Music Around Us - Western Orchestra

We learn that an orchestra is a musical expression of the musicians. The timbre of the instruments, tempo and dynamics help to evoke the emotions and mood of a musical piece.


We composed and played with appropriate tempo and dynamics in mind a four-beat rhythmic pattern and used non-pitched percussion instruments, one of the families in the orchestra, to express our emotions.
