1. Let’s start with some music.
Your teacher will play you five short snippets of music from a 1978 recording entitled ‘Colours’. Each of the pieces of music represents a colour. While listening, make a note of which colour you think it is.
At the end, share your answers with your classmates and see if you agree on the colours represented in the audio clips.
Discuss:
a. What emotions or moods do you associate with different colours? For example, is red calm and green angry, or the other way around?
b. If you asked this question to a person on the other side of the world, would you expect them to have a similar answer to yours? Why, or why not?
