Instructions

Turning your forms into forms! Form is the key that unlocks the musical map of a song or a musical composition. Like a house has rooms, so a song has rooms or sections.

By identifying the phrase within a piece, children can count the “number of phrases that go by in a song”. They may then decide if the phrases are “similar” or “different” allowing for the form to be discovered.

For example, sing “Hot Cross Buns”:

Same Hot Cross Buns A Same Hot Cross Buns A
Different One a Penny, Two a Penny B
Same Hot Cross Buns A

This song may not take on the form of “square, square, triangle, square” or “ %%*%”

Tips

    The term “form” refers to a specific genre of musical composition such as a folk song, symphony or concerto and the structure of a particular piece, how its parts are put together to make the whole; such as Binary (two parts), Ternary (three parts) or Rondo form (alternating ABACADAEA etc.),
