3rd Grade

Hi Third Graders! I miss you all so much and I cannot wait to see you again! The next unit we will be starting is about texture. Texture is about layers in music. You could have one layer of just a voice, then you add a guitar to make it more interesting, and then you could add drums to get a nice beat. Texture in music is about thick and thin. Thick is when there are a lot of instruments playing at once and thin is when there are only a few instruments playing.

Very soon, I’ll be posting a video of me creating what we call a texture chart using the song below. For now, I want you to listen to this song and think when is the song thick? When is the song thin? What instruments do you hear?

We have been working on form the past 3 weeks. Can you create your own song using the rhythms in this document?
