Humanities – Music The Elements of Music
Learning Targets • I can define and give examples of Melody. • I can define and give examples of Timbre.
The first Two (2) Elements … there are Seven (7) total elements we will learn. • Melody – The “tune” of the music a) If you can whistle it or hum it, it’s probably the melody • Timbre (pronounced “Tamber”)– The unique sound an instrument makes a) It’s what makes a piano sound different than a guitar
Melody = the “tune” • Listen to this example. • Can you remember the “tune?” • When instructed, the whole class will whistle this tune. • STOP WHEN IT’S OVER! • This is a MELODY!!!!!! • What is the name of this song?
What other melodies can you think of? • Here’s one more example • Can you whistle or hum it? • What song is this melody from?
A few thoughts about Melody • Melody – The “tune” of the music • Most (not all) music that people remember has obvious melodies. • A Melody is often what “hooks” a listener to a song. • A good melody can stand alone without any other “Backup” or accompaniment. • Think of your favorite song (or songs). Do they have melodies that you can remember?
Timbre – The unique sound of an instrument • Listen to this instrument sound example. • What is this instrument? • Now do the same for this example.
Can you listen? • Was the Melody the same for both examples? • Did they sound different somehow? • What instruments do you think each sounded like? (the computer sometimes has less-than-authentic sounds!) This example shows how Timbres are different from instrument to instrument.
