gradually increase in loudness Hear this out loudPauseA crescendo is a way for composers to indicate that a passage of music should gradually increase in loudness over time (opposite of a decrease in volume, which is described as a decrescendo).

Hear this out loudPauseDuration is the length of time each note is played for. You can have notes that are long or short in duration . When you combine notes of different durations , you can create a rhythm .

Hear this out loudPauseDynamics means how quietly or loudly a piece of music should be played. Dynamics are an important way of conveying the mood of a piece and your use of dynamics is a marked element of your performance. Composers use dynamics to change the mood.

Hear this out loudPauseFor slow transitions between dynamics, a composer must use a crescendo or a decrescendo (diminuendo). A crescendo is used for gradually getting louder, and a decrescendo or diminuendo is used for gradually getting softer.

Hear this out loudPauseCrescendos and decrescendos can also be notated through the use of hairpin symbols < >. The hairpin with the pointed end to the left (<) represents a crescendo and the hairpin with the pointed end to the right (>) represents a decrescendo.

Hear this out loudPauseThere are seven of these: Pitch, Duration, Dynamics, Tempo, Timbre, Texture and Structure. Pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of a tone. Duration is the length of time a note lasts for.

Hear this out loudPauseCar movement, or lack of movement, is governed by the principles of dynamics. An example of dynamics is a car moving despite the forces of multiple objects trying to stop it. The car has a large mass, which means that its momentum will increase if it is not stopped.

We can use five types of rhythm:

• Random Rhythm.
• Regular Rhythm.
• Alternating Rhythm.
• Flowing Rhythm.
• Progressive Rhythm.

Hear this out loudPauseRegular rhythm – elements are repeated exactly in an evenly spaced arrangement. Flowing rhythm – movement is suggested through repeating organic shapes or through irregular repetition of repeating elements. Progressive rhythm – a sequence is created in which the elements are changed slightly every time they are ...
