In Class:
Pop quiz: define 'melody' as it pertains to our musical studies in the past week.
We continued the group melodic composition exercise and analyzed the resultant melody. Using a rhythmic guide, we constructed another melody as a class and analyzed its characteristics, effects, and affect. Then, each student constructed a lyrical line to correspond with the constructed melody and revised lines to emphasize more important words using melodic techniques.
Homework:
Write a four line stanza using an assigned sentence structure:
Use the subject that corresponds with your birth month (first and second column), a helping verbal phrase from the community bank (middle column), and a verb or verbal phrase that corresponds with your birth day (last two columns).
For example, a July 24th birthday guided stanza could read:
People like me cannot steal hearts,
But people like me have always stolen time.
People like me can steal thunder,
And people like me should not steal anything louder.
