Recognizing musical instruments through sound involves identifying the unique characteristics of the sounds they produce. Each instrument has a distinct timbre, pitch range, and resonance, which allows listeners to distinguish between them, even when the same note is played. These auditory qualities are shaped by the instrument's material, construction, and method of sound production. Let's explore how different musical instruments can be recognized through their sound.

### **String Instruments**
String instruments, such as the **violin**, **guitar**, and **piano**, produce sound through the vibration of strings. The sound is shaped by the length, thickness, and tension of the strings. **Stringed instruments** like the violin or cello have a warm, rich tone, due to their wooden bodies, which resonate with the string vibrations. The violin, for example, has a bright, sharp sound, while a cello’s tone is deeper and more resonant. The **guitar**, on the other hand, has a more percussive sound, especially in its acoustic form, and the vibrations are amplified by the hollow body. Electric guitars, with their metal strings and pickups, offer a more metallic and sustained sound. **Pianos** create sound through hammers striking strings, producing a bright, full-bodied resonance that can carry across a wide range of pitches.

### **Wind Instruments**
Wind instruments, like **flutes**, **clarinets**, and **trumpets**, produce sound through the vibration of air within the instrument. These instruments are typically classified as woodwinds or brass, depending on their material and sound production method.

The **flute** produces a clear, light sound because it is made of metal and uses air blown across an opening. Its tone can be soft and airy or bright and piercing, depending on the player’s technique. The **clarinet**, a woodwind instrument, has a warm, round tone due to the single-reed mouthpiece, which allows the instrument to produce a wide range of expressive pitches. The **saxophone**, also a woodwind instrument, has a rich, jazzy timbre, smoother than the clarinet’s but capable of both mellow and powerful sounds.

**Brass instruments** like the **trumpet**, **trombone**, and **French horn** create sound when the player buzzes their lips into a mouthpiece. The **trumpet** produces a bright, cutting sound with a brilliant, metallic tone. The **French horn** has a more mellow, rounder sound, while the **trombone** can create both smooth, sliding glissandos and sharp, brassy notes, thanks to its telescopic slide.

### **Percussion Instruments**
Percussion instruments are recognized by their rhythmic and often percussive sounds, and they can either be pitched or unpitched. Instruments like the **drums**, **xylophone**, and **cymbals** fall into this category. **Drums**, such as the snare drum or bass drum, have sharp, punchy, or booming sounds depending on their size and how they are struck. **Cymbals** produce a shimmering, crashing sound, often used to

2. Day 1

3. I dentify whether each scenario represents thin or thick musical textures.

4. I dentify whether each scenario represents thin or thick musical textures.

5. • What is texture in music? Texture is the thickness and thinness of sound. It refers to the number of layers heard when you listen to a musical piece.

6. Explain the different types of musical texture. The focus can be on thin and thick textures. Refer to this explainer video from the channel, Music with Meg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRAaZ-ISgFk

7. • A boy singing alone. (thin) • Three boys singing together with a piano player. (thick) • A choir (thick) • A band (thick) • A girl playing the piano. (thin)

8. Worked Example: Activity 4: Acapella Song and Choral Presentation Have the pupils listen to two versions of “Bahay Kubo.” • https://youtu.be/uC_BtpXFl4A (Acapella) • https://youtu.be/Wz-nSk0f3OM (Choral presentation)

9. Ask the following questions after listening: Can you differentiate the rendition of the two songs – the acapella version and the choral presentation? How many voices have you heard in the acapella version of “Bahay Kubo”? In the choral version? c. Can you describe the different layers of sound and melody while listening to the two versions.

10. What is texture in music? How does the texture of a song change with the number of voices or instruments? Why is it important to understand texture when appreciating music in celebrations?

11. Day 2

12. Guide learners in forming complete sentences to explain the differences between musical forms and describe musical texture. Examples: “The song Happy Birthday is an example of a unitary form because…” “I can describe the texture of a band performance as thick because…”

13. Texture refers to the thickness or thinness of sound in a musical piece. It is determined by the number of layers of sound heard simultaneously.

14. Use examples to differentiate musical textures: Thin Texture: A boy singing alone. Thick Texture: A choir, a band, or three boys singing with piano accompaniment.

15. Learners’ Takeaways The following questions may be asked: 1. Give the differences of the following musical forms: • Unitary • Binary • Strophic 2. How do form and texture of music in local festivals add color and enjoyment to the celebration?

16. Formative Assessment Write TRUE if the statement is correct and if it is FALSE , change the underline word to make the statement true. _______1. Atin Cu Pung Singsing is an example of strophic form of music. _______2. Acapella is singing without instrumental accompaniment. _______3. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is an example of unitary form. _______4. Strophic form is the repetition of a musical unit, stanza or verse. _______5. Texture can be described as thickness and thinness of music.
