Questions:
- Do you like either or both of these examples? (why or why not?)
- Have you noticed the quality of vibrato in any of the music you listen to?
- If you have noticed, what makes you aware of it? If you haven’t noticed the vibrato, why do you think you have not been aware of it?
- You may want to take note of the use of vibrato as expression in your own chosen piece of music as well.
Answers:
- Personally, I did not like the very first piece (Musetta”s Waltz). I just have never really liked this type of sound. However, the second piece of music, Seasons of Love, I did enjoy. It was very easy on the ears & very pleasant to listen to.
- No, not really.
- I think that I haven’t been aware of it, because it’s not something I’m really listening for when I listen to music.
- After going back & listening to my piece of music, I was able to notice the use of vibrato as an expression.
