One of the easiest ways to incorporate music into your classroom is by using dynamics. Dynamics  tell musician to play loud or soft. As a teacher, you can use these vocabulary words forte and piano in numerous ways.

1)  Classroom Management- teach your kids how do use their voice in the classroom, library, playground, sporting event etc.

3) Inflections-  In Ami's video below, she will show you a great way to introduce your students to the concept and extend the lesson with songs.

In the next lesson, we will introduce crescendos!
