-The two songs I am choosing are Heathens, by Twenty-one Pilots and Radioactive, by Imagine Dragons. These songs fit into the setting because they are both popular songs with good beats and moderate to fast past tempos.
-For both of these pieces, the musicians convey their message through the vocals/lyrics and the instruments used. The way the song slows down at parts to really make you listen to what the song says, instead of just listening to the beat of the music. To know what the musicians were trying to do is by listening to how they sing during their pieces. Do they sound serious, sad, happy, or even playful. ]]> 2017-02-01 17:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/150916898 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/150920573 -For the piece that I am playing I will most likely use the piano with a beat in the background, being either a guitar or a form of drums.
-The way I come up with creative ideas is that I listen to other musicians pieces and take inspiration from them in order to make a song that sounds good and like its in harmony.
-There are several genres of music I like to listen to. If I were to make I piece I would try to find a song I like and form something off of that song and maybe mix it with another song from a different genre. So yes, the music I listen to does influence the way I would make a piece.]]> 2017-02-01 17:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/150920573 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/151207206 -For my performance I will be playing Heathens, by Twenty One Pilots.
-The reason I am choosing this piece is because I like the music that Twenty One Pilots makes and I've been listening to it for a while. 
-One of the main reasons I am choosing this piece is the beat that plays during the piece.]]> 2017-02-02 16:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/151207206 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/152529081 -For the second part of my listening, the three new songs I will be adding are "Paint It, Black" by The Rolling Stones, "Jump" by Van Halen, and "Electric Avenue", by Eddie Grant. 
-The reason I chose these songs is because they convey messages that you don't hear when you first listen to it.]]> 2017-02-08 16:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/152529081 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/154074495 -For the piece Im playing, I'm currently struggling with the ending of the song. When I transition I usually hit a a wrong note or pause for a second or two. To fix this, I am mainly practicing this part as of right now. 
-I believe that in order to become better at playing something you just need to practice. I also believe this is how I will get better in the future.]]> 2017-02-15 16:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/154074495 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/154080500 -It needs to sound like it fits or belongs where it is. The piece needs to sound like its in harmony and not just random key hitting.
-In order to start a song you need a solid beat to go along with. The reason for this is because its the foundation of your creation and whatever happens next goes with the beat of the song.]]> 2017-02-15 17:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/154080500 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/155516342 -After my first recording of my performance I only messed up two or 
three times.
-The way I got better is by practicing which is what most performers do in order to master a piece.
-The more I practice the better I will get. When it comes down to it practice is the only way you can get better on the piano.

In this piece the song starts off slow and over time it speeds up and changesback to the beginning speed several times through out the piece.
-For Harmony, I chose "Paint It Black" By the Rolling Stones. When listening to this I notice that it stays the same and has a smooth set of chords. It has the same chords but the pace and sound of them are slower/faster and louder/softer
-In order to have a proper piece you need to follow SHMRG, you need a good pace and beat, that is why Melody and Harmony ]]> 2017-02-23 16:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/155810632 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/157674759 -For my creating this week, I have added several things to my piece.
-One of the things I added was an acoustic guitar in the background. this adds a rhythm and a tone for the piece. ]]> 2017-03-03 17:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/157674759 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/158092723 -In order to make progress on my piece, I practiced the parts that needed work on. Such as the transition to the ending.
-I can now almost do the song perfectly. A lot of progress since my last recording.
-All I can really do is practice and work on what needs to be done.
-What I think makes a piece ready to present is if you can play it without any flaws several times which I cannot do yet.]]> 2017-03-06 17:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/158092723 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/158430871 - For the Sound aspect of my song, I chose "Jump" By Van Halen. In this song, the sound is loud and I hear the Piano, Drums, and guitars.
-For Rhythm I chose the song "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons. This song has the same rhythm throughout the piece. The beat only changes up a few times.
-For Growth  I chose the song "Electric Avenue" by Eddie Grant. This song frequently goes back to the chorus.
-Based on what the performers focus on, you can tell what they are feeling during the piece.]]> 2017-03-07 17:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/158430871 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/159728172 -I believe that you should add onto a piece when you feel as if it is not complete. Not because its too long or short, but because something is missing.
-The way I refined my piece is by adding more to the grand piano part. This mad it sound better because it was just a beat before.]]> 2017-03-13 15:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/159728172 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/159734655 -In order to judge a piece I have to really listen to the piece a few times in order to see what its about and how it works.
-In order to make a good music playlist, you should pick a common theme or make a playlist for a certain activity such as working, or just relaxing. ]]> 2017-03-13 16:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/159734655 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/160594372 - For me, I knew my piece was over because if I added anything else it would sound like it was being drawn out and what was added didn't need to be there.
- My piece can really be listened anywhere. There really isn't a theme with it.
-There needs to be a slow-medium pace in order to sound correct.]]> 2017-03-16 16:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/160594372 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/162187870 2017-03-23 16:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/162187870 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/162454872 -The Audience either likes the performance or doesn't, And that all depends on how you perform and if you treat the audience with respect or not.]]> 2017-03-24 15:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/162454872 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/163735390 Title: "Heathens"]]> 2017-03-30 15:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/163735390 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/164004704 "Keys"]]> 2017-03-31 15:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/164004704 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/164654728 2017-04-04 15:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/164654728 deitrick_underwood https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/165188897 2017-04-06 16:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/deitrick_underwood/80u4hejqm3h1/wish/165188897
