We've had a cold two days off from school! But now it's time to "ROCK ON!!!" the new year in music! We're going to start our Music as Expression Units! This will allow the students to be creative and opinionated throughout this semester! I'm excited for what's going to unfold!
Our first major topic is TEMPO. I hope the students get a kick out of this funny bulletin board! I know I do! Tempo is the speed of the music/beat. The tempo of the music can be fast, medium or slow. Musical words used to describe tempo are in Italian. Tempo markings are usually put at the top of the sheet music
Here are some examples:
Largo= slow
Andante= 'walking' pace
Moderato= moderately, medium
Allegro= fast
Presto= very fast
Molto= very
Where can you find different kinds of tempo at home?
What kind of animals move at different tempos?
