The last of three core learning threads, learning activities in this thread explore aspects relating to the concepts which create expressivity in music - uncover recipes of musical expression created through variations in volume and attack, tone, articulation, ornamentation and more.

Once again you will find basic fundamental concepts aimed at creating a foundation from which more complex expressive musical techniques may be understood.

Starting with simple contrasts such as sound and silence, loud and soft dynamics, and smooth and detached articulations, this thread later introduces the addition of ornamentation, the appreciation of changes in tone quality, and many other features that contribute to musical expressivity.
