Talking Points

• What is music?
  "Music is like a story that we hear with our ears instead of reading with our eyes. It can make us feel happy, sad, excited, or calm."
• How does music make you feel?
  "When I listen to music, I feel like I'm on an adventure or in a different world. What about you? How does it make you feel?"
• Why do you like or dislike certain music?
  "I like this music because it makes me want to dance, but I don't like that one because it's too loud. What about you? What do you like or dislike about the music?"
• How can we express music through art?
  "We can use colors, shapes, and lines to show how the music makes us feel. Let's create our own musical artwork!"
