Listen to a song you might know:
Oh
When the Saints
The drums help give the feeling of
rhythm:
A walking bass part adds some interest:
Keyboard and guitar instruments fill in with harmony:
Listen to just the melody by itself--can you sing with it?
Then can you go back and sing the melody with a part above?
What instruments do you think make up the rhythm section?
What instruments do you think play the melody and harmony
together?
Listen to the whole song again:
Can you tell what is different in this version?
Here are two different styles--what makes them different from the
first version?
Style 1
Style 2
Think of the fun you can have
composing and arranging your own
song........
