Prior Knowledge and Experiences Students have seen the videotape Road to Fame: Harry Connick, Jr. Students have sung selected songs from the 1930s and 1940s Students have listened to recordings by Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others Students have interviewed senior citizens, using the questionnaire at the end of this lesson Procedures 1. As you accompany students on keyboard, have students sing several songs they know from the 1930s and 1940s that have been recorded by Harry Connick, Jr. 2. Ask several students to report on their interviews with senior citizens and share anecdotes about the songs the senior citizens remembered. Then have all students summarize their findings about the function of songs in the 1930s and 1940s, and the significance those songs had for people at that time. 3. Discuss with students the use of musical elements such as rhythm, melody, and timbre in the songs from the 1930s and 1940s, and then have them make generalizations about modes, meters, rhythm patterns, and timbres in the songs of that era. Have students compare the use of musical elements in the songs from the 1930s and 1940s with the use of musical elements in current popular songs. Discuss with students the possible reasons for the similarities and differences that they identify. 4. Help students select several songs from the 1930s and 1940s to memorize. Then have students sing those songs, focusing on accuracy and expression and keeping in mind their interviews and the discussion of musical elements. 5. Ask students why they think Harry Connick, Jr. chose the songs he did to record. Do these songs, written in the past, have any message for us today? What is appealing about the music? What is appealing about the lyrics?
