The way a song is put together is called its FORM. Simple songs have an A section, then a different B section, then the A section comes back again. We call this ABA form. “Twinkle Twinkle” is an ABA song, as well as “Shoo Fly”.
A
Twinkle Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are
B
Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky
A (same as the A section above!)
Twinkle Twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are
Attached is a recording of Mrs. Lewandoski’s class playing around with the form of “Twinkle Twinkle” to make a much longer song. Listen in!
