What Is Musical Form &
Structure??


      The way music is organized

    Every piece of music has an
    overall plan or structure, the
   "big picture”
What’s the Purpose of
Music Form ??
If We label our musical materials, ideas
 or sections with the letters of the
 alphabet we can show how musical
 forms are created
Understand the structure ..
   Any Single Section of music consisting of phrases or
    other musical sections, we can call A. This Musical
    section can be repeated to create an AA Form

   If we Instead chose to add a new section, B we would
    have the musical form AB. This would be two
    contrasting musical sections.

  If We chose to add another A to an AB form, but this
   time with variation, we would have the form ABA’.
( The ‘ is used to indicate variation.
