It is a fundamental part of many musical traditions and is often considered the most personal form of musical expression. Singing can be done in a variety of styles, including folk, modern, classical, pop, rock, jazz, and many others. It can be performed solo, in duets or groups, and often involves the use of lyrics to convey a message or tell a story. Playing a musical instrument involves producing musical sounds through an instrument. There are many types of musical instruments, including flute, madal, drums, sarangi, string, wind, percussion, and keyboard instruments, each with its unique sound and playing technique. Learning to play a musical instrument can be a challenging and rewarding experience, requiring both technical skill and musical interpretation. Both singing and playing a musical instrument can be used for a wide range of purposes, including entertainment, personal expression, cultural preservation, and therapy. They can also be used in combination, such as singing while playing an instrument, to create even more complex and engaging musical performances. Music is a part of all of our lives, from when we’re growing up
Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 155 to when we’re old. We grow up to the sound of our mothers singing us lullabies so that we’d go to sleep. Music is one of the most calming and soothing things if you let it be. It comes from melodies and tunes strung together by people who sing and play musical instruments. Music is not only created by people, but it is also all around us in nature. In the mornings, when the birds chirp, the sounds are compared with music. The loud sound of the waves in the ocean swishing, the whistle in the wind, and the sound of trees and leaves rustling are all their own forms of music.

172 Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 13 Dance and Acting Before you get ready to read An interesting story of a singer and an actor Once upon a time, there was a dancer and an actor who were both struggling to find work in their respective fields. One day, they heard about a casting call for a new musical that required both dancing and acting skills, and they decided to give audition together as a team. At the audition, the director asked them to perform a dance routine that they had choreographed themselves. The dancer began to move gracefully across the floor, executing impressive leaps and turns. But when it was the actor's turn to join in, he stumbled and tripped over his own feet, almost causing the dancer to fall as well. The director, trying to hide his amusement, suggested they try another routine. This time, the actor was supposed to recite a monologue while the dancer performed a solo. But as the actor began to speak, the dancer accidentally knocked over a prop, causing a loud crash and distracting the actor. Frustrated, the actor ad-libbed a line, saying, "Looks like we're dancing to a new beat now!" The director and the rest of the
Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 173 audition panel burst out laughing, and the dancer and actor started improvising a hilarious and chaotic dance routine to the sound of the broken prop. Surprisingly, the director loved their performance and offered them both lead roles in the musical. The dancer and actor were thrilled and grateful for the opportunity, and they became great friends as they rehearsed and performed together. In the end, their unexpected comedic routine became a fan favorite, and they became known as the dynamic duo that always brought the house down with their humor and talent. 13.1 Introduction to Dance and Acting Dancing and acting are two different art forms, but they can often complement each other in the performing arts. Here are some differences and similarities between the two: Dancing: Dancing involves physical movement and expression through body movements, often to music or rhythm. It requires a high level of physical fitness, flexibility, coordination, and stamina. There are various forms of dance, such as folk, contemporary, modern, hip-hop, salsa, and more.Dance can be performed solo, in pairs, or in groups, and can tell a story or convey emotions without using words. Acting: Acting involves portraying a character and conveying their emotions, thoughts, and motivations through dialogue, gestures, and expressions. It requires a strong understanding
174 Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 of human behavior, psychology, and storytelling. There are various genres of acting, such as drama, comedy, musical theater, film, and television. Acting can be performed on stage or screen, and can involve collaborating with other actors, directors, and designers to create a cohesive production. Despite their differences, dancing and acting can overlap in various ways. In musical theatre, actors often have to sing and dance as part of their performance. Overall, while dancing and acting are distinct art forms, they can work together to create powerful and engaging performances. We can express several feelings and sayings with our gestures. Gesture is an ordered movement of our body part that conveys a certain message to the audience. Acting is the art of representing a character with voice, gesture, and activity performed for the entertainment of audiences. We can also perform acting with some practice. Let’s try some acting roles with the instructions below:
Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 175 13.2 Practice of Dancing in Classroom Song Dancing steps reflect the saying and theme of the words in a song. On every new lines of song, the dancing gesture go on changing accordingly. The steps in the classroom song of class five are recommended below: Before the words start, there is a startup music in every song. In this music, the body movement is simply rhythmic. There is a continuous vibration-like motion with both legs rapid stepping on the ground. This dance can be performed in Jhyaure taal.

176 Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 Dancing with the Classroom Song With the rhythm of the classroom song, (recorded audio if possible), let's manage to practise dance in group. In this group dance, all students stand in files with hands on their waist inside the class (or on the playground if indoor movement becomes uncomfortable). Movements of legs (raising and softly stepping on the ground turn by turn: left and right) are repeated in eight counts along with the flow of song. The same dancing movements are performed with free hands. The practice should be performed with the instruction of dance instructor or teacher. 13.3 Practice of Dancing with Local Song Local song is a song originating among the people living in a certain area. It is generally passed to the next generation by oral tradition. Such songs often exist in several versions, and marked generally by simple modal, melody and verse. Deusi and Bhailo are very common local songs in Nepal. Deusi Song Deusi is a traditional form of Nepali folk music that is performed during the Tihar festival, which is also known as the Festival of Lights. During Tihar, groups of young men and women go from house to house, singing Deusi songs and performing traditional dances in exchange for money, food, and other gifts. The lyrics of Deusi songs are typically religious in nature, and they express gratitude to the gods for their blessings and protection. The music is played on a variety of traditional
Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 177 instruments, including the madal (a type of drum), the sarangi (a bowed string instrument), and the dhime (a percussion instrument). Deusi songs are an important part of Nepali culture, and they serve as a means of bringing people together and celebrating the spirit of community and togetherness. The tradition of Deusi singing has been passed down through generations and continues to be a cherished part of the Tihar festival today. A common example of Deusi song comprises the words like below: Ajai Jhilimi Jhilimili - Deusire Aahai K Ko Jhilimili - Deusire Aahai Phula Ko Jhilimili - Deusire Ahai Bhatti Ko Jhilimili - Deusire Ahai Ramailo Tihar - Deusire Ahai Manaw Hai Bhaiho - Deusire Ahai Sadai Ma Sadai - Deusire Ahai Kaha Po Auuchhau - Deusire Ahai Barsama Dinko - Deusire Ahai Dinho Tihar - Deusire Ahai Deusuray Kheldai - Deusire Ahai Nach Khela Ghardai - Deusire Ahai Manau Hai Bhaiho - Deusire Ahai Janaw Hai Bhaiyo - Deusire Ahai Hami Ma Tesai - Deusire Ahai Aayeka Ko Hoinau - Deusire Ahai BaliRaja Ko - Deusire Ahai Hukum Ma Hudha - Deusire Ahai Rato Mato - Deusire Ahai Cheplo Bato - Deusire Ahai Ladhdai Ra Pardai - Deusire Ahai Aayeka Ka Hami - Deusire Ahai GharBeti Ko - Deusire Ahai Manjuri Lidai - Deusire Ahai Yessai Ghar Ko - Deusire Ahai Char Hai Kune - Deusire Ahai Aagani Ma - Deusire Ahai Nacha Hai Bhai Ho - Deusire Ahai Ramailo Tihar - Deusire Ahai Manau Hai Bhai ho - Deusire) Ahai Hejo Ma Aaune - Deusire Ahai Mangne Ra Jogi - Deusire Ahai Ajai Ra Aau Nee - Deusire Ahai Deusi Ra Bhaili - Deusire Ahai Yaha Matrai Haina - Deusire Ahai Deshai Sansar - Deusire Ahai Yo Kalo Katik - Deusire Ahai Janaudai Aayou. - Deusire Ahai Hey Mera Bhai Ho - Deusire Ahai Bhokayou Hola - Deusire Ahai Tirkhayou Hola - Deusire Ahai Hey Mera Bhai Ho - Deusire

Acting involves using one's body language, facial expressions, and voice to bring a character to life and create a convincing performance. When acting, it is important
184 Health, Physical Education & Creative Arts - 5 to keep in mind the character's motivation, emotions, and relationships with other characters in the story. Actors should also focus on their delivery and timing to ensure that their performance is engaging and effective. It is also essential for actors to be attentive to the director's vision and collaborate with other actors to create a cohesive performance. Acting is based on imagination because it is all about imitating real-life circumstances, thus an actor must be very imaginative. Acting necessitates emotional awareness, as well as creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Acting has the unique ability to let us make assumptions about information that we can use to guide our behaviour in various situations. We may become better actors via hard practice and dedication. 13.5 Acting Based on Story An interesting story : Birbal’s Khichadi (From the collection of the stories of Akbar and Birbal) Once on a cold winter day, Akbar and Birbal were walking by a lake. Akbar stopped and put his finger into the freezing water and immediately took it out saying, “I don’t think anyone can sustain a night in this cold water”. Birbal took that as a challenge and said that he would find someone who can do it. Akbar promised a sum of 1000 gold coins to whoever could spend a night standing in the cold water of the lake. Soon, Birbal found a poor man who agreed to undertake the challenge for the 1000 gold coins. Guarded by two royal guards, the poor man spent the entire night standing

On being asked by the king how he could stand in freezing water, the man replied, “My lord, I kept looking at a lamp that was burning at a distance, and spent my entire night looking at it”. On learning this, the emperor said, “This man is not worthy of the reward as he could manage to stand in the lake because he was getting warmth from the lamp”. The poor man felt doomed and heart-broken. He reached out to Birbal for help. Birbal didn’t go to the court the next day. Akbar visited Birbal to find the reason. To his amusement, the King found Birbal sitting beside the fire with a pot hanging almost 6 feet above it. On being enquired, Birbal said, “I am cooking khichadi, my lord”. Akbar started laughing and said that was impossible. Birbal said, “It is possible my King. If a poor man can stay warm by simply looking at the lamp burning at a distance, I can cook this khichadi the same way.” Akbar understood
