Look at the list of musical features (below) that are common to most Native American music (the summary of musical features found near the beginning of the Lesson Three reading). Arrange the list into the categories of musical characteristics discussed in Lesson Two.
melody dynamics
harmony texture
rhythm form
timbre (tonal quality) cultural features
Simply copy the list of common features from the reading, but organize it into these categories. Type out each item completely. Are all characteristics represented? Do some span more than one category? You may need to refer to the Lesson Two descriptions to refresh your memory. The category cultural features has been added to the list of musical characteristics here (minimum word count: 200; please see rubric).
