GUIDE
Musical Form is the overall structure, or shape,
of a piece. It is almost like having a map of the piece. Looking
at this map makes it possible to navigate your way through the
piece. A long piece will actually seem shorter, and therefore
easier to learn and memorize, once the form is understood.
Form is usually identified using letters of the alphabet, however,
some people prefer identifying each section using color and/or
shapes.
Try to identify the individual sections of your own piece and
determine whether they are the same, similar or completely different
(Ex. Mary had a Little Lamb has 2 sections which are similar;
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has 3 sections -the first and third
sections are the same and the middle section is different). There
is often more than one way to describe the form of a particular
piece.
