Basic Concepts of Dynamics

What is Dynamic?
- is the volume of music
- it’s how quietly or loudly a piece of music should be played.
- dynamic is an important way of conveying the mood of a piece.
- it helps us to express and feel the true meaning of the song.

Two Categories of Dynamics:

 Static Dynamic- are musical instructions that tell us to play the music at a certain volume that doesn’t
change.

 Changing Dynamics- this is where the music isn’t staying at one volume but gradually (or suddenly)
increasing or decreasing in volume.
