I canYo puedo

I can revise one bar of my own piece in answer to a response I was given and say what the change did.Puedo revisar un compás de mi pieza respondiendo a algo que me dijeron, y decir qué logró el cambio.

I know I have got it whenSé que lo logré cuando

  • I found which bar changed in the Do Now and said what the change did.Encontré cuál compás cambió en el Do Now y dije qué logró el cambio.

Warm-Up
The Bar They Named

  1. Breathe in for 4, out for 8.Inhala en 4, exhala en 8.
  2. The row with the recording, up and down.La fila con la grabación, subiendo y bajando.
  3. Read what you were told yesterday.Lee lo que te dijeron ayer.

I Do
Correction or Revision
Corrección o revisión

A correctionUna corrección

Fixes something WRONG. A bar that does not count. A note nobody can read.Arregla algo MAL. Un compás que no cuadra. Una nota que nadie puede leer.

A revisionUna revisión

Changes something that was FINE, because of what it did to a listener.Cambia algo que estaba BIEN, por lo que le hizo a quien escuchaba.

Bars 5 to 8, before above and after below. Only bar 7 is different.

Nothing in bar 7 was wrong. You choose which response to act on - feedback is information, not instruction.

We Do
Answer This One
Responde a esta
The response was: in bar 3, I stopped listening.
  1. That is what somebody heard.Eso fue lo que alguien oyó.
  2. What would you change in bar 3?¿Qué cambiarías en el compás 3?
  3. What would the change buy?¿Qué ganaría con el cambio?
  4. We play the original and yours, back to back.Tocamos el original y el tuyo, uno tras otro.

The first idea is usually to play it louder. Dynamics were last week. This response is about what the bar DOES.

Un compás, respondido
  1. Choose ONE response from your card.Elige UNA respuesta de tu tarjeta.

  4. Play the before and the after to the person who told you.Toca el antes y el después a quien te lo dijo.
  5. They say whether you answered them.Esa persona dice si le respondiste.
