Thriller / Popular Artist objectives:
Understand and recognize
The styles and genres of
artists being
studied.
Understand the
background/life stories of
artists being studied.
Name 1 key point and 1
famous song from each
artist.
Put artists in appropriate genre catergories
Sound - The instruments and sounds used to make music
Harmony - Anything pertaining to the accompaniment or background
Melody- The "tune" which identifies the song
Emotion - Feelings, Images, or Thoughts expressed in the music.
Rhythm - Tempo and rhythmic patterns or "beat" which define the song.
Form - The Structure of the song, which part happens first, next, last?
Typically,most 7th graders fall victim to music marketing, and ignore the actual elements of the music. Use this as the guideline to introduce these concepts. You can include other "units" into each category, (Note durations under Rhythm; Staff for Melody; chords for harmony; Instrument families for Sound, etc.) Eventually, the kids should have the vocabulary to express what they hear in the music. They can even use the elements to compare and contrast different pieces, or different performances of the same piece; they can even define specific genres and musical periods through the 6 elements. (Baroque tends to use more polyphonic harmony; Classical, more Homophonic.)
