Creating #5 - What Makes My Piece "Finished?"

When my creative piece is finished, it will end neatly and sound done in general and not stop abruptly for no reason.

The setting for my piece would be like a grunge(y) type of sound.

A performance can influence an audiences response by nodding of heads/tapping of feet and a smile on a persons face or crying if its a sad song.

When my piece is sung with lyrics with Céline Dion, it usually makes me cry because its just an amazing song and her voice is literally golden and it gives me chills every time I listen to it.

Listening #5 - How Good is "Good Music?"

# data[].attributes.body
In my musical tastes, I usually go for the orchestration of the piece and what I like to call a lyrical story. I love listening for a story or meaningful lyrics, it just sticks out to me.

We judge music by sound and if it appeals to us, usually people go for the artists voice and if its good or not.

Performing #4 - What Makes My Piece Ready?

Mr. Bernstein and I practiced left handed notes, I didn't do so well in my opinion; I kept messing up and hitting the wrong the notes.

Honestly, I think I know where the notes are better then I did two weeks ago.

Practicing for a few hours a day would be beneficial, but the thing is I don't have a piano at home.

When a piece is performance ready, you feel confident and probably know it by heart.

Listening #4 - What Makes Up My Music II

Jeremy - Sound

In this piece there are many instruments, voice, drums, guitar/bass guitar, guitar/harmonic, (a little bit of violin, could be wrong). I completely understand where Eddie Vedder is going with this piece, he's telling a story of a boy who was bullied constantly and had a bad home life and he didn't know what else to do so he took his own life in front of his class.

Adam's Song - Harmony

This piece changes a lot, its quiet then speeds up and so on. The time signature is 4/4.

Wake Up - Melody

This piece is kind of a jumpy around piece, but it goes back to the parts, its kind of hard to explain. Its a sad piece of music win general, its about someone who passed away, etc.

Creating #4 - What More Can I Add To My Piece

To inform you, I lost the first creating piece I was working on so now I am working on a new one, and its much better then the first one because I actually focused on it and didn't just fumble around.

To improve the quality of my work, I listen to other artists and get ideas from them.
Listening puts things into my head and causes an epiphany in my brain and ideas flow in. Performing causes it to stick in your brain and get better each time.

Heart Shaped Box - Sound

The instrumentation consists of guitar/bass voice and drums.
I think the listener should really listen to the lyrics and his emotions as the piece progresses.
Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana got the idea for this piece when he was inspired by documentaries about children with cancer.

Man in the Box - Harmony

I'd really like the listener to also listen to the lyrics since they do tell a story.

Layne Staley, the ex lead singer of Alice In Chains (due to his passing), explained that this song was about being trapped in a censored world and just wanting to die, basically. He wanted to get out of the screwy place.

For my composition I will combine with my playlists theme/genre so it matches.

To begin my creative journey I have to listen to the music in my playlist to get a feel of getting into it and having an initial idea.

Performing #3 - What's Going Well/Needs Improvement? 

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, I'm having many problems with my left hand, which is why I didn't include the whole piece, since I am self conscious about it.

Performers improve the quality of their performances by practicing and going over parts they can't get past.

To improve, I should go over the left hand with Mr. Bernstein because I honestly need help, my left hand isn't as strong as my right hand.

- I didn't expect this to come out with bells, I clicked on the YAMAHA piano, Logic really doesn't like me today.

Performing #2 - What Are My Strengths and Weaknesses?

# data[].attributes.body
I know the song very well, I've literally grown up listening and watching The Titanic so I know the lyrics by heart without even looking at a piece of paper.

My weaknesses from practicing this piece are just my left hand, because I'm a beginner at piano and I focus all my attention on the right hand and my left hand isn't as strong as my right hand, which is also my dominant hand for everything else.

My goals for this month is to focus more on my left hand then my right hand so I can improve my skills.

Three more songs to add to my playlist are;

Wake Up - Mad Season
Jeremy - Pearl Jam
Adam's Song - Blink-182

These songs fit my playlist because their lyrics basically tell a story and are full of emotion.

The lyrics are pretty straight forward and tell the emotions the musicians are feeling.

The Song I will be learning is My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion.

This song is honestly one of my favorites, it gives me chills every time I listen to it and watch through The Titanic, which is like every night, because it is my favorite movie.  The piano and lyrics are my favorite part of this piece.

# data[].attributes.body
In my composition I'd probably use guitar and a little bit of bass, a long with a bit of piano as well. I'll probably make it basically my piece and add meaningful lyrics to it.

My creative ideas and inspiration comes from all the types of music my parents raised me on, mostly eighties and nineties and all of the stuff thats gone on in my life the past few years.

My playlist will consist of a Grunge/Emotional type of sound.

Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana
Man in the Box - Alice In Chains

An individual choses music with what they want to hear or to match how they are feeling in that moment.

This playlist matches the theme by how the mood is set in the song, both songs deal with similar types of sound and theme in general. The elements that match the theme are the meaningful lyrics and the slow type of sound throughout.

Both artists are expressing sadness and trying to express their feelings about someone they cared about who passed away.
