In this Halloween song "Black and Gold," the students discovered that most songs, unlike "Are You Sleeping," use more than one chord. After listening several times and working as large group, the students realized every single time the background chords changed in "Black and Gold." Once I gave them which chords were actually being used, we listened carefully to identify when each chord should be played during the song, because some chords sound good at certain times, and some do not! What a fun problem solving activity! When we figured out the order of chords, we discussed which pitches were in the chords and the various instruments in the room that could actually play the chords. Then, we rotated back and forth between all of the instruments to play the chords while we sang the song!
