ACTIVITY 2

TO STUDY TEXTURE

[LO 3.5]

W hat is texture?

How do we acquire different textures in music? Fill in the frame after you have completed the activity.

S tep 1

Divide the class into three colour groups: green, purple and orange. Recite and clap the rhythmic patterns before you try them on instruments. All the members of a group use the same instruments. How does the sound differ from group to group?

S tep 2

Play or clap your patterns to the music accompaniment. The green group performs the green pattern; the purple group the purple pattern and the orange group the orange pattern.

S tep 3

Each colour group makes its own rhythmic pattern by joining two colours together.

This pattern is repeated over and over. It is called an ostinato

S tep 4

Each group performs their ostinato four times in succession. Decide how you are going to perform it by choosing from the following possibilities and number them from 1 to 4. You can also perform different combinations, e.g. legato and soft, or solo and staccato.

Loud or soft

Gradually louder or gradually softer

Legato (bound together) or staccato (separated from one another)

Ensemble (the group) or solo (one person)
