In Class:
Distributed and reviewed missing work reports.
Mini-quiz: define melody.
Reviewed the process of integrating melody and lyrics (see notes from 7/9/13).
Practiced generating lyrics within constrains of melody using a collaborative creative exercise.
Discussed and defined genre: a classification of music based on lyrical, musical, affective, and cultural traits. Consider the nature of genre as a double-edged sword--it is a guiding factor for musicians and fans in some ways, but it also limits and narrowly defines the artistic/creative element of songwriting in other ways.
Independently, students worked on the following two assignments:
* Choose any genre about which you would like to learn more and complete the worksheet on common genre characteristics.
* Using at least one line or idea from our collaborative writing exercise, write two stanzas of 4+ lines.
Exit Ticket: Define genre.
Homework:
Finish the two assignments listed above.
