🎼 Emotion-to-Sound Planning Lab

The teacher leads a short mini-lesson on how chord progressions, tempo, rhythmic density, melodic contour, and instrumentation can signal tension, release, calm, and resilience in songs. Students analyze short excerpts from selected tracks and map each excerpt to possible uses in a stress-and-coping composition. They create a planning chart linking at least three musical techniques to the audience need named in their How Might We statement.
