Transcript Elements of Music - Woodland Middle School Music

Elements of Music:
•
•
•
•
Rhythm (duration/length of the notes)
Dynamics (volume)
Melody (pitch – up or down, high or low)
Harmony (what sounds good with the
melody?)
• Tone color (what instrument, what register)
• Texture (one voice, lots of voices, instruments?
thick or thin)
• Form (How is the piece set up)?
1
Beat Vs. Rhythm
• Beat: Steady and regular pulse in music (like
your heartbeat or the tick-tock of a clock)
• Rhythm: flow of music through time. Rhythm
is built on the beat but does not need to be
regular and steady (like a drum solo)

Let’s practice!
• Bon Jovi - Livin’ on a Prayer

Beat vs. rhythm review
•
•
•
•
Beat stays the same, rhythm changes
Quarter notes: 1 beat (ta)
8th notes: ½ beat each (ti), often appear together
Half notes: 2 beats each (ta-a)
Practice: Find the beat of Row Your Boat (pat on legs)
– keep it steady, don’t speed up
Find the rhythm: clap the rhythm (not the same as
the beat!)

Melody – what are the main notes or
pitches that make up a song? (usually 1 line
of music, all of the others are “backup” or
“harmony)
• Famous melodies
• Ode to Joy (Beethoven)
• Queen of the Night Aria (voice) (Mozart)

Harmony
• Harmony - the combination of different musical
notes played or sung at the same time to produce a
pleasing sound
• Dissonance – notes sounded together that have a
displeasing sound – usually on purpose, to provide
musical suspense for the listener
• The Entertainer: (Melody in green and to the right,
harmony in
blue)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSZxmZm
BfnU
• Toccata and Fugue, D minor

Octaves & Intervals
• We only have 7 note names in the musical
alphabet (ABCDEFG)
• You can have a high A and a low A, and a lower A,
and the lowest A. They are all still A.
• Sometimes, we have intervals, 2 DIFFERENT notes
played at the same time. For example, A and C. A
and C are a minor 3rd away, (A, B, C = 3 full notes
away) and C and G are a perfect 5th away from
each other

Show me 1 for mostly melody (1
note at a time), 2 for mostly
harmony (2+ notes at a time)

• Monophonic – 1 melody line, nothing else
• Homophonic (everyone has the same rhythm, but not
always the same notes)
• Polyphonic – different notes AND different rhythms

Rhythm Review
Please have your notebooks & pencils ready, gum out, and use the
restroom/get a drink before class begins. It’s Friday – please don’t
make me take your locker break for talking, disrespect, tardiness, or
unpreparedness!

8th notes = ½ beat each
Quarter notes = 1 beat
Half = 2 beats
Dotted half = 3 beats
Whole = 4 beats
15
Form
• Form uses lots of letters! ABCD, etc
• Form means, how is the piece set up? The first
part of the song is A. If that part of the song
(melody) ever comes back, it is A again. A new
part would be C, then the next new part is D,
etc.
16
Form (how is the piece of music set
up)?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Strophic - AAAA
Binary – AB (sometimes AABB)
Ternary - ABA
Rondo (A keeps coming back) ABACAD etc
Arch - ABCBA
Sonata Form - Exposition: --- Development -- Recapitulation

How to Create your OWN – 8 beats
each (groups of 3ish)
• Rondo Form
• Try “ABACA”
Write a rhythm for A
• Write a NEW rhythm for B
• Bring the A section back again
• Write a NEW rhythm for C, different from A and B
• Bring the A section back again
• PRESENT
