Lesson Content

Colour Wheel On Secondary Colours & Classification Of Local Musical Instruments In Chordophone

secondary Colours: These are colours formed by mixing two primary colours.
They are:

orange (Red + Yellow)
Green (blue + Yellow)
Purple (Blue + Red)

Chordophone Instruments: These are local musical instruments that produce sound by vibrating strings.
Examples are:

Kora
Goje
Zither
Guitar (local variant)
Molo

Using a Colour Wheel

A colour wheel arranges colours to show relationships. Mixing equal amounts of two primary paint colours produces a secondary colour: red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, while blue and red make purple. Actual shades vary with the pigments and quantities used.

Chordophones

A chordophone produces sound mainly through vibrating strings. The strings may be plucked, bowed or struck, and the body of the instrument helps amplify the vibration. Kora, goje and molo are examples associated with African musical traditions. Pupils should classify an instrument by how its sound is produced, not merely by its shape.

Lesson Keywords

Secondary Colours – Colours formed by mixing two primary colours.
Chordophone Instruments – Musical instruments that produce sound by vibrating strings.
Kora – A long-necked harp lute with 21 strings, originating from West Africa.
Goje – A one-stringed fiddle used in traditional Hausa music.
Zither – A stringed instrument with a flat body, played horizontally.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

Mention the secondary colours and how they are formed.
identify three local chordophone instruments.
Mix primary colours to form one secondary colour.
Explain the importance of chordophone instruments in cultural music.

Assignment/Homework

List five examples of chordophone instruments found in Nigeria.
Create a colour wheel showing primary and secondary colours.
Research the cultural significance of a local chordophone instrument in your community.

Differentiation

For slower learners: Provide simplified diagrams and one-on-one assistance during colour mixing.
For advanced learners: Challenge them to create tertiary colours and research the history of chordophone instruments.
For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids, play recordings of chordophone music, and allow hands-on exploration of colour mixing.

Note for Teachers

Prepare the instructional materials in advance to ensure smooth demonstrations. Encourage active participation by allowing pupils to mix colours themselves.Use local examples of chordophone instruments for better relatability. Happy teaching!
