BecauseListen to me read one of my favorite stories to you by watching the video below. Stop and ThinkWhat is your "because"? DynamicsYou might remember that last week I posted about the vocabulary word Dynamics. We use the word dynamics to explain the volume of a sound: how loud or soft it is. Piano means quiet and Forte means lous. Mezzo is a word that means something like "a little bit." When you add mezzo to piano you mean a little quiet. And when you add mezzo to forte you get a little loud. Here are some of the dynamics we talked about: Fortissimo - Very loud Forte - Loud Mezzo Forte - A little loud Mezzo Piano - A little quiet Piano - Quiet Pianissimo - Very Quiet Watch the video below to listen for changes in dynamics. What changes in dynamics did you hear in this video? The singer, Björk, would change from one dynamic to another. Which dyanmics do you think best describe the way that she sang? Did you hear a pattern? Use the space below to describe what you heard. Week 9 Packet Download

If something is loud, we say it is forte. Listen to the song below to learn more about loud and soft music. Fossils, Swan and FinaleWe have finally made it to the end of the Carnival of the Animals!
