Dynamics

Updated: Oct 27, 2021

Dynamics are how loud or soft a song is.



 

Here is a favourite song:

Another Piano/Forte Song:



 

This is a fun game you can play with your family. You can hear the song on the Musicplayonline website: https://musicplayonline.com/?s=closet+key&meter_stat=


How to play:

- You will need a key, or set of keys.

- One person must hide their eyes.

- Someone hides the key somewhere in the room.

- Start singing the song and the person who was hiding their eyes has to try and find the key. Sing softly when the person is far away and sing louder as they get closer.

- You could also sing "higher" if the key is up higher or "lower" if the key is close to the ground.


 

You can also find this Loud/soft game at the Musicplayonline website


 

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt is a fun song to sing that uses dynamics. It starts out loud (forte) and keeps getting softer.
