  • 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

]]> 2018-01-26 01:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_chow04/fhk0fn90ze67/wish/224913868 My Goals for the Module amelia_chow04 https://padlet.com/amelia_chow04/fhk0fn90ze67/wish/224913869 Creativity:
To explore as many musical sounds (timbre, pitch, tempo, etc) , modify existing ideas by great masters  and test it out in my composing or performing before deciding on the final version.

Project Management:
To identify my target outcome, draft a practical time line and be realistic with my final product.

Expression:
Communication: To make sure that my/ my friend's communication is clearly and politely articulated to my group mates in the ensemble

Expression: To take courage to express my emotions :(i) Instrumental -through performing with more contrasting dynamics / greater cohesiveness  (ii) composing -through more deliberate matching of  lyrics to musical sounds]]> 2018-01-26 01:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_chow04/fhk0fn90ze67/wish/224913869 Creativity - Ideation amelia_chow04 https://padlet.com/amelia_chow04/fhk0fn90ze67/wish/224913870 Excellent: I generate  a large number of ideas of great variety, with a unique chosen idea.

Good: I generate a good number of ideas of good variety, with a credible chosen idea.

Developing: I generate some ideas of sufficient variety, with a predictable chosen idea.

Needs Improvement: I generate only a limited number of similar ideas, with a simplistic chosen idea.]]> 2018-01-26 01:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_chow04/fhk0fn90ze67/wish/224913870 Composing Music amelia_chow04 https://padlet.com/amelia_chow04/fhk0fn90ze67/wish/224913871 Stage 1: Chord progression (Bass line and Harmony)

What methods did you use to :
(i) overcome the technical difficulties of playing in this instrument / this piece of music  ?
(Aka recommend a problem solving method to another friend)
(ii) transfer the learning to another instrument?

However, they were burnt as I did not pay attention to them while they were in the oven.
1. My teacher's cupcakes are healthier as they were made with less butter, thus containing less fat.
2. I preferred my teacher's cupcakes as they were less buttery and cooked well.
3. I can put in less butter when baking the cupcakes, reduce the amount of sugar, and add healthier ingredients such as fruits or vegetables.
