When words fail, music speaks!

Here are some of the music vocabulary that you will need to know in Grade 6. Create a folder called 'Music Vocabulary' in google drive under your individual name. In a document, list down these words and find the meanings.

1. tone color 
2. coda
3. band
4. orchestra
5. form
6. introduction
7. trio
8. verse-refrain form

13. ledger lines
14. texture
15. tie
16. chords
17. root
18. triad

20. instrumentation

Remember to look for the meaning of these words related to music and not in general. 

E.g) Tie in general is known as a piece of string, cord, or the like used for fastening or tying            something 

         Tie in music is known as a curved, horizontal line that connects two music notes of                   the same pitch 

Writing down the meaning without understanding it will not benefit you in anywhere. You will need to present your findings and understanding to the class with examples at the end of this unit!
