Songs Have Parts That Come Back

with Melody

Melody, a cheerful musical guide with a bright purple coat and a tiny pair of maracas, stands on a colorful stage decorated with big musical notes, clapping her hands and pointing to a banner showing two repeating song parts drawn as colorful blocks.

Identify when a part of a song repeats by listening carefully.
Compare song parts that sound the same with parts that sound different.
Explain what a chorus is in a song.
Predict which part of a song will come back again.

Key terms

Form: The way a song's parts are arranged and ordered.
Chorus: The repeating part with the same words and tune each time.
Verse: A part with new, different words that tells more of the story.
Repetition: When a part of a song comes back and sounds the same again.

Songs Are Built From Parts

Every song is built from pieces fitted together, a bit like a puzzle. Some pieces sound the same each time they appear, and other pieces sound different. The plan for how these parts are ordered is called the form of the song. Understanding form helps you follow a song, because once you notice a part repeating, you can predict when it will come back again. Listening for same and different parts is one of the first steps to thinking like a musician.

The Chorus and the Verse

The two parts you will hear most often are the chorus and the verse. The chorus is the part that keeps coming back with the same words and the same tune; it is usually the catchy part people sing along with. The verses are the parts in between, and each verse has different words to tell a new piece of the story. So the chorus stays the same while the verses change, and together they give a song both a familiar feeling and a fresh story.

Listening for Repetition

Repetition means a part comes back and sounds the same as before. Your ears are very good at noticing repetition, because the words and tune feel familiar the second time you hear them. A fun way to track repetition is to tap your knee or hold up a finger every time a part you already know returns. Composers use repetition on purpose, because a part that comes back helps the song feel complete and makes it easy to remember and enjoy.

Worked examples

How can you tell which part is the chorus?

Listen to the whole song one time through.
Notice which part comes back more than once with the same words.
Check that the tune of that part also sounds the same each time.
The part that repeats with the same words and tune is the chorus.

Answer: The repeating part with the same words and tune is the chorus.

Predict what comes after a verse in a simple song.

Remember a common song order: verse, then chorus, then verse, then chorus.
Notice you just finished hearing a verse with a new story.
Think about which part usually follows a verse in this order.
Use the pattern to guess what comes next.

Answer: The chorus most likely comes next, since choruses usually follow verses.

Hi friend! I am Melody — and melody is also the word for a song's tune, the part you hum! Today we are going to listen for song parts. Songs are made of pieces, just like a puzzle. Some pieces sound the SAME every time they come back. Some pieces sound DIFFERENT. The part that keeps coming back with the SAME words and the SAME tune is called the chorus. Think of it like your favorite part of the song — it shows up again and again! The parts in between are called verses. Each verse has DIFFERENT words to tell a new part of the story. Verses and the chorus usually do NOT sound the same as each other — they are different song parts! Here is a hint: when you notice something you have already heard — the same words, the same tune — that part is repeating! You can tap your hand on your knee each time a part comes back. Tap to remember it!

Activity

Listen to each song part description and sort it into the right pile — Same or Different from what came before

Practice

Play a song and tap your knee every time the chorus comes back again.

Listen to a favorite song and name which parts are verses and which are choruses.

Common mistakes to avoid

Every part of a song sounds the same.Songs mix repeating parts like the chorus with changing parts like the verses.
The verse is the part that repeats.The chorus is the repeating part; each verse has different words to tell the story.

Check your understanding

Which part of a song keeps coming back and sounds the same each time?

Melody sings a part of a song. Then she sings a new part with different words. Then the FIRST part comes back with the same words as before. What is that FIRST part called?

A friend says every part of every song sounds exactly the same. Is your friend right?

Recap

Songs are built from parts arranged into a form. The chorus is the part that repeats with the same words and tune, while the verses change with new words each time. Listening for same and different parts and noticing repetition helps you follow and remember any song.

Reflect

What is your favorite chorus, and why do you like singing it again?
