Singing to Communicate our Emotions and Feelings

3CO Music Maker.xlsx

In our Music Lesson Unit 1, we learnt about music in dances. We focused on Ballet music and how the different tempo and dynamics affect the emotions and feelings and how these musical elements can also communicate a certain story or idea. Click on the links above to listen to some of our improvisation to the ballet music, Russian Dance, from The Nutcracker Suite.

Our Musician's Statement

We sang the Mo Li Hua song angrily because one of our friend's sister was mean to us. She disturbed us repeatedly and it made us upset and angry. We changed the tempo to moderato and the dynamics to loud (forte) to show our anger.

We sang the Mo Li Hua song with a sad emotion because we failed our exam. We were disappointed because we already worked hard but we still failed. However, we will never give up! With the change of the tempo to andante and the dynamics to piano, we communicated our sadness through our singing.
