Year 3 have been working on DYNAMICS!

Dynamics means how loud or quiet the music is played.  Year 3 have been learning to use -
"p" for quiet
"f" for loud
< for "crescendo" (this is Italian for gradually getting louder)
> for "diminuendo" (this means gradually getting quieter)

Year 3's theme was a Treasure Island.  They made graphic scores for their music, and practised in groups to play their instruments using great control to achieve the dynamic effects.
