RELATE TO MUSIC?
AB FORM
When finding the form of a song, you are looking for
patterns. Just like you saw with the video. To find the
form listen for parts that are the same or different.
YANKEE DOODLE
Let’s look at a popular Patriotic Song.
A Section:Yankee Doodle went to town a-riding on a pony; stuck a feather in his cap and called it “Maccaroni”.
B Section:Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy; mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy.

A B

A song that is written in AB form can also repeat the
pattern AB AB AB and so on.
