Expressiveness becomes more and more important in these days in music class because students needs to express themselves and experience aesthetics in their musical activities. In this study, I provide three steps of class activities which are, explore expressiveness, experience-image, and subjective interpretation. in these activities, students can develop their expressiveness in singing performance. With selected songs from textbooks, students explore their expression of emotion, and using their experience and imaginary that linked with their experienced emotions, and interpretate for their own expressiveness.
