MUED4602 Task 3 Week 2 – Lesson 5: Eliza’s Aria ‘Mini Composition/Arrangement Project continued’

The intro DAW activity is a good way to introduce another work of the unit and mix up the type of activities that the students engage in. The manipulation of a wav file in a DAW, will broaden the student’s knowledge of the capabilities of technology. Lidy’s Piece by Kate Moore will peak student’s interest as it features many extended techniques on the cello; this will facilitate creativity as something simple as trimming a loop and adding a drum beat can result in each new piece having a vastly different character. I created the Diary Guide Sheet as a way to keep the mini project diary entries music-focused. It will help students make entries, critically think about the concepts of music, reflect on the learning process and prepare themselves for future assessments in high school and tertiary education.
