Words in Music

At the Bee, there are several music terms. If you play an instrument, you may recognize a lot of the terms. Playing the flute, violin, piano, and singing, I have learned a lot of new words.

In Suzuki Flute School Volume 5, the 2005 National Spelling Bee winning word is in that book. Appoggiatura is the word, but it was unfortunately misspelled as appogiatura (it's spelled correctly in Volume 6). I have also learned siciliano, forzato, scherzo, gavotte, concerto, ecossaise, passacaglia, and a lot more terms.

Words are all around us, not just music. Maybe your next spelling bee word will be the name of a street you went through, or a song that you learned in music lessons. It might be one of the words from your language class. Who knows what it will be? Be prepared no matter what!

Do you have any interesting words to share from books, music, or anywhere else? Comment below!

Good luck and continue spelling!
