Pre Assessments help in understanding students prior knowledge and understanding of the Unit and helps the teacher prepare in accordance to suit each student's needs. For this Unit, the students have been asked to use a recording device like an ipad/laptop/mac to record their singing for a minimum of 30 seconds to a maximum of 2 minutes and then, on the same recording, reply to questions about their understanding about the Unit - Melody and Vocal Exploration. As the Unit has just begun, I am expecting unbelievable answers to the questions. The recording process is also to promote students to listen to themselves and realise about their vocal timbre and their ability to pitch high or low and maintain the correct pitch. This is done acapella (without using any musical instrument) which brings out absolute clarity in the vocal ability.
The questions that have been assigned to be answered by the students at the end of the recording are listed below:-
1) What according to you is Melody?
2) How would you define Vocal Exploration?
3) How would you explain pitch?
4) Do you like to sing high notes or low? Why?
The students have been asked to email their assignments to me which helps me maintain their records in their digital portfolios and is accessible anytime and anywhere. I am attaching the video of the song for ready reference.
