  • 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

It was when i got to play the piano. This is because i love music and i have never owned a piano. It was great to get to learn and explore piano. I was feeling proudest when I could play a simple song fluently on piano with both hands.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
It was creating my own music because it was hard to find music that sounds right together in garage band.

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]]> 2018-03-21 11:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/244463189 Creativity - Ideation jiaen_chia04 https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/244463190 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.]]> 2018-03-21 11:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/244463190 Composing Music jiaen_chia04 https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/244463191 Stage 1: Chord progression (Bass line and Harmony)

Think out of the box and branch out from different ideas. I can merge different ideas together to form something unique and include my imagination in my art.
Project Management:
I should plan before I start. I would plan my drafts first and set how many lessons i should take to finish it. I should also leave about 1/3 of the lesson to just touch up (if everything goes to plan). I would also take note of the time that we are given and plan ahead.
Expression:
I will draw an art that will convey something that makes you looks deeper into the meaning. I will use the different painting techniques to make my artwork more interesting and compelling.

My proudest moment was when I finished my canvas and saw my art piece as a whole. I felt happy and satisfied that my hard work paid off.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was painting. I could not grip the brush properly while painting and could not control how thick or thin the brush would be on the paper. However, I overcame that a little by trying to paint slower and with less force. ]]> 2018-03-21 11:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/244463208 My Goals for the Module jiaen_chia04 https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/244463209 - to learn how to time manage when cooking and learn various ways to cook.

The proudest moment was when i served my dish because although i made mistakes, i was glad i preserved most of my pastry and serve it.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was usually cook a meal as i found it hard to multi task on different dishes, like the rice and the meat and the vegetables. I got really confused with the timings.

Compared to my teacher's healthier version of our cupcake. (pictures below)  Our cupcakes are darker than our teacher's. Both of them rose up nicely. The texture of the healthier one was more crumbly and harder. The taste of it was less flavourful as there were lesser butter and sugar added.

We can make our cupcakes healthier by adding lesser sugar and butter. We can also add fruits into our cupcakes, like blueberries, strawberries and also nuts, like walnuts and almonds.

I prefer the less healthy version because it was much more fragrant and tastes richer than the healthier one.

In what ways have you met the task demands? (Keywords : healthy, manipulative
skills)
- I made a dish that is healthy because of the inclusion of fruits (blueberries) and the exclusion of whipped cream.

Reflect on the practical test session
❏ Were you able to manage time?
- Yes, I did everything to time as i have practiced doing it at home..
❏ Did you face difficulties? How did you overcome them?
- I burnt my shortcake. I decided to cut off the burnt pieces and formed another format for presentation.
❏ How would you have done it differently?
- I would have added more variety of fruits like strawberries. I could have also aerate my mixture to give it a more softer feel.

Reflect on the food blogging process
❏ How useful were the nutritional tools?
- It helped me organise my ingredients and was part of my decision making for the final recipe.
❏ How manageable were the manipulative skills for you?
- I think i managed the manipulative skills quite well but not the best.
❏ How purposeful were the investigative activities in helping you come
up with your final creation?
- They helped me arrive at a final recipe which i thought was manageable with the time and it has nutritional value. ]]> 2018-09-13 04:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/280653769 Blog 6 jiaen_chia04 https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/283731010 we learned how to mash potatoe and ]]> 2018-09-20 04:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jiaen_chia04/ldb1lcjmye7h/wish/283731010
