Dynamics!!
What makes music exciting? Dynamics of course!
Dynamics are a HUGE part of what makes music, MUSIC! The loud and soft volumes help keep the music interesting and sometimes help to tell a story with the music. Musicians use dynamics to show excitement, sleepiness, sadness, anger and any other emotion you can think of!
Read about the different dynamic levels here!

Print your own dynamic Flashcards at home!!!
Parents, in the file below, download and print out these dynamic cards and glue them to some colored construction paper to help with identifying!
I suggest; p = blue / mp = green / mf= orange / f = red
Parents, on the backs of the cards, write what the word is that goes with that symbol and what it means and try making a matching game out of it.
