Plans for presentation

So, the presentation day is getting closer and closer and is slowly making me stressed out. Before the making my presentation, I would like to meet up with one of my good friends, Sukie, to have her record for me. Since I am making a song, it would actually be really nice to listen to it. Performing in front of the class isn't what I really want to do, and to be honest, I'd rather not do it at all, so having the song pre-recorded would be best. I'm hoping that everything I'm trying to do will eventually fit in the time limit. Wish me luck!!

Practice Makes It Better!

This week I am working on performing the song. Practice only makes it better! It sounds nice but it can still be improved. While playing though, I might just make changes to the piece. Other than that, I haven't done much this week. After this week, I plan to see if I can record the song over the break for the final presentation. I'm not so sure if I can perform it in person for the Tedtalk. Perhaps I can help me friend too with her project since her's is based on youtube videos.

Sorry!!

Hey guys, I'm really sorry that I have been absent for a few weeks. I've been busy with school work and my memory had gotten the best of me when it came to updating the blog. I have made some changes to the song and slowly progressing in the song. Sadly though, because of all my work, it wasn't enough progress that I really wanted. I'm hoping to make up for the time lost during the few weeks during spring break! Perhaps I might even finish it completely too. :DD

Woops!

So, I haven't done much work on the song this week sadly. I had a bit of a writers block when it came to adding on to the previous measures. I'm hoping to have better luck with the song this week unlike the last. To give an idea of the song so far, I believe that I already have the main melody and the bridge down. I'm not quite sure if what I have in the middle is the bridge, but since it sounds different and the tempo has increased by a few degrees, I think it counts as the bridge. Figuring that out, I believe that I am closer to completely finishing the song!

Updates!!

I finally have music paper! I can now rewrite what I have so far and continue with making me song. I've added in a few more measures and so far, the song sounds really nice. While I was making it, I thought about how I was actually going to present it. Perhaps I'll ask a friend to help me record and I'll include the video in my final presentation. Other than that, I haven'y done much. I think if I come across a point in time where I don't know what to write next, I'll meet with my mentor again to get help. I have a lot of hope for this song. Too bad I still don't have a name for it.

Just A Plain Busy Week

I've gotten quite a lot of the piece done! I believe I'm up to about 20 measures now. Sadly, I still haven't gotten official sheet paper, which quite don't understand how, but all that matters is the progress that is being made. Hopefully i can post a picture of what I have so far soon.As for what I've done this week, surprisingly, I haven't done much. All I've completed was a few more measures. I had been caught up with so much work that I hadn't found time to write more. Since it's the weekend, I'm going to try to do better!

Progress!

Well, my memory got the best of me again, but I actually remembered to bring in my song. During the entire week, I kept forgetting to bring in my written melody to show to Mrs. Schreibman, but I finally remembered! Now I can truly start making progress in my project. Now all I have to do is start on my pitch. I've already tried planning out what I'll be doing for the next few months. I'm quite happy since I'm actually getting somewhere now with this assignment.
