Spread the Joy

I can Change the World By…..Being a good person. My Reflections composition is called “Spread the Joy” and it is about different ways people can be a good person. I like writing songs so I first wrote the lyrics to the song. I have been learning chords all year, and how to count in 4/4 time. So I wrote the song using lots of good chords from the C scale. I decided to do “Spread the joy, far and wide” with the same chords each time so that it is the idea that holds the piece together. Some surprises in the music are the F minor chord when the lyrics talk about not being mean, and then the G# notes about picking up the trash. There are also surprising lyrics throughout the song. In the intro I like the sound of chords going up, and in the ending I go from F major back to the C chord, and a very low C to finish it off. So I can change the world by being a good friend, a good daughter, being kind to people and animals, and taking care of the earth.

I Will Save the Planet

I Will Change the World by...Educating others and continually learning about sustainability so that I will help make a difference in keeping our earth alive. I love working with scales and chords and I like the feel of 6/8 time. In this piece there are ascending minor chords that represent greenhouse gasses going into the atmosphere. The dissonant intervals represent wildfires and their impact on the earth. The big crescendo in the minor section represents increased air pollution. Cutting back on greenhouse gasses and planting more trees will make better air quality, and more trees help improve the air. The major section is soft and delicate, representing a hopeful future with cleaner air. The quiet chords and melodies are like a peaceful forest with the quiet hum of electric cars keeping our air clean. I will change the world by helping save the earth.

Shooting Stars

I Will Change the World by…Creating beautiful music, which helps make people feel happy. Recently I played a piece that used lots of triplets so I used that rhythm for this composition. I love learning about chords and D major really helps me express my feelings so I wrote the piece in D major. During COVID I learned a lot of chords and inversions. It inspired me to create this piece using those techniques. I love the sound of broken chords. One of my favorite parts of the piece is the transition between F# minor and C# major before the arpeggio section. These techniques support the idea of creating beautiful music. I know that hearing beautiful music helps me and my family feel happy, so I decided that I will change the world by sharing beautiful music with others.

To Help Those in Pain

This song represents the life of someone living through a family member’s death. The denial, the sadness, the regret, the anger, the pain. Someone’s there to help. And with that person’s help, releasing all the feelings again, feeling better. And as slow, gentle thankfulness fills them, they feel happy for the first time in a while. Although it may not be all good now, it feels possible to move past. There is hope, as their mind comes to a sort of peace with life and death again. And the song comes to an end. I, unable to change the world for everyone, want to be that person to help those in pain. In that way I will change their world for them. One person at at time.

Work for a Beautiful New World

I Will Change the World by... being a safe, hardworking, kind, helpful person.  I wrote my composition in C position and 4/4 time signature.  I used rhythms that I know like quarter notes, half notes, dotted half notes, and whole notes.  I used 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths in the left hand and C chords at the end.  I wrote word on how to be a good person and not make anyone feel down about themselves.  This is how people should be and how I can change the world.

Strings of Change

I am walking down a path.  A perfect idea of how I can change the world hits me.  I begin to jog, then skip, then run quickly so I can share my vision to others.  I am exhausted and out of breath, so I slow down.  My energy returns.  I will create and play magnificent music to bring people together, eradicate hatred to bring peace.  The faster I run, the sooner I can share with others.  I will change the world one string at a time.

Being a Good Friend

I Will Change the World by…

Being a good friend.

I liked learning about scales and cords during the pandemic, so I thought I might add them in my piece. My piece is in four-four time signature and I use a lot of intervals. I start in D minor, and that represents the pandemic and hard times. The second part of my piece is in C major to represent hope growing for the end of the pandemic, and being a good friend. I will change the world by bringing people joy and happiness in the hard times of the pandemic.

The Creator

I can change the world by...creating something new.  I named my piano piece "The Creator" because creativity can change the world.  When you create something that has never been on earth before, you'll change the world.  I believe that creativity brings joy.  I like to bring joy to others.  My piano piece is in both a minor and a major key.  I chose to use the minor key because that's showing when something is being made.  Then, I used a major key to show that there is joy in something new.

A Butterfly's Journey

I can change the world by...take care of nature.  I think it's very important to take care of the plants and animals around us.  That's why I titled by piano piece, "A Butterfly's Journey".  In this piano piece, I'm trying to show how important a butterfly is to the ecosystem.  Butterflies are small and fragile, but really important because they pollinate plants, which feed the other animals, even humans!  I hope that you can hear the butterfly fluttering from plant to plant.  You might also hear a flock of birds flying into the meadow hoping to snatch a butterfly (also showing the ecosystem).  This is  my very first jazz piece that I have ever written.  I hope you enjoy it!

Work for a Beautiful World

I Will Change the World By....  Making the world cleaner and more beautiful.

The title of my composition is "Beautiful Day".  I am singing the song in the recording and I wrote the music.

I wrote this song in C position in 4/4 time.  I wrote lyrics about how I can help the world. Cleaning up the litter, taking out the trash, and yard waste.  If you clean you can make it a fun game.  In my honor of the world, I will clean up the world and make it safe and beautiful

Friends are Kind

I Will Change the World by Being a Good Friend.  I wrote this piece in C position in 4/4 time.  I used intervals in the left hand and made a melody  I liked in C position.  My lyrics talk about how being kind can help us change the world.  Here are the lyrics. Being kind, sweet and nice by helping friends at school, is a way to change the world.  Being kind is COOL.
