AABA

Posted below is an example of an assignment completed by a student in my class yesterday.

The guidelines included:

• Create a 32-bar song in AABA form. 
• Each section of the song should be eight bars long. 
• Include at least two loops in each section- a percussion loop and a melodic loop. 
• Save to the folder on the StudentShare.

The song was posted to the class wikispace page and students are asked to answer the following questions on the discussion board:

• How is the A section similar to the B section?
• How is the A section different from the B section?
• What elements of this song cause it to sound like one cohesive work?

We will continue building on this foundation by writing song lyrics or related melodic lines to be recorded and added to the track.
