For our last week before Halloween, we added another part to the song "Black and Gold". This second part has different words and a different melody. But, the students discovered that even though the "Trick or Treat" part has a different melody, it can still be sung at the same time as "Black and Gold". This is called a part song, when two different melodies can be performed at the same time. Finally, the students also figured out that the accompanying chords must follow the same order/pattern if the melodies are to be sung together. It wouldn't sound good to have two different chords at the same time in the background. The chords must match, even though the melodies are not identical. Some examples of the students singing and performing are below!
