In this colorful Miniclip, your students will learn all about the musical element of texture-the layers of sound in music! Through a mixture of live-action and animation, students will learn about the differences between thick and thin textures and the effects of monophonic, homophonic, and polyphonic textures. Also discussed is the concept of melody and the role of accompaniment, demonstrated with a performance of Waltzing Matilda.
