After viewing a video/s, discuss how the Power of Music evokes emotions by
using Dynamics, Tempo and Tone Colors in multiple ways.
Viewing Options:
1. Show video or a clip of a video without sound. Ask your students to describe the emotion/s.
2. Show the video now with the sound. Ask your students to describe the emotion/s.
3. Ask your students if they think the music enhanced the emotion for the audience to experience what was being portrayed on screen or there was no difference.
4. If they answered yes, the music enhanced, ask them to explain using musical terms the musical effects that helped the emotions along for the audience to experience. Be as specific as possible.
