Dynamics play an important role in how music feels in Year 9 music lessons. Let’s break down some key points:
Volume Levels: Music can be very soft (called pianissimo, or ) or very loud (known as fortissimo, or ). This change in volume affects the mood of the music.
Dynamics in Composition: About 70% of modern music pieces use changes in volume to show feelings, like tension or relief.
Articulation Effects: Articulation refers to how notes are played. For example, staccato means playing short, quick notes, while legato means playing long, smooth notes. Staccato can create a fun and lively mood, while legato often brings feelings of beauty and emotion.
When we understand dynamics, we can play music in a way that makes it more expressive and powerful.
