Mrs. Murphy's 3rd Grade Class
Students in Mrs. Murphy's 3rd grade class learned that Musical Form is a way to organize a song. They also discovered that if a song is not organized, "it would sound all mixed up and the audience would want to leave." We related the form of a song to a train because like a train, a song has different sections. Students listened to Johannes Brahm's Hungarian Dance No. 6 and filled in the sections of our musical train.
We then listened to a different song (Walking on Sunshine by the Bangles) and created a human Musical Form train.
