Description

In this skill building activity students work together as an ensemble, following directions, and leading the group. Students will learn and understand the terms “dynamics”, “volume”, and “tempo.”  

الاتجاهات

• مقدمة:
  1. Start by having everyone sing a short familiar song together such as the Alphabet Song or Happy Birthday. 
  2. Then share: “ Let’s add dynamics to our song.” In your own words define dynamics; the way a song or piece of music is played or sung including tempo; how fast or slow it is performed. Add in volume; how loud or soft it is. Depending on the students you can introduce further terms including crescendo, decrescendo legato and staccato.” 

• إجراء التعلم:
  1. Explain to the students that you will now conduct them in singing the song again, this time using dynamics.”
  2. First, practice volume: “If I raise one hand up high it means sing loud; low, sing low; in the middle, sing medium volume.” Sing the song focusing on changing the volume.
  3. Next practice tempo: “In my other hand I will hold my baton which I will move back and forth (MODEL) If I want you to sing fast, I’ll move it back and forth fast. If I want you to sing slowly I’ll move it back and forth slowly. (MODEL) Sing the song again, this time focusing on changing the tempo.
  4. Share starting and stopping: A raised hand closed into a fist to stop and open to begin. Sing the song again, this time focusing on starting and stopping.
  5. Practice the song combining all 3 elements together.

• إجراء بقيادة الطلاب:
  1. Ask a Classroom Professional to be the first volunteer to model being the conductor. 
  2. Choose a student to lead. Repeat as many times as your session permits and/or while students are still engaged.
• Variations: 
  1. Divide the whole group into smaller groups, and conduct each one differently. For example, one group sings softly; the other loudly.
  2. Spread the activity over several sessions, each time adding another key term. For example, session one introduces volume and session two reviews volume and adds tempo.
