Cultural Music - Popular Music
Musicians create music to express their emotions, feelings and ideas. To understand musicians' creations, elements of music and concepts are essential. We learn that there are different genres of popular music and pop music is one of them.
We worked as a group to prepare for our performance of popular music. We did some online research and decided on the piece by thinking of the skills of our group mates if they can play any musical instruments. We also tested out the timbre of the musical instruments and tried out with the appropriate rhythm, tempo and dynamics in mind.

Musical Productions Around Us - Operas
Through learning about operas, we learn how to appreciate musical productions with the expressions of the musical elements and concepts in mind. We understand that there are different ways of communication in music and learn that music and singing can be used to tell stories.
This is actually one of the slides from my research. I feel that by doing this research, I have gained more knowledge on this certain area. From this particular research, I was able to be exposed to more varieties of opera. I was even able to learn some fun facts!!

I chose this because I learnt a lot while doing this. I got to learn more about opera, for example, the history behind it and much more. This also taught me that opera is not just about performances but the knowledge about it is also important.
