What are some specific successes that you felt like you had for this performance?

we had good timing and a good start

What is at least one thing you would have liked to improve for next time or differently for next time?

Next time, I think that we could've made it longer and have everyone sing together.

Choose one other G8 band performance from that evening. What are some specific thoughts you have about that performance?

Another group that i would like to look at is 'Love tonight' I liked their melody and rhythm but I think that the singing was quiet and not everyone was singing loud enough.

Which ATL skills did you develop in order throughout this unit to play successfully?

Communication. I think that because we were able to communicate together in our group and decide who is doing what.

3) How did you collaborate with your group? What worked and what needed improvement?

We collaborated well by listening to everyone's opinions and helping each other out and if something wasn't working we would talk it out in the group.
4) IF you had to work with your group to arrange/rehearse/perform a new (another) song, what would you do differently?

I think we could've practiced more together because i think we could've been more 'together' as we could've been more in sync and maybe we could've maybe added singing

cover for "I thought you wanted to dance"

In my opinion this cover is the best and the most closest to the original because it has variety of sound on the piano that matches the beat and this cover has a female and male voice, like in the original so it sounds like the original.

In my opinion this cover is the least closest to the original because the instrument that she uses is the ukulele which is not relevant to the song as in the original they use other instruments and her singing sometimes is not to the beat.

Title: I thought you wanted to dance

by: Tyler The Creator

genre: hip hop/rap

This song is a bout love and heartbreak. This also connects to his first track "sweet" because the first track is about his interests in love and the second track is mostly about regret and heartbreak.

I practiced for about 15 minutes of the song "married life" right hand. This is what i know so far, my next goal is to learn the left hand and then combine it together.

we decide to do I thought you wanted to dance until 1:35 because we didn't like the ending and it was too hard

At first we were planning to do another song but we realised that it was too hard for our group so we chose i thought you wanted to dance.

Some challenges we encountered were not being in sync with the guitars but now we got better because we started practicing all together.

I tried singing with the group to make the song sound better also i did the piano.

We mostly kept it the same and we just made it shorter.

1. dory

2. In the scene Nemo and dory are talking and moving down the ocean, at the end it gets more dark

3. when it gets more dark the music gets more loud and low

4. It is different to my first one because i have more layers and i spent more time on this one

5. at 10 seconds the setting becomes dark and so i added a load note on the piano, also from 0-9 seconds i added high pitched notes so it represents nemo and dory talking

6. i used "Classic rock organ" because the sound matched the video, "Live piano" that was the "main" layer as it carried the video and represented when the ocean got more dark, "toy glockenspiel" this layer made high pitched notes to represent the talking and finally the "studio" this gave some freshness to the leitmotif

My group's goal for today is to countinue practicing our own parts and at the end try playing together. We hope to play the introduction all together and complete. My goal is to learn more chords for the part and learn more than last time. I will do this by looking at the tutorial for the piano. I will look at the example chord and try playing it slow until i can do it.

What am I doing well with music right now?

Understanding the chords for the song that we are doing with my band.

What am I struggling with?

Sometimes i tend to forget to answer all the questions for the practice journals.

Name 3 specific steps that I will take to continue improving in music.

Practice for longer

answer all questions

practice every week at home

What feedback did Mr. David give me, and what will I do about it?

Mr.lien mentioned that i should practice more at home and answer the questions so that is what im going to do.

# data[].attributes.body
A skill we need for our band to be successful in our practices is probably communication because we have to talk and communicate.

I think we need to work on self management too because we should focus on our part to make it better.

Description: A sitcom based on Charles Addams's ghoulish single-panel cartoons for The New Yorker magazine, The Addams Family was produced by Filmways and aired for two seasons (1964–66) on ABC. One of the last American network series to be filmed entirely in black and white — which may well have been a stylistic decision, given the subject matter — the show was not very successful in its original run, but became a cult favorite once it entered syndication, and inspired spin-offs in many media.

# data[].attributes.body
I practiced a small part of the start for 25/30 minutes, the song called ‘married life’. I practiced using a YouTube piano video and I slowed it down so it would be easier to follow. My goal for the next practice is to learn more of the song.

Married Life - Up [Piano Tutorial] (Synthesia) // PianoMavs

# data[].attributes.body
character: Dory

I chose the "flying circus piano" sound because it matched dory's mood

the notes i chose made a nice calm melody as they changed smoothly.

soft and loud because some notes were loader than others because they were higher but some were soft as well

I think fast because the notes were changing quickly, also because dory is a fast and curious fish so the sound matches dory.

The intervals between the notes were close because there was a rhythm

How do u think we did as a group?

- I think we had a great start because we were all almost in sync

How do you think you personally did?

- At the start I was doing good and I was playing right but close to the middle I kind off lost it and my hand placement was messy and some of the notes were played wrong

What is at least one thing you were personally happy with?

- I am happy with the start because I think I was playing good and right at the start

What is at least one thing that you personally wished could be improved?

- I think I could’ve stayed more focused on the guitar so the notes were clean and right the whole time

What would you have done differently to prepare?

- I think my preparation was good it’s just that I got  a little distracted and I messed up a little on the notes

Describe your feeling during your performance

- at 1:17:30 I was confident and the notes I played was on time and good but at 1:19:18 I got a little nervous and distracted so it kind off got messy

Small band

1. What is your song and what instrument are you playing?

I thought you wanted to dance

my instrument is piano

2. How have you been learning your part?

I first watched a tutorial of the piece and learned chords for the song, then talked with Mr. Lien to check. Also i added another chord that Mr.Lien suggested.

3. While learning your part, what struggles are you encountering?

The timing of changing chords

A strategy that i could use is listen to the original cover and try figuring out the timing by listening to it carefully

4. While playing together as a band, what struggles are you encountering?

Being in sync with everyone because we haven't had alot of time to practice with the guitars

We could do this by practicing all together more often

# data[].attributes.body
instrument?
- Recorders

high or low?
- high and low because there is some notes that are high and some that are low

is the space narrow or wide?
- wide because there is a big pause in between.

fast or slow?
- fast because the tempo increases andd stops and when it starts again it plays in a fast tempo.

loud or soft?
- soft because the recorder's melody is smooth.
