Today is our first music lesson after the term break. At first we discussed about why we use clear folders. Then, we learned about the musical forms. Mr Herry composed a melody and we had to identify similar rows of bars. It turns out that the 1st, 2nd, and 4th row are very similar, with the 1st one being different by only a note at the end. The 1st row is called A, while the 2nd and 4th are called A' (A accent). The 3rd row, which is the one different from the rest, is called B. This is one of the many pop musical forms, and it's called AA'BA'. It is the most commonly used, so we discussed this more. We also did AA'BB' and ABB'A. Each of these have a different effect on the listener.
