Two good examples of genres would beThe Firbird by the composer Igor Stravinsky. 1.a. slow melody in french horn, soft, quivering string accompaniment
b. next violins, soft, melody an octave higher. Flutes join in.
c. Grows louder as more instruments enter.
d. violins and flutes, loud, melody even higher octave
e. full orchestra, melody very loud, timpani (kettledrums)
f. suddenly very soft, strings slowly get lower
2.a. brasses very loud, melody in a quick detached otes, timpani
b. melody in slower, accented notes, brasses, timpani music continues to gradually get slower
c. high held tone, brass chords, extremely loud, lead to sudden piano and come to a loud close.

Reading these notes you will be able to follow along with the song.

Another good song would be c-jams by Duke Ellington.

1. piano, repeated-note melody, accompanied by bass, guitar, drums
2. Saxophones, repeated-note melody, accompanied by rhythm section
3. violin alone, then accompanied by rhythm section
4. muted cornet alone, then accompanied by rhythm section
5. Tenor saxophone alone, then accompanied by rhythm section
6. muted trombone alone, then accompanied by rhythm section
7. clarinet alone, then accompanied by band
8. full band then plays

If you look online you should be able to download the songs that way you can listne to what I am talking about. If you need further help my email is foxychick6798@aol.com.

Do one on 1920s jazz from the Black community in contrast to the famous adapted white versions of the same time, made into pop songs. Talk about tempo, acoustics, lyrics, and style.
