6th Grade Explores Musical Form - Watch Our Sample Video!

Sixth grade students are developing a music video to demonstrate musical form through a visual medium. Form, one of our vocabulary words from last week, refers to the organization of all the individual sections of a piece of music (like the verse, refrain, solo, etc.).

We recorded and produced this rehearsal video to experiment with different visual possibilities. The video features the students creating their own dance moves for specific small ensemble and solo "sections", and a freestyle rap (improvisation) performed by sixth-grader DonAngelo Woodard. The music was composed during class using computer software.
