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.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was being able to come up with EDM that
considered the type of beats, the tempo, and the structure. Furthermore, it was nice to be able to put together the different parts of the EDM together, like the riser and the synths.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
Since there were many different ways to put together a strong beat (the climax of the EDM portion), choosing one that would suit my entire EDM composition was challenging, but has also opened my mind to explore different variations. The composition of EDM has been an enriching experience that has taught me about about Music

How has music evolved and been organised through time?

Peoples’ tastes changing over time (e.g. classical, jazz, etc)

Different periods (baroque, classical, romantic)

Technology’s evolution brings about music’s evolution (from CD to DVD, itunes to Soundcloud, new inventions like synthesizers and such)

Composing: A pop song!

What is a pop song?

What is the instrumentation of a pop band?

Why do people nowadays mostly like pop music?

What makes pop music what it is?

Lyrics are quite literal (content); relatable; lyrics and subject matter discussed are relevant

Use of acoustic instruments like guitars

Heavy bass (electric guitar, drums)

Electronic mixing and autotune

Sound effects

Through this lesson, I have learnt how to crack eggs properly and not use too much oil when frying eggs. I have also learnt that I can modify the recipe slightly and not follow it strictly to make it healthier or more suited to my taste.

Composition:
https://tinyurl.com/JuliaTan201EDM
feedback:
- Could have used higher beats, not so low beats

Reflection:
I learnt that in the process of creating the EDM composition, there are a lot of things to consider, like the type of beats, the tempo, and the structure. Furthermore, there are many different ways to put together a strong beat (the climax of the EDM portion), so choosing one that would suit your entire EDM composition was challenging, but has also opened my mind to explore different variations. The composition of EDM has been an enriching experience that has taught me many things about Music.

# data[].attributes.body
beats: 4 beats

tonality: minor

base line: ostinato

mood: panic and suspension

a. instruments: cello, clarinet, violin, tuba
b. texture: thick
c. dynamics: high and low pitch
d. tempo: starts slow, gets faster and faster

storyline: there is a thief in the house, and then suddenly the lights start to turn on, denoting that the owner of the house has returned home. The thief is in panic and tries to get out of the house stealthily without getting caught, but the thief is very panicked.

Through this lesson, I've learnt that the reduction of fat in a cupcake affects the moisture and texture of the cake. I prefer the cupcake with a reduction of fat.

I can make a cupcake healthier by reducing sugar, fat and adding oatmeal or dried fruit (raisin) to increase fibre content. furthermore, I can add nuts too!

1. I have modified my dish to make it a more balanced and healthy meal. Furthermore, I have fulfilled making the crust of the quiche with sweet potatoes.

2. (a) Yes, I was able to manage my time.
(b) Yes, I faced an obstacle which regarded the fact that crust of my sweet potato quiche were unevenly sliced, so when it was put in the oven (before filling), some slices of sweet potato were a lot more cooked than others. I overcame this by adding more sweet potato slices as the crust and put it back into the oven only after I poured in the filling.
(c) I would have sliced the potatoes more evenly, and seasoned the quiche more.

3. (a) It helped in planning my dish as I could understand what a balanced diet meant.
(b) It was very manageable.
(c) It helped me to explore the different modifications I can make to a dish to make it healthier. Furthermore, after first-handedly trying a cupcake with less fat, I could easily tell the difference in taste and texture, which helped me to understand the effect of the different ingredients on the taste, texture and colour of a dish.

# data[].attributes.body
why did u choose to use this colour and texture?

We chose the colours as it was dark and some bright colours, which signified the fast tempo, which shows that someone was in a rush against time.
