Week 12 Journal

This week we finished up presenting our Children's Literature Projects. It was cool watching the other groups present, they did a really good job. We also practiced our recorders some more and did a movement lesson that involved playing them. We also did a movement lesson where we passed around a ball. This lesson taught about tempo and dynamics.

It is important to learn about tempo and dynamics because they are present in all music. They are usually the most obvious parts about a piece of music. Having children play the ball game allows them to listen to this parts more closely so they can better identify them.

It is important for children to learn these because it will help them to better understand music in the long run. They will be able to tell how fast or slow a song is and how loud of soft. These are just two concepts that are very important for everyone to understand.
