This is the Grade 6 Music Self-Learning Module for Quarter 3, Module 1: “Simple Musical Forms, Rondo Form, and Repeat Marks.” It was developed by DepEd Region VI-Western Visayas for home-based learning. After working through it, learners can name the form of a song (binary, ternary, or rondo) and read the repeat marks that tell a singer where to go back and where to stop.
On this page 7 sections
What learners will learn
The module states that learners are expected to:
- Identify simple musical forms of songs from the community:
- Binary (AB): has two contrasting sections.
- Ternary (ABA): has three sections, and the third is similar to the first. Ternary (ABC): has three sections.
- Rondo (ABACA): has contrasting sections between repetitions of the A section.
- Use the different repeat marks that are related to form:
- Da Capo (D.C.)
- Dal Segno (D.S.)
- Al Fine (up to the end)
- D.C. al Fine (repeat from the beginning until the word Fine)
- The repeat sign ║: :║
- First and second ending brackets
Lessons in this module
- Lesson 1: Binary and Ternary Forms. Explains what form is, how sections are labeled with letters, and how to tell binary, ABA ternary, and ABC ternary songs apart using familiar Filipino songs.
- Lesson 2: Rondo Form. Shows how a main section (A) keeps coming back after contrasting sections, using the songs Maligayang Araw and Tirinding.
- Lesson 3: Repeat Marks. Introduces the symbols that tell a performer to repeat, skip, or end, and asks learners to find them in real musical scores.
Key ideas: musical form
Form is the structure or design of a piece of music. You can hear the form by listening to how the musical lines relate to each other, or see it in a musical score.
Sections of a song are labeled with letters. The first section is always A. A section that sounds different from A is B. A section that is different from both A and B is C.
The module uses these songs as examples:
| Form | Pattern | What it means | Example in the module |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binary | AB | Two musically different sections | Ako ay Pilipino, Bayan Ko |
| Ternary | ABA | Three sections; the A section returns after B | Tinikling |
| Ternary | ABC | Three musically different sections | Lupang Hinirang |
| Rondo | ABACA | A is repeated after every contrasting section; usually ends with A | Tirinding, Maligayang Araw |
In Tinikling, the first and third sections share the same melody, while the middle section is different. In Lupang Hinirang, all three sections have different melodies. The module also calls rondo the “ABACA form.”
Key ideas: repeat marks
The module compares repeat marks to road signs. They tell the performer where to sing, where to sing again, and where the song ends. They also give clues about the form of the music.
| Mark | Meaning in the module |
|---|---|
| Da Capo (D.C.) | Repeat from the beginning |
| Dal Segno (D.S.) | Repeat from the sign 𝄋 |
| fine | The end |
| al fine | Up to the end |
| D.C. al Fine | Repeat from the beginning up to the word fine |
| ║: :║ | Repeat the section between the signs |
| First ending bracket (1) | The first ending of the section |
| Second ending bracket (2) | The ending sung after the repetition shown by the repeat sign |
| Coda (⊕) | The last line of the song; usually found at the end |
The module walks through the score of Pandangguhan as a worked example. It points out the Dal Segno sign in measures 2 and 69, repeat signs in measures 2, 9, 35, and 42, first endings in measures 9 and 42, second endings in measures 10 and 43, and the Coda sign in measures 6 and 70. Learners then find repeat marks in Tinikling, Sa Ugoy ng Duyan, Magtanim ay Di Biro, and Isang Bugtong.
How to use this module
Each lesson follows the usual SLM parts: What I Know (pretest), What’s In, What’s New, What is It, What’s More, What I Have Learned, What I Can Do, Assessment, and Additional Activities.
- Learners: Start with the pretest to see what you already know. Write all answers on a separate sheet of paper and do not mark the module. Many songs come with YouTube links printed in the module, so listen to them while following the score. Check your work with the answer key at the end, and be honest when using it.
- Parents and facilitators: Help your child listen to the songs and follow the letters in the scores. In Lesson 1, the What I Can Do task asks the learner to label and sing Lupang Hinirang. It is rated with a rubric for labeling sections, identifying the form, and performing with body movements.
- Teachers: Each lesson ends with a 10-item assessment and an additional activity, such as naming songs the learner knows in binary, ternary, or rondo form. Answer keys for all three lessons are printed at the back.

Lesson 1: Simple Musical Forms
We always hear songs wherever we go. There are songs we learn in our community, at home, and in school. The songs that we sing have different forms.
What’s In
Directions: Write the so-fa syllable of the melody each note below. Do this on a separate sheet of paper.
[illustration: musical score in 3/4 time with a key signature of one flat, seven notes over two measures and a final dotted half note, ending in a double barline]
What’s New
Form in music, refers to the structure of a musical piece or a performance. Composers express their musicianship and creativity by organizing notes into melodies to musical phrases and eventually forming into beautiful songs. A piece of music is a product of various interrelated musical phrases and ideas thereby creating its form. We perceive the form of a piece by listening to it and analyzing how each musical line relates with one another.
Aside from listening to the music, you can also know the form of the music by looking at a musical score. Musical ideas in a piece are labelled with letters to organize it in the score. The first section of the piece is always labelled “A”, if the next section sounds differently from “A” it will be labeled “B”. In the same way, a section that has a different melody with A or B is labeled C.
In this lesson, you will learn two different types of musical forms: binary and ternary. Are you ready?
Look at the following musical scores below and try to identify their forms.
- Please refer to this YouTube link for this song

CO_Q3_Music 6_Module 1
Apart from the lyrics of the song, can you see letters in the score? How many letters do you see? Based on the letters, how many music sections are there in the piece? Notice the notes in each section, are they similar or different?
The song Ako ay Pilipino has two sections. The first section is labeled A and the second section is labeled B. The melodies of the two sections differ from each other. Hence, the song is in binary form (AB).

Tinikling
[illustration: musical score of “Tinikling” with sections labeled A, B, and A, a “Fine” marking, and a “D.C. al Fine” marking; printed credits “Titik: Isabel Mojica” and “Awiting bayan ng Samar at Leyte”; lyrics printed below the staff: “Kay-sa-ya-sa-ya-ng pik-ni-kan sa bu-kid, _____ I-bon at ha-la-ma’y pa-wang u-ma-a-wit, _____ Ma-sa-rap ang ha-ngin, kay-gan-da ng la-ngit, _____ May tu-la at a-wit sa a-gos ng ba-tis. _____ Ta-yo’y mag-sa-yaw, u-min-dak sa tug-tu-gin, _____ Ma-nga pa-lak-pak ay-i-sa-liw, _____ Ang luk-so mo Ne-neng da-pat pag-bu-ti-hin _____ Pag-nag-ka-ma-li’y ma-i-i-pit ka man-din. _____”]
How many letters are there? Based on the piece, how many times do you have to sing the “A” section? Can you describe the sequence of singing the song by using the section labels? Now, how many letters are there? How many sections are there?
The song Tinikling has three sections. The first section is labeled A, the second section is labeled B and the third section is a repetition of the first section (A). The melody of the first and third sections are the same but the melody of the B section is different. The song above is an example of ternary form (ABA) sequence.
- Please refer to this Youtube link for this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vBWzP2n_5Y
Based on your analysis of the two previous pieces? How many sections are there in the song? Are the notes in the sections similar or different from each other?
Lupang Hinirang has three sections. The first section is labeled A, the second is B and the third is C. The melody in the first section (A) is different from the second (B) while the melody in the third section (C) is different compared to the first and second sections. Hence, it is in ternary form that has (ABC) sequence.
Lupang Hinirang
