For my third song on my playlist I chose to talk about Dynamics this piece of music stays soft it really doesn't get any louder and its very mellow. For my fourth song I chose to talk about melody which in this song the main melody is conjunct the guitar is very stepwise and doesn't jump around. Lastly for my fifth song I chose to speak about Harmony which in this piece of music the harmony is consonant, the guitar is played so softly and slowly it shows the smooth harmony.

The way I can use my knowledge as a performer to begin my composition process is by using my skills on the piano to create a piece of music that sounds nice and can be looked at as a finalized piece. The way I begin to make a creative decision is by listening to other music and or looking at pictures to inspire me to create a piece of music.

The mood I chose is thoughtful/relaxed music for my playlist, I pick music that I enjoy listening to and music that helps me think. the first song I chose is Relaxing Background Guitar Music - meditate, focus, study, think by OCB Relax Music, the second piece of music I chose is 'Last Ride' - Thoughtful Inspiring⎥Piano Guitar ⎥Hip Hop Beat Rap Instrumental by Feelo records, and

instrumental Sad Piano | Emotional Hip Hop Beat | Prod. Tower Beatz. The last song I chose was 3 Hour Relaxing Guitar Music: Meditation Music, Instrumental Music, Calming Music, Soft Music, ☯2432.The music I chose fits my playlist because it helps me think and relax. The musical elements that help create those ideas for me is the soft melody and the instruments they use in the instrumental. We know what emotions/feelings the artists is trying to express by the slow melody and the instruments being played so lightly.

The instruments I will be composing for are the keyboard and any string instrument. The way I come up with creative ideas is by listening to some pieces to inspire me, or looking at pieces of art or album pictures to help me getting deeper in showing emotion in the composition. Some of the music I listen too does influence my creative decisions because I listen to multiple genres of music and just a few songs do but they have to have a story being told or a certain melody set to it.

For my playlist i chose a "thoughtful" mood. The two songs I chose are "Open Your Mind" By Feelo Records and "Regrets" by Contrary. The music I chose fits the setting because they are instrumentals that help you think and help you relax. The musical elements that create this idea for me are the soft piano and the slow melody. We know what emotions the songs were trying to express because of how slow the melody was and the instruments the artist used, the artist used mainly guitar piano, and keyboard. What the artist do to convey these emotions was they used soft instruments and used a soft slow melody in the background.
