Question

What pattern of weak and strong beats applies to the song Ba Ba Black Sheep?

Answer 1

Answer:

Contour: Contour is the overall structure of a song’s ascending and descending motion. Many times a melody is made up of shorter units called phrases (to be discussed later) that are described as ascending or descending. If a phrase mostly ascends and ends higher than it began, we often describe the entire phrase as ascending.

Encourage children to take their finger along the sheet music above and trace the ascending and descending motion of this song.

The song has both ascending and descending phrases. Phrases will be discussed later, but they are easily identified here because each one ends in a half note.

Identify whether phrases are ascending or descending. There are six phrases (ascending, descending, descending descending, ascending, descending

Note Value: There are three note values in this song: eighth, quarter, and half note. The beat is a quarter note so there is one note value shorter than the beat, one note value the same as the beat, and one that is longer than the beat.

Identify note values in the music

Time signature: Point out to the student that there are two numbers at the start of the staff. The top number indicates how many beats are in the measure. The bottom number indicates the value of the beat.

There are two beats in each measure.

The beat is a quarter note (think of the bottom number as the denominator of a fraction. So it is like 1/4 – hence quarter note)
