 What is
Dynamics?
SLIDESMANIA
 Dynamics refers to the softness or loudness of the
music. It suggests varied emotions, character, or sensation. It
may provide listeners with anxiety, stillness, affection, energy,
or victory.
It can also alter the mood of the listeners when using
varied dynamic levels. It is important to use varied dynamic
levels to avoid having the same sound at all times, making the
listeners find it boring to listen to.
There are dynamic markings or symbols that you will see
in any musical score. These markings suggest the levels of
dynamics to be sung or played from the softest note to the
loudest one.
Also, the composers use dynamic changes to gradually

alter the softness or loudness of the song.
