Musical Pursuit
« on: July 20, 2020, 01:06:29 pm »
Hi,
Here is an updated version of musical pursuit, that I made. I wish I could remember who the o.p. was because it is pure gold! Not sure if your schools will allow you to do group work but maybe this could be played as an individual game? Let me know if you come up with any creative solutions for how it can be played. Anyways, it's a good lesson for after the exams are over.

P.s. sorry for the huge file size. I am an absolute novice when it comes to making fancy ppts so I don't know how to compress it :(

Great work.

Here are some ideas I've used for music lessons:

- After teaching some adjectives, have them listen to various genres and pick an adjective e.g. "I think Soul is ______"
- Gap-fill, write out a chorus, verse or whatever of your song of choice, on the board. omit a few words and have the students
listen and fill in what they can. (Give them a printout). I used A-ha's 'Take on Me' and Greenday's 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' for this.

I will say that I take this as an opportunity to expose them to music they've likely never heard. I don't see the point of playing too much K-pop, mainstream pop etc. to them, yes, it has it's uses, but part of the fun is to expose them to something new, whether they hate it or love it... At the end of the lesson, one girl asked me to write down the name of band I'd just played, she absolutely loved it... it was Slipknot.

I use genres for my lesson and try to cover everything including Metal, RnB, Funk, Country, Pop, Hip-Hop, Baroque, Traditional, EDM etc. I might even pick a genre like pop and show how it's changed throughout the years.

Thanks for the update. I was going to update it over chuseok weekend but  you beat me to it. My friend, Joy K-H, was the original creator of the Musical Pursuit. She has been back in America for a few years now. About 3 I think :)
