Music is communication!

Communication  is  the desire to convey an  idea  to another person and then  communicate  that  idea  in such a way that the other person actually receives it.

Music conveys something.

Music conveys different feelings and emotions to people. When you hear slow and sad music, it makes you feel sad.

When you hear light, happy music, it gives you a feeling of happiness.

Music can make you think of a parade. Other music makes you smile. When communicating through music, a person can convey many different feelings and emotions to another person.

Music can also carry a  message. Message – means the main idea that the author wants to convey to the audience. Musicians can convey to people such ideas as: freedom, beauty, power or love. Good ideas and bad ideas can be conveyed through music. If you want people to have a good impression of your music, make sure your  message  (main idea) is also good.

An exercise:

Demonstrate (with the help of any objects at hand): How you can convey (transfer) the idea to another person.

An exercise:

Demonstrate (using whatever items are available): What the  message is.

An exercise:

Think of a song that makes you feel sad. Then remember a song that makes you happy, joyful. Write why, in your opinion, the song makes you happy, joyful. For what? Write what  message  it carries.

An exercise:

Listen to the song “Bring me sunshine” by Jive Aces

Decide if this song makes you happy or sad. What  is the message  of this song?

Practice by watching other clips. Find the ones that inspire you and the ones that make you sad. You can use music to cheer yourself up!
