binary forms

Creativity is the biggest focus in learning in classrooms. In order to keep children of a younger age focused on the lesson being presented to them, we as teachers need to make it as interesting as we possibly can for them to be able to learn. There are a lot of ways to integrate music into lessons. Not only can we incorporate songs and singing into lessons, but we can bring in different instruments to bring a story to life. Adding musical instruments to stories helps students put their own ideas into the lesson and what is being learned because they can associate different parts of the story to how they think it should sound. This allows students to explore their own creativity. By incorporating many different elements into a story, students can stay more focused on the story and learning instead of having their minds wander. We learned a new concept, binary forms of songs. Binary means two, giving us two different elements. A lot of music these days use binary forms of music and pretty much any song you listen to on the radio has two elements in their music. These can be choruses and verses, which seeing it that way, you can understand how almost all songs have binary forms. No matter the gene these days, pop, country, rock, classical, there is almost always versus and choruses.
