This project will help us learn how to communicate as a group to fix certain issues. Not only will it help us learn how to develop and play pieces on our own, but it will show us how important practicing is. If we don't work as a group to practice, learn, and develop our pieces, the outcome may not be as good as we had hoped.]]> 2019-03-04 14:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/337475699 khayitbek55 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/337475933 My goal for this Chamber Project is perfecting the ability to play in a small ensemble. Each group has unique sound, in other words different variety of instruments makes a different contribution in sound. Last year our group did a really good job on playing together and playing the rhythms correctly. This year our goal is to stay in tune, focus on the accidentals, and contrast. I hope this project can give us the confidence to play in a public area.]]> 2019-03-04 14:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/337475933 milk_box_tm https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/337477722 My goal for this project is to be able to play well in a small ensemble. I want all of us to be able to play together at the same tempo without anyone being ahead of the other. One of the most important parts to me is being musical with our pieces both during practice and performance. Overall, I hope we can cooperate with each other and have a good final result.]]> 2019-03-04 14:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/337477722 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/343341983 As we have progressed through this project, we are definitely better than when we started. Although we still have some pieces that need work, we have been actively working on problematic areas. For example, the upper strings have had a hard time with their melody in Canon in D, but as the lower string instrument, I’ve tried to keep a steady beat to make it as easy as possible for the upper strings. Personally, I have had trouble with measures 28-32 in Viva La Vida, but Ms. Glasgow and Michelle have both helped me figure out what it is supposed to sound like. Despite being the only lower string instrument, my group members have made it easy to figure out areas I have problems with. I believe that by the time performance day comes, we will be even more ready than we already  are. ]]> 2019-03-20 14:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/343341983 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345699181 our group practicing Fantasia on an Original Theme 3/7/19]]> 2019-03-27 13:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345699181 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345699711 3/18/19 practicing Snowflake ]]> 2019-03-27 13:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345699711 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345711928 (part1) practicing Fantasia mm 25-50]]> 2019-03-27 14:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345711928 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345712692 (part2) practicing Fantasia mm 25-50]]> 2019-03-27 14:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345712692 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345912885 Overall, this project much more different than the past two years we have done it. I feel like since we have done it for four years, it is harder to execute a nice performance and at the same time come up with new ideas. Our performance ended up going much better than I expected it to go, only because I feel like we did not have as much time to practice as we have in the past. Even then, my group and I managed to practice all the areas we struggled with in time for performance day. Personally, I feel like Viva La Vida sounded the best when we performed; I honestly thought it would be Fantasia. As a musician, this project taught me how to figure out certain notes, shifts, and rhythms required for each piece. This project has definitely helped me improve my skills as a musician, helped me figure out how to do things on my own, and to work with other students from my class.]]> 2019-03-27 21:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/345912885 khayitbek55 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350342704 2019-04-10 13:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350342704 milk_box_tm https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350343560 For our songs, they're okay so far but we need to work on staying together for Canon in D. Fantasia is our best piece, and there are only a few spots in Snowflake where we rush as a group. For me, I need to work on intonation and dynamics. It's a lot harder to do dynamics in a small group but I think we will improve in time for the performance.]]> 2019-04-10 13:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350343560 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350343584 2019-04-10 13:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350343584 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350343926 2019-04-10 13:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350343926 gabycastellon98 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350344212 PERFORMANCE DAY!!!!!! ]]> 2019-04-10 13:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350344212 milk_box_tm https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350344983 Overall, I think the performance went really well. We were the last group playing so I was nervous while everyone was watching. Though I did make a few mistakes, it was not incredibly noticable and didn't cause the group to stop playing. We went on through all of our pieces and sounded good. Everyone played clear and I think my intonation got to where I wanted to be. Our best piece was Fantasia and Viva la Vida sounded a little off at times but it did not ruin our performance. We did really good as a group once we got out spot settled and our pieces in order.]]> 2019-04-10 13:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350344983 khayitbek55 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350346348 The progression we have made throughout the project was more beneficial this year due to more experience. The group all collaborated throughout each part. We helped eachother on each difficult part in the pieces. This year I changed the way I practiced by playing a part and listening to the same exact part on YouTube which helped me vision myself playing the same exact part. Gaby, Michelle, and Sam all understood my struggles and baby stepped me through it. Later on, I started to recognize the parts and I played it very well.]]> 2019-04-10 13:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350346348 khayitbek55 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350346666 2019-04-10 13:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350346666 khayitbek55 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350349732 In conclusion, we progressed very far and played very well. There were some issues we could have worked on more ,but we chose to focus more on other aspects. Sam and I both reflected off eachother because we were the only violins in our group. Overall, I liked this project because it helped me understand and upgrade my music knowledge. Playing with this group helped me with my anxiety and play in public.]]> 2019-04-10 13:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/350349732 delacruzsammie9 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/351531175 my goal for this project was to learn how to break down music as an individual with the details of all the music we played and also playing with others in different parts to create one good sounding ensemble. The most important part of this project was being able to play the correct notes with the same tempo as the rest of the group, if one of us played too fast it would throw off the rest of us.]]> 2019-04-15 01:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/351531175 delacruzsammie9 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/351531992 the amount of progress we as a group have made together was one of the best parts of this project. we came together as a group not being able to stay together, not being able to get our parts, to being able to learn our music for each other to understand and we can finally put our parts together to make good sounding music. for example canon in D no everyone knew their parts and couldn’t stay with us so all of us having similiar parts we learned our part to teach other members of our group. we learned to work with what we have ]]> 2019-04-15 01:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/351531992 delacruzsammie9 https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/351532674 Although this project was completely different from our pasts, i think the amount of work we have done in such little time was an amazing thing to see. Not all of us were ready for this snd the amount of time but we made it work through. in my opinion our group put the most and best work into fantasía that had our performance sound so much more different then everyone else ]]> 2019-04-15 01:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gabycastellon98/in2ydu0bn7ci/wish/351532674
