For the assignment on the elements of music, students will write a report with a minimum of 300 words.
Students must select one element of music that they consider to be the most important element:
- Melody
- Rhythm
- Harmony
- Form
When writing the report, be sure you address the following questions:
- Why did you select this element from among all the rest?
- Do you think that all kinds of music could exist without your selected element? Elaborate on your view.
- Describe a piece of music that highlights the use of your selected element.
I encourage students to do research on their element of music in order to get ideas for their reports. All reports must be original works!
Do not quote any source or anybody’s thoughts. Quotes are not permitted in this Instruments Report. I am interested in your own personal thoughts, opinions, and the material you have learned from your research.
