Learning to Compose
 

Listen to two songs by another student:

Songs
by Lyndsey (12)
(Remember these titles so you can scroll way down the page...)

Jungle Drummer
The Fiddle's Tale


What did you hear? How many sounds did each song use? What kind of sounds were in each song? What was the mood for each song?
 



Learn about creating a song:

Oh When the Saints
 



What do you hear in this piece?

Glass Songs


Did this piece have a melody? Was the texture thick or thin?  (Hint: many sounds, or few sounds) Did it make you feel the same way as Lyndsey's songs?

 
 



Sometimes composers include words to their songs.

School Songs
(Please check back...)
