In your observation, what is the common tempo mark found or heard
at the end of a musical piece?
Answer: In my observation, the most common tempo mark
found or heard at the end of a musical piece is the Ritardando mark since there is a gradual change to a slower tempo. So, it is a great way to bring closure to the music.
2. Why is tempo important in learning music?
Answer: The tempo is important in learning music because it
has a massive or big impact on the “feel” or “style” of a piece. For example, in disco music, the tempo is fast and in romantic ballad music, the tempo is quite slow. So, the choice of the tempo has a big impact on the “feel” or “style” of a piece.
3. How can your knowledge of tempo help you in singing songs
splendidly?
Answer: The knowledge of tempo helps the singer to sing the
song by singing it slower or faster and blends his/her voice to his co-singers when singing for example in groups or choirs.
4. How useful are the activities in the lesson in your understanding of
the various tempo in music?
Answer: The activities in the lesson are very useful because by
learning the different tempo marks, I was able to make the music more expressive and alive. By knowing the different tempos, I can now apply it to a song that I am singing, example in a ballad, disco, romantic, pop, jazz and other kinds of music
