DYNAMICS
📢 Dynamics are dynamic. And they’re not suggestions, they’re musical given circumstances.
⚖️ Volume is all about relationship. Loud and soft only exist in contrast to one another. If everything is loud, nothing is loud. If everything is soft, nothing is soft.
🎶 And those little markings on the page aren’t decoration, they’re character clues. What does piano say about their inner life? What does forte indicate about their emotion state?
🧠 Try using dynamics as acting choices. Don’t just sing the notes, act the volume. Let dynamics reveal the emotional architecture of your song and do the storytelling with you.
