Music Around Us - Music in Movies
Music plays an important part in movies. It evokes emotions and communicates ideas. Different emotions are expressed with different music played.
Using Song Maker from Chrome Music Lab, we applied what we learned about music in movies and composed the background music that is suitable for Spiderman 2. While composing, we needed to take into account the suitable timbre of the instruments, tempo and dynamics.
Below is the link for our composition. You can click on the website address to listen to our composed music.

Cultural Music - Malay Music
Musicians express their feelings and ideas through their music pieces with the musical elements and concepts in mind. The instruments played in a particular culture are unique and evoke different feelings and emotions. We learn that through music, cultural heritage can be reserved.
To show that we can express ourselves in different emotions singing the same song, we changed the tempo and dynamics when we sang Chan Mali Chan so that different feeling would be expressed.
