I think it is a great idea to begin a new piece of music by going through these different elements, rather than just beginning to play it. That way, when students begin to practice, they are mindful of expressive elements like dynamics and articulations even as they are just beginning to learn to play the pitches and rhythms. I think students are more engaged in a piece when they have thought about and discussed the meaning, mood, and character of a piece.
