Learn about Dynamic Markings
In this lesson I talk a little bit about playing softer and louder by applying more pressure to the strings. This creates dynamics which makes any piece much more exciting.
In classical music many pieces will have markings indicating where you are to play softer or louder, these are called Dynamic Markings.
The two basic dynamic indications in music are:
Crescendo and decrescendo:
The two basic dynamic indications in music are:
- p = piano, meaning "soft"
- f = forte, meaning "loud"
- mp = mezzo-piano, meaning "half soft"
- mf = mezzo-forte, meaning "half loud"
- crescendo translates as "increasing"
- decrescendo translates as "decreasing"
These symbols below indicate gradually playing softer or louder (the one on the left, louder and the one on the right softer)
You will find these marking in the piece you are about to learn.
