We learned that synthesizers can produce a wide range of sounds. Synthesizers can imitate the sounds of other instruments or produce entirely new sounds.

Electronic music developed in the early 1900s. Since then the composition of electronic music has exploded! Now electronic music ranges from purely experimental sound to electronic dance music. The button below will take you to an electronic music guide website. The many, many, many avenues of electronic music can be explored on this site. Have fun listening!!

Number of times each sound is happening Ex. 1 Boom (3 times) Ex. 2 boommm booOOOMMM BOOOOOMMM *personally I think Ex. 2 is more exciting : ) 4. Dynamics 5. A Title 6. All Composers Names Ex.

There are random objects on and around the piano ... how can you make sound with them. How can you create sounds and rhythms with them?
Today You Will... 1. Think how the sounds you are creating could be the sounds of your detail sentences? 2. Think about how you would recreate the sounds you have described in your sentences. Get ideas from things around you or other objects you could bring to class to make those sounds. Maybe your voices or your bodies can recreate the sounds you need. 3. Write out exactly what words describe the sounds in your detail sentences. Check out these examples: Example 1 Example 2 | AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
