This week we are looking at music “dynamics” and how the can be symbolised by a Conductor. Watch this video to look at who and what a Conductor does.

Then think about how you could show people how to play different music dynamics with you hands. How could you show someone how to play quietly (pianissimo), loudly (fortissimo), or any other hand gestures you can think of. Add a photo or comment how you could do this in the comments below or email Adam.collins@holyfamily.catholic.edu.au Make sure you include you name and class in your comments and emails.

If you want an extension go to the games page on this blog and follow the links to the orchestra game and learn the different parts of an orchestra.
