*LESSON 3: MUSIC – The Brass Family of the Orchestra.
Hi Year 5, welcome back to Module 2 of your Jam-Bus Online Music lessons with me, Mr Spoerer. Well done to all of you who have been logging in and creating some amazing music for us all over the last module. Thank you for being part of it and well done if you received virtual Jam-Bus Certificates for your awesome work. I LOVED all of your various Adele performances of “Make you feel my Love.” It’s a beautiful song, and to you keyboard players, signers and singers, I’m proud of you. Well done for your bonus 1000 YUMU coins.
This Module we are going to be exploring “The Orchestra” which is truly the biggest most awe inspiring style of music because it involves so many people playing so many different types musical instruments.
The Orchestral Family.
The String section. The Woodwind section. The Brass Section. The Percussion Section.
WALT: How to learn the different “TIMBRES” or “sounds” of each instrument in the “Brass Section” of the Orchestra and be able to identify them just from hearing each instrument’s “Quality of Sound.” This is what Timbre means. It’s a french word that means exactly how an instrument sounds, and the different noises an instrument can make and how it makes that noise.
In this lesson we’ll focus on the Pitch, (high or low notes) of each instrument and the name of each pitch. The highest being Soprano, Mid to high Alto, Mid to Low Tenor and lowest which is Bass. We’ll also explore the use of the mouthpiece and “Lip buzz” that creates the timbre of the Brass Section.
We’ll also know the names of each instrument in the Brass Section.
The highest being the Soprano, Trumpet Mid to high Alto / Tenor French Horn, Low Tenor Trombones and lowest bass sound, the Tuba.
Watch this video to learn the names and sounds of the “Brass section” of the Orchestra.
