Extra Credit Blog: Vocal Styles

Hello Music Appreciators!


This week, you'll listen to the three videos above that show three singers singing in very different ways. This is extra credit - you can actually earn up to 100 points extra credit - an entire assignment!


Write four sentences about each style that you see (you should have a paragraph for each piece, with four sentences in each paragraph):


- One sentence that describes the timbre - 20 pts.


- One sentence that describes the style of the piece - 20 pts.


- One sentence that describes something unique about the singer or the song - 20 pts.


- One sentence that tells what you appreciate about the video - 20 pts.


- Good grammar and spelling, and you refer to each piece by the vocalists' names or the song titles - 20 pts.



Please comment by Monday, October 17 to receive extra credit.
