There were 2 new resources this week, a graphic arts notation resource and a HSC extended response question. The graphic arts notation came from https://katebilton.wixsite.com/ecp711/lesson-two-j7iai. The only thing I did, is cut some of the images out as I thought they were too similar and would have been hard to distinguish between. I made a …

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 …
The introductory sight-singing activity not only helps students practice their sight-singing which is an integral part of the unit, but also preludes the idea of arranging music by moving musical ideas around in a different order. In the cut outs, I used C major 4/4 time; there is a lot of logical steps and leaps …
As I was reading about Elena Kats-Chernin, I discovered some musical influences of hers, and thought it would be beneficial for students to engage in some study of their work. I incorporated a work from Tchaikovsky and Brahms for a melodic dictation, performance activity and comparative analysis in order to give a broader scope of …
I decided to create a simple yet fun activity that I think it will help break up the tone of the lesson. This way the lesson is not all notation reading, not all strictly teacher-directed and it allows students to use devices. Knowledge gained from the internet scavenger hunt will be more memorable to the …

POL and the Techosaurus The presentation of learning was a fun experience and it was great to see what everyone else had done for their project. I got to talk to a few people and had some interesting discussions on my project. One man asked me if I solved the ‘latency’ problem on Soundtrap, I …
This is the latest recording of my project but I aim to keep improving it up until the day of presentation https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XVNxn4c6R59VNasUOaxUkGNAM42S7pQX. I learned a few basic recording principles, it’s better to record (for example) a guitar lead track completely on the same day or at least write down all the amp and special effect …
This was by far the hardest song I have learned this semester, it features a lot of 9ths and sus chords and as you can see I struggled qite a bit. ‘Every Breath You Take’ by The Police was taken from the KAME song list and I chose it cause I thought it would be …
Today I did a review of all songs I have learned thus far and practiced playing them in another key. I practiced ‘Mental as Anything’ in the key of D, ‘April Sun in Cuba’ in the key of E and the Blues progression in the key of D. I wanted to refresh everything I’ve learned …
Added some electric guitar lead, electric guitar rhythm and drum hits. I experimented with the dynamic and condenser mics, so now there a bunch of snippets that aren’t part of the main song but are there to compare different tones or use parts of them later. I didn’t think this would happen but I actually …
