Making Music A Review of dynamics and other musical expressions and markings. Ms. Pair
Essential Questions • What are dynamics? • What is tempo? • What is phrasing? • What are some musical terms used to describe dynamics, tempo, and phrasing?
Dynamics… Dynamics are musical markings that let a musician know how loud or how soft to play or sing.
Dynamics Practice… Now let’s practice dynamics. We will clap each example in multiple dynamics. We will start with pp and work our way to ff!
Tempo… Tempo is the speed or pace of a piece of music. When learning a new piece, tempo is often kept with a metronome.
Phrasing… Phrasing is how a piece of music is interpreted. It is the expressive shaping of music. Phrasing can be indicated by markings in the music or by the conductor. Phrasing can include expressive markings, breath marks, pauses, changes in dynamics, and changes in tempo.

Phrasing Practice… Now let’s practice phrasing. We will sight read the examples working with different phrasings like legato or staccato or by taking our breaths in different places.
On Your Own… For homework, you will each be given one page of music. Circle dynamics, tempo markings, and other musical symbols and vocabulary and define them. What is that p? What does Presto mean? What are those hairpin symbols? See if you can do it without my help!
