Musical Cycles 02

In KS3 music you will look at musical cycles - in fact, you've probably already played one of our quizzes all about them. By now you should know - cycle means 'going around' or 'repeating' so musical cycles are all about repetition.

Rhythm and harmony are two examples of musical cycles but there are others - melodies for example. Can you think of any more? Perhaps you'll be able to after playing this quiz.

Musical cycles are an important part of music and so we've written two quizzes on the subject for you to try. In this second quiz there is particular focus on instrumentation, techniques and types of music used by African, Indian and Indonesian cultures. Read each question carefully and take your time. Think hard before you pick your answers, and don't forget the helpful comments after each question - these can help to explain anything you are unsure of. Good luck - and have fun!
