Did you ever get food stuck in your teeth and then use dental floss to remove it? That is a lot like dissonance and consonance!

• Inspector Pulse taught us today about "dissonance" (or sounds that need to resolve). Why do you think we need harsh sounds in music? How do you feel when the harsh sound is resolved?
• Sing along with the version of "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" with "suspensions" (or tones which arrive late to a harmony). Describe how that sounds.
• Now sing along with the version of "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" with "upper neighbors" and "lower neighbors." How does this sound different?

• Hoy, el inspector Pulse nos enseñó sobre la "disonancia" (o sonidos que deben resolverse). ¿Por qué crees que necesitamos sonidos disonantes en la música? ¿Cómo se siente cuando las disonancias se resuelven?
• Canta junto a la versión de "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" con "suspensiones" (o notas que se incorporan tarde a la armonía). Describe cómo suena.
• Ahora, canta junto a la versión de "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" con "notas vecinas" superiores e inferiores. ¿Qué diferencias reconoces en el sonido?
