Lesson 3: Performing with Expression

How can I make high/low notes sound musical?

How do dynamics and phrasing improve the performance?

Dynamics, phrasing, tone, legato, staccato, expression, musicality

MU:Pr4.1.6a: Accurate notes and tone

MU:Pr6.1.6a: Demonstrate expressive qualities

MU:Pr6.2.6a: Apply musical expression in ensemble context

Students rehearse and perform excerpts focusing on range, tone, and musicality, integrating all skills learned.

Correct notes alone are enough; high/low notes must be loud.

Slow practice ? full tempo; add optional expressive variations; small group support.

Teacher evaluates tone, accuracy, and musical expression; student reflection on challenges.
