III. Procedure/ Learning Activities

A. Motivation
Feel your heartbeat and listen to its pulse. Is it fast? Slow? Or moderate? Is the beat steady? Or
quiet fluctuating? What happens to our heartbeat when we exercise? Did you know that music has
its own rhythmic pulse that follows a steady beat in order keep in time?

B. Discussion

Rhythm is the placement of sounds in time. A musical note is defined as a symbol that designates
the duration of a sound and how long a specific note should be played. A musical rest designates
the duration of a silence of sound. The diagram below shows the kinds of notes which is the whole,
half , quarter , eight and sixteenth note.

To better visualize the note value. It is composed of three parts - the stem, the flag and the head.

1
 These illustrates the value or the number of beats/counts of the musical notes and
rest. Take note that note and rest has different symbol but has the same value according to its beats
– but as said above, musical rest is played in silence.

The Dotted Notes and Rests

A dotted note is worth the full value of the original note plus another half of its value.

Example: The half note receives 2 beats but when a dot is added to it, the dot receives one-half of the value of
the half note, which is one beat. So, a dotted half note is equal to 3 beats. (Illustration below see the 1 st box on
the 2nd row)

ACTIVITY: Perform rhythmic dictation with all the given notes and rests above through clapping the specific
note value.

IV. ASSESSMENT

Draw the given note value and its equivalent beat/s in the box.

WEEK 2

I. Objectives:
1. Determine different types of time signature and understand its function in musical composition.
2. Conduct simple time signature 2/4, ¾, 4/4 through the use of expressive hand gestures/movement.

A. Review

 Listen to the hymn song “Ang Bayan ko” while clapping its steady beat/tempo.
How can you determine the downbeat and upbeat of the song?

B. Discussion
The time signature of a piece of music is that fraction-like pair of numbers found at the beginning
of a piece of sheet music:

Beats are grouped into bars, also called measures. For example, the first bar is called the 1 st
measure or measure 1. The next bar is the 2nd measure and so forth.

Here’s how it works:

 The top number in a time signature indicates how many beats will be present in a bar
 The bottom number in a time signature indicates what kind of note is considered one beat

In 4/4 time, therefore, that top number is telling us that each bar will have four beats, while the
bottom number indicates that the quarter note gets one beat. It can also be called as a common time,
thus it can appear in sheet music this way:

In 2/4 time signature, there are two beats in every measure. As explained above, the top number
indicates two beats in every measure and the lower number tells that the note that receives one beat
in a quarter note.

Example:

In ¾ time signature, The quarter note still gets one beat, but we now have three beats to a bar.

4
 It is important to remember that beat 1 is the strongest beat in the majority of simple time
signatures, and 4/4 is no exception. Beats 2 and 4 are the weak beats in the bar, with beat 3 being a
little bit more emphasized.

Here’s how to conduct simple time signatures:

C. ACTIVITY: Fill up the notes that correspond to the given time signature.

1. ¾ - _______________

2. 4/4 - ______________

3. 2/4 - _______________

IV. Assessment
Listen to the beat of the song given below and conduct the following time signature.

5
 V. Agreement
Practice conducting different time signature with an expressive use of hand movements.
