So now, I have here different kinds of songs, and I want you to listen to them very closely. (listening activity)-Gregorian chant-Itsy Bitsy Spider-A Choral Piece (Paru-parong Bukid)

So what have you noticed from the songs you’ve just heard?

Very Good. That is a Gregorian Chant sang by priest in the past, known as monks. It is sung during masses in the Catholic Church.What else?

Excellent!Anything else?

Very Good. The title of that song is “Paru-parong Bukid” a Tagalog folk song.Let’s give ourselves a good job clap!

You are all correct!They were music with different kinds of texture.Like objects, music has texture too. Music can be thick or thin depending on the composer of the music.Now can you please describe me again what texture in music is?

Very well said students.The texture in music can be voice or sound; instrumental or vocal in form.Let’s do the Ready Clap!

The first one was plain and very mysterious; it is also in different language.

The second one is a nursery rhyme.

The third one is a popular folksong sang by a choir.

(Students will do the good job clap)

Texture is the thickness and thinness of music.

(Students will do the ready clap)C. Developmental Activities

Now, I want you to form 3 groups.

On the board are the three types of texture in music.Let’s read.

I have here 3 folders and inside each are descriptions of the three types of texture.I want you to read each of them carefully and let us describe the three types of texture one

Monophonic, Homophonic, Polyphonic

by one.

First,I want you to listen very carefully to this music again.(teacher will play the Gregorian chant again)

What have you noticed about the melody of the music?Very Good.

Based from its compound words, “Mono” means “one” and “phonic” means “sound”, we can form?

Now, may I call the group with the right description of monophonic?

Is it correct?

Very good group one!Now can you post it on the board?A chant is a good example of monophonic texture of music.

Let’s give group one a Good Job Clap!

Next, I want you to listen again to this music.(teacher will play the itsy bitsy spider)

What can you say to the melody of the music?

Very well said.

Based from compound words “homo” meaning “two of the same” and “phonic” “sound”, we form the word?

Now, may I call the group with the right description of homophonic?

Is it correct?

Very good group two!

Now can you post it on the board?

The melody is only one.

MONOPHONIC.

Yes Sir!

Yes, because our description says “it consists of a single melody”.

Yes sir!

(students will do the good job clap)

The music is a nursery rhyme and with two melodies, the accompaniment and the singers.

HOMOPHONIC

Yes Sir!

Yes, because our description says, “it consists of one melody with accompaniment or second voice.”

Yes sir!

Can you give an example of a homophonic texture of music?

Very Good Group 2.Now let’s give them a Mabuhay clap!

For the last one, I want you to listen again to this music.(teacher will play Paru-parong bukid)

What can you say about the melody of the music?

Correct!This is a choir piece sang by a group.They sing in different melodies.Based from the compound words, “Poly’ meaning “two or more” and “phonic” meaning “sound”; we can form the word?

Now, may I call the last group with the right description of polyphonic?

Is it correct?

Very Good!Let’s give group three a Yahoo Clap!

Will you post it on the board?Can you give examples of songs that have polyphonic texture?

Excellent! Let’s give group 3 an excelliente clap!

The RnB songs, songs that are accompanied by bands, and songs that are sung by two parts.

(students will do the mabuhay clap)

The melody is sung by many voices.

POLYPHONIC.

Yes Sir.

Yes sir, because our description says, “it consists of two or more independent melodies sounded simultaneously.”

(students will do the yahoo clap)

Yes sir.

The choirs, the orchestra, and instrumental bands that have different melodies.

(Students will do the excelliente clap)

D. GeneralizationNow, I have here jumbled words with their description. Could anyone help me to arrange the words in their proper order? (Activity) JUMBLED1.REETUXT in music refers to the thinness or thickness of voice or sound.

Yes sir!

2. POHCINOMNO consists of a single melody.3. CINOHOMHP consists of one melody with an accompaniment or a second voice.4. HOYPLOPCIN consists of two or more independent melodies sounded simultaneously. Now can we all read? Yes Sir!
