Elements of Music Assignment (melody, harmony, rhythm, instrumentation)
Below are some good examples that would work well for this assignment:
- On your mp3 player (iPod), on youtube, or on a CD that you have at home, find a musical example that demonstrates an interesting melody, harmony, and/or rhythm. Make sure it is a piece of music you and the class have not heard before.
- Bring to class to show. All content (audio and video) must be clean.
- OR bring in examples of the same song with very different instrumentation.
- Be prepared to explain 1. What element of music (melody, harmony, rhythm, instrumentation) are you demonstrating with your example and 2. Why it is a good example of this element of music.
- If you choose to bring in examples of the same song with very different instrumentation, then be prepared to explain to the class what instruments are being used in each.
