We first listened to each students selections for Melody. Each student explained why they chose this melody.
We started working on the Music Projects in class. Students wrote down a few compositions that they listen to on a regular basis, and began thinking about how that music relates to them. They will be continuing this assignment at home this week.
Assignments:
1-Listen to the Listening Examples for Rhythm, be ready to discuss next week
2-Write a few paragraphs on the music that is important in your life. Focus on the music that relates
to you, and reflects who you are in some way. Why do you love it? What does that say about you?
What do you hope it says about you?
3-Raid your music collection. Use the thoughts and comments you wrote above, and try to find the
music that best illustrates those ideas. Remember, you will be making an audio collage - so, be
thinking about the sounds and feelings that you want in your final project.
