Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are?
4. Generalization
“Why do you think tempo is
important in music, and in our
life?”
“The tempo is important to us because it
makes the song meaningful and
beautiful.”
“The tempo is important because it
indicates the mood of the song, if it is
happy, calm, sad, or angry.”
“Precisely! Tempo is very important,
it can be compared to life. You
move fast when there are tasks you
need to finish within a short period
of time and you move slowly when
you need to be careful with what
you are doing or handling. Your life
is combination of all these. You
must know when to act fast and
when to slow down.”
 “And lastly, tempo can also be used
in showing discipline. Example, in (The pupils will greet their teachers,
greeting your teachers. How do you principal and visitors in appropriate
greet your teachers? speed.)

“Very good! And also, in praying.

We pray with a slow or moderate
tempo to show our sincerity.”
