Italian Terms - Internet Exploration

You will be divided in to groups. In your groups, you are going to look up words and definitions for the following. Use the worksheet you will be given in class.

Group 1. Five different musical terms/symbols used to describe volume in music.
Group 2. Five different musical terms used to describe fast music.
Group 3. Five different musical terms used to describe slow music.
Group 4. Five different musical terms used to describe changes in speed in music.
Group 5. Five different musical terms/symboles used to describe articulation.

Make sure that everyone in your group writes down all your terms and definitions.

Once all the groups have completed their lists, you will re-group yourselves in new groups with ONE person from EACH group and share your findings with each other.

By the end of the class you should have a list of twenty-five musical terms and symbols!

Start by consulting the following websites:

Glossary of Italian Terms from SFCV 
Music Theory. ORG Glossary
ThinkQuest Music Dictionary

ALL THESE TERMS ARE FAIR GAME FOR FUTURE QUIZZES ;)
