How to make a crossword on music?

Now I’ll tell you a little about how I made this miracle. Helped me program for creating crosswords entitled Crossword Creator. It is free, very easy to find on the Internet and install (weighs about 20 MB - that is, not much). Before I started this program, I tried a number of others. This one seemed the best to me.

As you can see, I didn’t include many words for guessing in my musical crossword puzzle - only 27. You can use any number of words. The list of required words is simply entered into the program window, which itself then distributes them vertically and horizontally and beautifully crosses them.

All we have to do is choose a design style, and then download the finished crossword puzzle. Moreover, you can download several necessary files at once: a crossword puzzle without answers, or one with filled-in cells, a list of all answers, and a list of questions. True, the questions are taken from different dictionaries, so most likely the questionnaire will have to be adjusted. For the music crossword example I showed you, I wrote the questions by hand.

Now a very important point. How to output the crossword itself into a graphic file? There is no separate function for exporting to other formats in the Crossword Creator program. Essentially, we just copy the image and then paste it wherever we want. It is best to paste it into some graphic editor: Photoshop, for example. The easiest way is in standard Paint, or you can directly in Word, in the same file where you have the questions.

One technical point. After the picture is inserted into the graphic editor, click "Save as", then enter the name and ( important!) select the format. The fact is that in Paint the default bitmap is bmp, and Photoshop has its own format, but it is most profitable for us to save the image in JPEG format, so we select it.

Conclusion.

Your music crossword is ready. Thank you for attention. If you find this material “useful for society,” please send it to “Contact”, “My World” or somewhere else - there are buttons for this right under this text. See you again!

How to increase interest in knowledge in our age? How to instill in children a desire to know more and more? These questions undoubtedly concern every teacher. It is gratifying that interesting programs for developing the mind have begun to appear on television, but they are not enough. Therefore, I believe that it is necessary, using various forms, to play the erudite. I would like to see our students as smart and witty children. Let them show off their talent and their knowledge of music.

This is not the first time that a musical game has been held at our school. It can be carried out during the school subject ten-day period, at the end of the topic of the semester or year. In this article I offer an example of a musical game “What? Where? When?" on the topic “In the world of musical instruments” for 7th grade students.

Goals and objectives:

• Expand your understanding of musical instruments;
• encourage students to independently acquire knowledge in the field of music; help to demonstrate your own erudition and ingenuity, as well as creative abilities;
• contribute to the formation of the spiritual culture of schoolchildren, the development of communicative qualities of the individual.

Lesson equipment: screen, projector, envelopes with questions, playing field, spinning top, images of musical instruments, paper, markers, table with scores, “black box”.

Characters: presenter, team of “experts”, team of “TV viewers”. The teacher acts as a presenter, selects a team of “experts” (5-6 people), the rest of the students act as “TV viewers”, participate in the game and comment on the questions. Students who independently prepared questions included in the game also take places among the “TV viewers.”

Opening remarks by the presenter: Dear guys! Today's meeting will be unusual. We will hold a musical game “What? Where? When?". And it will be dedicated to musical instruments, which you already know a lot about thanks to music lessons and MHC, as well as independent acquaintance with them.

One of the outstanding guitarists of the last century once compared musical instruments to islands in the ocean of music. He considered the guitar his island. I will be happy if our meeting today helps you not only to navigate well in this sea and islands, but also to find your island in the ocean of sounds.

And now I will ask the team of experts to take their places at the gaming table.

(Musical intro: “What is our life?.. A game!”)

Host: Dear experts, I remind you that 12 envelopes with questions from our “TV viewers” ​​are laid out on the playing field. For one correct answer, the team receives 1 point. The count goes up to 6 points. Choose a team captain.

So, let's start the game!

(A gong is heard, which will sound before each round in the future. The team captain spins the top and selects one of the envelopes).

Round 1.

Presenter: In one minute you need to write in the frames the names of the musical instruments played by the heroes of books and fairy tales. ( Annex 1)

Answer: Orpheus played the cithara, Lel played the flute, Bayan and Sadko played the gusli, Sherlock Holmes played the violin, Gena the Crocodile played the accordion, Dunno played the tuba, Kobzar played the kobza.

Presenter: Attention to the screen. Dear experts, in 1 minute you must name the instrument shown on the screen, tell what material it is made of and how it is played. (Appendices 2, 3)

Answer: These are bagpipes. The air reservoir (fur, bag) is made of goatskin or calfskin, sometimes from an animal's bladder. Several tubes are inserted into it. Through one, air is pumped into the bag and it inflates like a balloon. Other tubes play sounds that accompany the melody. The sounds go on continuously, because... The piper holds the instrument under his arm and presses his elbow towards him.

Host: Different types of art have their own symbols, emblems, etc. You can see some of them on the screen (Appendix 4).

Dear experts, do you know what the emblem of musical art is? Draw it on paper in 1 minute.

Answer: This is a picture of a lyre. ( Appendix 5)

Presenter: Dear experts, here is an ancient manuscript of the 11th century (Appendix 6). In 1 minute you have to guess the riddle - what do these signs mean?

Answer: This ancient manuscript depicts the symbols of the medieval music notation system. These are neuromas. They indicate the ascending and descending movement of the melody, without determining the exact pitch of the sounds. From neumas later musical notations emerged.

Presenter: Attention! Listen to a piece of music. (Sounds “Habanera” by M. Ravel)

Composer M. Ravel commissioned the trumpet to perform this beautiful melody. Attention, question: name the object thanks to which the musician performing this melody achieves such a soft, “velvety” trumpet sound?

Answer: This item is a mute, which is inserted into the bell of a wind instrument. Thanks to this, its sound becomes muffled and soft.

Host: Look at the screen (Appendix 7). This musical instrument has existed for more than 2000 years. He alone can replace the choral and instrumental chapel. It is played with hands and even feet on special keyboards. In the hands of one performer it is a whole brass band. Attention, question: One of the journalists wrote about the organ that it is “wise, secretive and lonely.” Explain what he meant?

Answer: The organ is “wise” because it has absorbed the culture of thousands of years; “lonely” because it is the only keyboard-wind instrument; “hidden” because it cannot be seen in its entirety (we can only see its façade).

Question: What musical instrument did the family of Italian craftsmen named Stradivari become famous for making?

Answer: Violin.

Host: At different times, different nations called musicians differently. Take a look at this list (Appendix 8). Question: who is not a musician here? Cross out the extra:

Answer: A clown is not a musician .

Host: Dear experts, take a look at the screen. Here is an image of a hunting horn ( Appendix 9). It was blown as a signal during a hunt, army gathering, or some special event. In order for the sound to be heard over a long distance, the hunting horn had a huge length, sometimes 6-8 meters. It was extremely inconvenient to blow it. Attention, question: What solution did the musicians find, and what was the name of the new musical instrument?

Answer: A long hunting horn was “twisted” to form a French horn. (An image of a French horn appears on the screen. ( Appendix 10)

Host: You probably know the ancient Greek myth about the “musical competition” between Apollo and Pan. Let me remind you of it:

The god of the forests, Pan, challenged the god Apollo himself to a “musical competition.” After the gentle sounds of Pan's pipe, Apollo struck the golden strings of his cithara. The majestic sounds of his divine music flowed, a melody of wondrous beauty began to sound... When Apollo finished playing, the gods awarded him victory, and the saddened Pan retired into the thicket of the forests...

Thus, the ancient Greeks found that among all musical instruments, string instruments have the most beautiful, expressive, and most exciting sound.

Now attention question: Dear experts, tell me, how did the very first plucked string instrument come into being?

Answer: The first plucked string instrument arose from a hunting bow. As he pulled the bowstring, the hunter heard a pleasant, slowly fading sound. This is how the first plucked string instrument was born.

Presenter: Attention! Bring in the “black box”! (A “black box” is brought in to the music. It contains the following items: a comb, tissue paper, a tin jar, several peas, 2 pot lids, 2 wooden spoons). Dear experts, you need to build homemade musical instruments within 1 minute and demonstrate the sound of an “orchestra”.

Answer: experts demonstrate the sound of an “orchestra” - spoons, rattles, cymbals, harmonica.

Host: You have a Blitz tournament. Listen to the sound of a piece of music. (The play “Penzer Mystery” is performed by the Nenets ensemble “Syrasev”).

1. Name the musical instrument that played the music.
2. Explain its structure.
3. Who in Yamal was the direct owner of this musical instrument and why?

Answers:

Leading. Let's summarize our game. (Draws attention to the table with the score). There were no winners in our game today. The score is equal. Game over.
