=**Third Grade LAMP Projects - Fall 2010**=

The third grade LAMP students composed music as part of their eight week music LAMP experience at Riley Elementary School. LAMP stands for library, art, music program. These students were chosen for excellence in music class throughout their second grade year. This year students had two composing projects. The first was a “soundscape” project, where students were placed in groups and asked to compose music to describe a scene, or that would go with a scene. The assignment happened to fall very close to Halloween. As a result students chose to make scary scenes for their projects. The second project was to compose a piece of music in ternary form (ABA). This is a song structure that has three sections, the two outer sections are the same or very similar, and the middle section is contrasting. Students used a combination of Orff instruments (pitched percussion instruments- xylophones, metalophones, and glockenspiels), and non-pitched percussion instruments (drums, shakers, tambourines, etc.). For the ABA form project, some students chose to work with a partner, and others chose to work alone.
