EQ: How do you create emotion in music using dynamic and articulation


Monday:  Students will be working on Dramatic Essay, the Andante sections with special emphasis on dynamics and balance. Students need to listen to the recording on the blog regularly and try to imitate the tone/ sound of the professional orchestra.  We will also work on dynamics and uniform articulations in Avatar especially from the first eight measures and the last eight measures.  Students will also play through Space with emphasis on creating a sci-fi feeling within Space and understanding percussive parts.  Lastly students will perform measures 20 to the end to clean up the "bees".

Tuesday:  All classes will focus on sight-reading techniques along with Space and Time

Wednesday and Thursday:  All classes will be in the theatre working on Festival music in preparation for the Pre-Festival concert Thursday at 7pm in the Awtrey Theatre.  

Friday:  Students will listen and reflect on Thursdays concert.  We will also continue working on sight-reading techniques.

Learning Goals
  1. Students will play with perfect intonation
  2. Students will apply sight-reading techniques to Grade II music and perform with good intonation and rhythm
  3. Students will use dynamics and articulation as a means of expression within their music
