2. Think: Points to Ponder When Teaching Timbre.
1. how do I teach the difference between
speaking and singing?
(For grade 1)
Example:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
3. 2. How do I teach different qualities of sound?
(For grade 1 to 3)
Choose an easy song that the students are familiar
with.
While the students sings, instruct the entire class to
listen and to compare the qualities of voices.
Use to play a recording of different sounds found in
the environment.
4. 3. How Do I Present the topic about different
Musical Instrument (For grade 4 to 6)
Prepare audio recordings along with
visuals or pictures of the instruments being
taught.
Plays the recording frequently so that the
students can take note of the differences
between the instrument.
5. 4. How do I teach them the differences between SATB
(SOPRANO,ALTO,TENOR AND BASE)
Teachers find an audio or a video
recording of a duet between two females
voices .
Teachers may use a recording of a full
SATB choir for the students to listen to.
6. Soprano – A high female (or boy’s)
voice
Alto – A low female (or boy’s) voice
Tenor – A high (adult) male voice
Bass – A low (adult) male voice
