Conveying emotions through music

Instead of a written blog, we decided to make a video about communicating through music. Our idea was to play a simple game where we wrote down some emotions onto pieces of paper and, one at a time, we played a tune synonymous with the feeling while the other guessed which emotion we were trying to convey.

If you watch our video, we hope you’ll see how music can convey a range of different feelings, emotions, and meanings – all dependent on how you manipulate it.

Thanks for watching – and happy birthday Orchard!
