SOUND AMPLITUDE
Now that you have learned that pitch is the frequency at which sound cycles vibrate per second, it’s time to learn about the amplitude of sound waves.

Now that you have learned that pitch is the frequency at which sound cycles vibrate per second, it’s time to learn about the amplitude of sound waves.

Amplitude is the intensity of sound-cycle vibrations. The degree of intensity of sound is called its Volume, which makes sense since a larger volume of air is set in motion when sound vibration cycles are louder.

There is a world of information about sound with many more principles of sound science to learn.

For our purposes, we will be working with determining Pitch and making changes in Volume while playing. 

In order to categorize volume properly and learn how volume is displayed in written music, we will now enter a new Quest layer.

DYNAMICS 1

Default 1
Dynamics are the degrees of sound amplitude in music: the Volume
Dynamics add variety and dramatic impact to music. 
Composers notate dynamics as volume instructions in music. Dynamics designate desired volume of musical passages.
Dynamics guide musicians in carrying out the artistic intentions of the composer. Music dynamics assists players in adding feeling and expression to their performances.
Dynamics are also called Dynamic Markings or Dynamic Marks.
