This document provides a framework for students to analyze musical pieces based on the five "T"s: tessitura, text, time, tonality, and texture. Students are asked to fill in information about the title, composer, and their singing range and the ranges of other voice parts. They also note the language, origin, poet, and their interpretation of the text. Additional elements covered include tempo, time signature, period, key, accidentals, modulations, number of performing parts, and instruments. Space is provided for other thoughts. The goal is for students to understand the music before performing it.
