Question Sets:
1. Write down each timestamp for when you hear a change in the music.
2. Why did you pick these specific times? Explain your reasoning.
3. Are there any sections that repeat? What would you call this repeating section?
4. Could you come up with a form for the piece? (ABACDA...)
5. Does any section stick out to you in specific? Why?
6. Name another piece this reminds you of and explain why.
Model answers:
1. Section 1 (0:00-0:25), Section 2 (00:26-00:51), Section 3 (0:52-1:31), Section 4 (1:32-
1:58), Section 5 (1:59-2:38), Section 6 (2:39-3:09), Section 7 (3:10-end)
2. I chose this time because there was a significant change in the music. The voice came in,
the guitar came in, the drums came in, etc.
3. Yes, it may be called a chorus because that is a common term I’ve heard before for
repeating sections.
4. AABABAC, this is because of the different sections I’ve heard and what makes them
different.
5. The final section sticks out the most because of the different lyrics, instrumentation,
melody, etc.
6. Any answer is acceptable as long as students provide justification based upon the lesson.
These questions should be reviewed after the final lesson, and discussed as a class both times to
ensure that everyone understands the theoretical reasoning for the answers. The students will
need more assistance in the beginning, and should only answer 1-5 at first.
