Percussion Ensemble

1. Rhythm: a rhythm is when notes, chords and other musical sounds begin and end. It ties the whole song together. We created a rhythm by creating a slow steady beat at first and proceeded to make it more complicated while ensuring that it was not messy at the same time.

2. Melody:
Using the scale, we were able to string and piece together different notes that sounded melodious with one another. We also ensured that it was louder and prominent as compared to other parts to show that it was the melody.

3. Chords:
The chords give the melody a fuller and more complete sound. It also adds to the creativity of the peice. Through the notes in the chord, we can come up with an accompaniment that does not clash with the melody or the chords.

Teacher's Comments (drums): It was slightly messy. However, when there was a mistake, we did not stop but moved on with the piece, which was commendable. The change from four beats to three beats was also nice.

Teacher's comments (mallets): It was much better than the first attempt and smoother. However, the group should have attempted to give Shao Yee an easier role as she had not attended the lesson the previous week. Overall, it is good.

Sound Scape:
1. The sounds of the environment; to treat the world soundscape as a musical composition of which man is the principal composer, and to make critical judgments which would lead to its improvement. Give your opinion.

In my opinion, man should be able to string together the corresponding notes into a pleasant tune. There are many sounds in the environment, and man should take advantage of this abundance and utilise as many sounds as possible to create interesting melodies.

Personally, due to the myriad of sounds available and ripe for the taking, man should use and experiment with different sounds. Even though a tune may sound decent, man should not become complacent, but instead, strive for betterment. This is why man should make the best choices when choosing sounds for certain parts of the tune like the melody or chords. Man should try out various different sounds to find out which is most fitting for the role and most able to bring out the intended moods.

Garage Band:

Reflection:
We had many options on freesound but we decided for me to insert and play the piano tune. For the other sound effect and additional sounds, we used freesound and browsed through the plethora of sounds that we had access to. We picked out the most fitting sound effects for the clip. Overall, I learnt that simple everyday sounds can be put together to form a nice song.

I did this with Chloe Kusuma.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?

My proudest moment was when I completed the soundscape with Chloe.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?

Inserting and playing the piano on Garageband was the most challenging part of my goals. As there had to be chords and the melody, the timing was tricky and if it was not timed properly, even editing could not fix it as it was too troublesome and slightly choppy. Thus, I had to have numerous takes for the piano sounds. This is why it was my greatest  challenge.
