You can turn up or down the volume on a phone or computer, but how does that work in music? Inspector Pulse investigates the mysteries of dynamics!

• Inspector Pulse taught us the word "crescendo" which is pronounced "KREH-SHEN-DOH." Try saying this word slowly and get louder as you say it just like Inspector Pulse did!
• The word "diminuendo" is pronounced "DIH-MI-NYU-EN-DOH." Try saying this word and get softer as you say it!
• Write your own sentence and try reciting it with a "crescendo" and a "diminuendo." How does the meaning of the sentence change?

• El Inspector Pulse nos enseñó la palabra "crescendo", la cual se pronuncia "KRE-SHEN-DO." Repite esta palabra lentamente, diciéndola más duro cada vez que la repites, como lo hizo el Inspector.
• La palabra "diminuendo" se pronuncia como se deletrea. Repite esta palabra, diciéndola más suavemente cada vez.
• Escribe tu propia oración e intenta decirla con "crescendo" y luego con "diminuendo." ¿Cómo cambia el significado o la intención de la oración?
