Hi Year 'Toooos' !
Below are some suggestions to guide you in documenting your journey through this year's music module.  And yes.... you are NOT limited to these questions !

I suggest you create a separate post for each 'week band' for easier management and reading (but not compulsory).

Week 1-4
Deposit recordings of your playing here . (video or audio)

1.a) Which instrument(s) have you picked up in this module?
b) What is something new you
have learnt about playing the instrument?
(c) How did you make the accompaniment more interesting? (if applicable)
d) What did you notice about your own learning style?
e)Was it fun for you? Do you feel proud of your achievement? Why do you think so?

Week 5-6
Deposit latest recordings of your playing here. (video or audio)

What methods did you use to :
(i) overcome the technical difficulties of playing in this instrument / this piece of music  ?
(Aka recommend a problem solving method to another friend)
(ii) transfer the learning to another instrument?
(sample possibilities- erhm...twist your hands?!?!, crawl under the instrument!?!? adjust your brain waves / eye movements....  lalalalala etc )

Week 6-8/9
Deposit a video/ audio of your groups's performance here.

a) Evaluate your group' s performance (using the elements of music). Comment (as an individual AND as a group)

b) What are some new things you learnt about :
(i) the make-up of a pop ensemble (ii) the dynamics of group music making?  (PS: Discuss using the elements of music....more professional :] )
c) How do you feel / think about :
(i) expressing yourself through music.
(ii) the role of music in humanity
(iii) music and the linkage ( eg similarity, inter-dependence, complimentary etc) with other subjects (eg language, visual art, etc)    :-)
(iv) using music to empathise with others / for service to others (is it good way or not? / do you like this way?) .... any past experience to share?

Finally..............................................Write a sentence using the following words (any grammar form) that represents you (not related to ability, GPAs, pleazzze) :
Music - Create- Expression

For your Reference (only for absent-minded people... :
The elements in music are:
Tempo, Rhythm, Pitch/Tonality/  Melody, Harmony/Accompaniment,   Timbre, Texture, dynamics

HAVE A MUSICAL DAY!!

Have I grown in creativity? Give evidence of your growth, if any.

Excellent: I explore various ways of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is thoroughly developed to rich and fine detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes a few times.

Good: I explore several ways of manipulating the elements

to develop a solution that is well developed to substantial detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes a few times.

Developing: I explore a few ways of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is partially developed to some detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes at least once.

Needs Improvement:
I explore one way of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is superficially developed, lacking in detail. I made only one prototype and did not test and/or improve it.

# data[].attributes.body
Creativity: I hope to explore the different ways of expressing my thoughts and perspective through the various methods of art

I learnt that I can use other ingredients such as spinach and salmon for the quiche as I am confident that they will be able to complement the dish perfectly

# data[].attributes.body
The less fat cupcake is healthier but it is less moist and less tasty. I prefer to eat the more fat cupcake as it is spongier and more moist.

I can make the cupcakes healthier by:

1. Putting less sugar
2. Decreasing the amount of fat
3. Putting fruits on the cupcake instead of chocolate chip
