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 )
- actions are in time with the beats of the song

- variety of movements are creative

- when the songs go fast, we go fast - movements synchronise with the change in tempo of music: showed clearly how our group could hear the phrasing of the music (movements changed based on phrasing)

- actions got more fierce with intensity of music

- starting could have been better: could have used more actions to demonstrate the minute and delicacy of the texture of the music (sitting down instead of standing up)

Week 6-8/9
Deposit a video/ audio of your groups's performance here.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j_h4f2VwfMRgdyR0WigBsc-cZwpYpUTf/view

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?

Video | Names of 2 Instruments | Timbre (tone color) description – in your own language  | How does this version make you feel?
1 | Indian drums (Tabla) and the flute (Bansuri)   | Rhythmic, ebullient  | It makes me feel very cheerful and I feel like humming to it.
2 | The pipa and erhu | Reedy, catchy  | It makes me feel like dancing.
3 | Reyong and tambourine | Melodious, dynamic  | The music makes me feel very happy.
4 | The only one instrument type used - cello  | Calm, mellow | It makes me feel very relaxed and it is the kind of music that you can listen when you are tired.

1. Is Despacito any less ‘legit’ when played in the various versions? Why?
I think that the different versions of Despacito each has its own uniqueness and it still sounds like Despacito so I don’t think Despacito became any less ‘legit’

2. Which version do you like best? Why?
I like the cello version the best. It is very different from the original Despacito which is very loud and I prefer the rather calm and soothing one which is the cello version.

3. Does Despacito become non-western music when played with ethnic instruments? Why?
I think it does become non-western music when played with ethnic instruments as the ethnic instruments makes the music more cultural and it actually changes the style of the music and how it sounds like.

4. What is crucial to the style of a piece of music? (melody/ accompaniment /rhythm/ etc?)
I think the melody and rhythm is crucial to the style of music. They are the main elements of music and it affects the style of a piece greatly.

5. Create a rhythmic accompaniment to the tune of Despacito. Perform the accompaniment rhythm with the recording of Despacito.
I can use the drums to create a rhythmic accompaniment to the tune of Despacito. The beating of the drums can help to create the beats of the music.

Enjoy!!

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

I learned to make an omelette and also scrambled eggs. I realised that we should not overcook the eggs as the protein will not be able to be absorbed by our body. After cooking the eggs with my partner, I realised that we actually worked very well and cooperated.

I learned to make peach crumble and vegetable quiche. I prefer the peach crumble as it is sweet and I like desserts. However, the quiche also tasted very well and the vegetable filling is a healthier choice than tuna.
What can be an alternative filling for the quiche? I think we can add more cheese and ham into the quiche such that it becomes a breakfast quiche.

- We can also use lesser fats to make the cupcakes
