We discovered this week that some music sounds major, and some sounds minor. We watched several videos of how different a song sounds when it is switched from major to minor, or from minor to major. Chase Holfeder does an excellent job of changing songs to be minor, check out his YouTube Channel. We also really enjoyed hearing the change of many pop songs between major and minor on this video from YouTube.
The students made posters of what major and minor sounds like to them. Look at them below.

I look forwards to continuing our discussion about major and minor and the emotions they make us feel, as we begin our Unit of Inquiry on emotions.
