The soundtracks to the films we watch can drastically influence our mood.   They can make us feel excited, scared,  happy, sad and even inspired!  How would you describe the way that the following movie clips make you feel? 

Can you explain HOW they make you feel like this?  What is the music doing?  Is it loud or quiet?  Does it change speed or pitch?  Do the notes sound good together or do they jar against one another?  How does the music change as the piece goes on?

All of these changes from piece to piece have names.  Today, we will find out about volume, tempo & pitch.  We will be experimenting in class with these elements to see how we can change the tone of a piece of music.
