This one-time course will explore melody, building on the concepts from Exploring Music: Melody Part 1. Students will learn 8 notes, be able to follow along with music using a melody map and the musical staff, and create their own melody!

Class Experience

In this class, students will continue to learn about the concept of melody. Students will learn 8 notes using solfege (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do), be able to follow along with music using a melody map and the musical staff, and create their own melody! We will use music from Moana, Coco, and The Lion King. This class will use a combination of a slideshow presentation, video & audio clips, group discussions, and group activities.

This class is taught in English.

Students will be able to identify a melody in a song.
Students will be able to follow the "shape" of a melody using movement or drawing (i.e. moving up when the melody goes up in pitch, moving down when the melody goes down in pitch, or staying the same when a pitch is repeated).
Students will be able to write their own melodies using 8 pitches with solfege names (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do).
