should have a variety of tone colours and dynamics, tempo changes, and different
pitch ideas and note durations.
Using the subheadings of the musical concepts – tone colour(including selection of
instruments and mood), dynamics, pitch, tempo and duration – provide musical
reasons for your selection of music for the „Shark at Bondi”
