Dear ______________,
Falicity
After going through this module, you are expected to be able to:
1. Tempo 2
2. Texture 2
3. Harmony 2
Now, let us prepare the things needed for our lesson:
SPEED OF MUSIC
In this lesson, we will be studying tempo. Just like other elements
in music, it contributes in emphasizing the mood that you like to
express in your song. Different tempo markings are used to
indicate the speed of music.
Express your mood through poetry and visual art. Draw an artwork that expresses
your emotions. Then, use the space provided to explain your drawing through a
2-stanza poem. You may explain your work in English or in Filipino.

If you got all the correct answer in the Pre-test without looking at
any reference, then you may proceed to the PRACTICE PART of
the lesson. If not, continue reading on. I’ll guide you throughout
this module!
The speed at which the pace of the music is played is known as the tempo.
Tempo refers to the speed in music. Different tempo markings are used in
music and commonly expressed in Italian terms.
Oftentimes, a composer will write a tempo marking above the first bar of a
musical piece to tell us how fast or slow to play.
From slowest to fastest, the commonly used tempo markings in music are:
TEMPO DESCRIPTION
Largo Broad, very slow
Lento Slow
Andante Moderately slow
Moderato Moderate speed
Allegretto Fairly quick and lively
Allegro Fast
Presto Very fast
Sing the song below using the correct tempo markings written.
Lento
Moderato

MELODIC TEXTURE
In this lesson, we will be studying texture. Let us see how to
create layers of sound in a song. Thick, thin, heavy, and light are
the words that are used to describe the texture. Get ready to
enjoy some activities in discovering texture.
Think of your favorite song. Listen to it carefully and answer the questions below.
All the sounds that you will hear in a song are part of its texture whether
it is the singer or the instruments that are playing. We hear texture all
the time in music. Normally, we think of texture as the roughness or
smoothness of an object just like in art. But in music, we use texture
when harmonies and melodies interact within a song.
PROCESS (Procedure)
Homophonic
_______________ 1. A solo singer accompanied by a piano.
Monophonic
_______________ 2. A boy humming a tune.
Monophonic
_______________ 3. A group of students singing the Philippine National anthem.
Polyphonic
_______________ 4. A group of friends singing Mary Had a Little Lamb in round.
Polyphonic
_______________ 5. A rock band performing songs in a concert.
Round
_______________ 1. D N O U R – two or more individuals singing the same melody
but begin at different times.
Partner
_______________ 2. T N R R E A P – way of singing two different songs at the same
time.
Texture
_______________ 3. X T U E E R T – layers of sound in a musical composition
Ostinato
_______________ 4. I T S O T A N O – a musical line that is continuously played or
repeated throughout a song.
Descant
_______________ 5. C N T A D S E – separate melodic voices that are sung or
played higher than the main melody.
Check your work using the Answer Key in the Appendices of this module.
How was the activity? How many correct answers did you get?
If you got all the correct answer in the Pre-test, then you may
proceed to the PRACTICE PART of the lesson. If not, continue
reading on. I’ll guide you throughout this module!
Observe the visual representation below. This will help you understand how these
three types differ from one another.
MONOPHONY HOMOPHONY
POLYPHONY
Assume that the lines in the given examples are the melodic lines we hear in a
song. You will notice that…
…in a monophonic texture, you will only hear one melodic line being
sung or played by one person or group of singers.
Take note that monophony is the thinnest texture. It is a pure melody. Homophony
is considered a thick texture with accompaniment melodies and polyphony is
also a thick texture that has complementary melodies.
What are the examples of these types of textures? Study the table below:
Texture Examples
a soloist singing a song without background singers or
Monophonic
instruments
singing a song while playing the guitar as an
Homophonic
accompaniment
Polyphonic an orchestral performance
Round song – sung by two or more individuals or groups where they sing the
same melody but begin at different times.
SINGER 1 SINGER 2
Are you sleeping
Are you sleeping Are you sleeping
Brother John, Are you sleeping
Brother John Brother John,
Morning bells are ringing. Brother John
Morning bells are ringing. Morning bells are ringing.
Ding-dong-ding. Morning bells are ringing.
Ding-dong-ding. Ding-dong-ding.
Ding-dong-ding.
Partner song – singing two different songs that are sung at the same time.
These songs have different melodies that fit and sound good together.
This may sound very tricky. So, the singers should master the rhythm and melody
of the song assigned to them. Try to do this:
SINGER 1 SINGER 2
Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb London Bridge is falling down
Mary had a little lamb Falling down, down down
Its fleece was white as snow London bridge is falling down
My fair lady.
SO MI
DO MI LA SO
You may also think of a song and feel the beat. The repeated beat patterns in
the song are what we called ostinato.
Recall some performances from a choir (or simply our school’s glee club). If you
will listen carefully to the texture of some of their performances, you will hear a
singer (or sometimes a group of singers) who sings
a countermelody. This is the part
where a singer sings the same part
of the song higher than the normal
pitch. He/she sings together with the
other singers who, on the other
hand, singing the main melody.

Write TRUE if the given statement is correct, and if it is false, change the
underlined word/s to make the statement true.
True
_______________ 1. The layers of the sound heard in a song is called texture.

_______________ 2. Phony means to sound.
Homophonic
_______________ 3. Monophonic texture has accompaniment melodies.
True
_______________ 4. If the music is pure melody, it means that it has a thin
texture.
Thick
_______________ 5. Polyphonic and homophonic textures are both thin
textures
Polyphonic
_______________ 6. Homophonic texture uses complementary melodies.
True
_______________ 7. Descant can be described as a countermelody.
Polyphonic
_______________ 8. An orchestral performance is an example of homophonic
texture.
Monophonic
_______________ 9. A boy singing in a capella is an example of polyphonic
texture.

HARMONY
In this lesson, we will be studying harmony. We will recall the
different intervals used in music. Harmony is one of the musical
elements that helps the composer communicate the feelings he
or she wants to express in the song.
Observe the notes on the staff. Have you ever wonder how is this played in
music? Do you have any idea why notes are arranged this way?
timrohwer.blogspot.com
Music sheet is very important to the musicians. It guides the singers and
instrumentalists on how to perform a particular song. Knowing how to read
and write music on the staff requires knowledge about the different musical
elements. This will help you work with the other musicians in composing a well-
crafted musical composition. Also, your skills in putting up ideas into words will
help you express your emotions and feelings through music.
PROCESS (Procedure)
Check your work using the Answer Key in the Appendices of this module.
Harmony refers to the sounds created when two or more notes are played
together.
Intervals refer to the distance between two notes which separate the notes
that are played or sung together.
As you can recall, we already discussed melodic intervals last second quarter.
The concept of identifying the numeric interval we did before, is also applied in
harmonic intervals.
When notes are arranged vertically on the staff, it creates
harmonic intervals.
Harmonic intervals are identified as unison, seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths,
sevenths, and octave.
Observe the differences in each interval.
To identify the numeric interval, you need to count the number of lines and
spaces from the first note to the second note.
But if the notes on the staff did not move, or the notes are placed in the same
place which means that they have the same pitch, it will be automatically
identified as a unison.
PRACTICE
Read the statement carefully and identify the numeric interval described in each
item.
Octave
Recall the so-fa syllables on the staff. Practice the sound of each
pitch from lower do to higher do. Then, write your own
2-pitched harmonic intervals on the staff below (one
pair for each measure). Label your work by writing
down the so-fa syllables and numeric intervals used.
Invite someone to sing it with you. One will sing the lower note and the other will
sing the higher note. Ask her to sign the criteria below after doing the activity.
