The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides an exceptional education that challenges (silence) each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.
I think that adding a silence after the word "challenges" creates the best tension. I think it creates the best tension because when you hear the word 'challenge', or 'test' etc. you automatically think 'oh no!' and you get tense. Also you will question the ISKL Mission Statement, what kinds of challenges are there? What are they talking about? Are they challenging me?? So I think adding a silence after "challenges" creates the best tension.
Composers can create tension by adding a void to their music. Such as gradually getting louder then using a pause or playing a soft, quiet melody. Another way is that the composers can include varies of sounds at once (for a few seconds) then all together suddenly there is only one instrument/sound playing the melody (or the music pauses). Suddenly getting softer (or a sudden pause) or back to one sound is the release in the tension. While lots of sounds are played at once (or while the music is loud) it creates tension in the audience. The audience will ask questions/ say comments such as, why are they playing at once? This is very confusing! I don't want to hear this kind of music, I want it to stop! Or they feel some uneasiness. That is using the void to create tension.
