activity to tune my elementary students ears into musical details before they performed their recital pieces for their peers. We listened to a, and used this worksheet to explore the differences between the three “clocks” in the piece: After we had talked through why this piece sounded like a clock, and how the composer made all three clocks different (dynamics, articulations, location of the melody), we listened to the whole piece and used the manipulatives below to diagram the form. Students “hung” clocks on the living room wall in the order they heard them: We discovered the song was written in rondo form! As a follow-up to the listening activity, I gave students the option to start a new, clock-themed composer’s challenge: They’ll be reinforcing their ear for musical details as they create three unique clocks of their own, then weave them together into various musical forms. To use this activity, you’ll need a recording of The Syncopated Clock. I opted to use a piano-based version of this piece, rather than an orchestral recording, since I wanted my students to apply what they heard to the piano pieces they will be performing soon!

Droid Razr Utility 1.6 there. Is the recording I used. You can also find a couple of (including a fun player-piano version!).

In both the piano duet and the piano-percussion recordings, the placement of the melody moves between sections. You’ll find them on the Group Activities page, but these could definitely work in a private lesson, too! (Note: I have to give some credit for the inspiration behind this particular activity to the WONDERFUL listening resources on the. Most of their listening activities use orchestral music, but there are a few piano pieces on the list.

If you’re not familiar with them, they’re definitely worth checking out!! In this activity, students explore the form and musical elements of 'The Syncopated Clock.' Listen to each 'clock' of the song, and jot answers down on the worksheet page. Next, listen to the entire song and 'hang' the clock manipulatives in order on the living room wall to show the form of the piece! You will need a recording (preferable a piano recording) of the piece to complete this activity. Click View Post for more details and instructions.

Hi Jen – love your things – we used the Syncopated Clock Listening Activity with third grade today as part of our Form unit, and it was very successful. I plan to use it again next year. I did have a question – would you consider tweaking the page with the clocks to have more of the alarm clocks and fewer of the old fashioned clocks, since students need two alarm clocks for the C section, and only one old fashioned clock for the B section? I wish I could make that change myself, but I don’t have software that would let me. Thanks for the good stuff!
