What part(s) of the songs do you still need to finish writing/practicing? How will you go about doing that?

One part that we are not done with is the melody for the verse. We will have to practice the overall songs yet. However, we have a solid plans about this. We will complete this task by the singing. We get inspiratations for the melody with the chords and the singer's lyrics, so we will collaborate all together to write the melody together.

What is one part of your song that you feel is working well so far? Why?

I think our lyrics are working really well. Keisuke have spend good efforts for the lyrics, and Elias have commented on some parts. We worked as a group to make the lyrics, and I am pleasant about this part.

What is one part that you think still needs improvement? What could you do to improve it?

We need to increase the communication The speed of making the melody is bit slow yet, so we will have to improve it by communicating with each others. We work collaboratively, but we do not communicate as much.

Song Name: Yellow by Coldplay

Instrument: Drum

Date: October 7th

In today's class, I worked on getting used to 3 minutes of the song that I was playing. My goal was to finish the 3-minute part, which I failed by 30 seconds. At the next class, I would like to practice and perform the parts afterwards, until 3 minutes 30 seconds part of the song.

Summary: good but show the drum so the camera records skills

No missing videos

I would like to try harder skills with drum

I would learn from Maddox or someone who is more skilled then me, because I learned that watching someone play in real life teach me more than youtube video.

1) Name the song and post the link.

The song name: Yellow by Coldplay, cover by Matt Hansen

2) What is different about it? Be specific. You might want to talk about: The tempo of the music is much slower than the original version. The mood is more of a minor in the cover version. The instruments are only piano and guitar, which differs from the original version with various instruments, including piano, drum, guitar and base.

3) What do you think is the appeal of this version? The appeal of the cover is that it is more minor compared to the original version. Because it doesn't have as many instruments as before, the background sound is more empty compared to the original cover, which helps create a minor chord mood.

What aspects/parts of your performance do you think were the most successful? Why?

The most successful aspect was that I successfully played the new instrument I had not played earlier. The instrument was unfamiliar to me before the unit, but I succeeded in playing it. It is the aspect that I think I was most successful.

How well did you contribute to the group’s overall sound? Provide examples.

I have contributed well to the group's overall sound. The vibraphone sounds were played in the background as a base. It was not too loud for the audience. I know this because I could hear other instruments and the singer while playing.

How has working on "Do I Wanna Know" influenced your understanding of music and performance?

While working on the song "Do I Wanna Know", I was able to improve on the controls of the volume of the instrument. The instrument made deafening sounds and required abundant sound controls. the controls depended purely on the power, so as I performed, my power control skills improved automatically.

What goals would you set for yourself as a musician moving forward?

I would like to play more various instruments. I have played several instruments through this unit, and a brand new instrument with the piece "Do I Wanna Know". I would like to add to this and play another new instrument. I would like to play string instrument, if possible. This is because I have not played the string instrument previously.

How is your authentic band song going? What are you still working on?

Our band is making good sounds. However, we need to improve on the collaboration. Also, the drum beats are going too fast in certain cases, which is something I am working on.

How is your artistic band song going? What are you still working on? In what ways is your artistic cover adhering to your original artistic intentions?

We are planning to change the tempo of the song to change the mood. We are also going to add more melodies, to potentially change the mood of the music from minor to major.

How is playing with a small band different from playing as a full group?

Playing in a small band was different from the full group performance. When we played in a full group, there was less stress about being accurate and correct. However, if we play in a small band, we must be accurate as people can hear our mistakes easily, which is a challenge for small bands.

What ATL Skills do you hope to continue developing in order to finish preparing these songs?

To finish preparing these songs, we must improve the ATL skills of communication, because we need more feedback from each other. Therefore, I would choose the ATL Interaction for our work. The ATL interaction means that we communicate with others, which is what we need for the improvement in short time.
