Reflection
I thought that this assessment task was very hard because we had to make music with no guidance. In this task I learnt how to make my own music and also how to put that music into a revolving slideshow.
I improved this task by going and practicing a lot on the keyboard so it could be perfect. I identified the bad parts of my music by going over it with the members of my family to see if it was good enough. The best part of my music was the animations that went in the back while my music was playing. The bit that I had trouble with was the part where I had to figure out where I could play the music and where I could put it into. I overcame this part by asking my sister to see if she had any good websites and she did. The references that I used were: http://www.kizoa.fr/ and http://virtualpiano.net/. The references helped me because they basically finished the project for me. I just thought the whole project was hard and there was no easy bits. I did not think that this unit was fun because it was extremely hard and I did not get the work in o time. I did not have any previous knowledge on this task but I handled it pretty well.
You were supposed to relate this task to the characters we looked at in Peter and the Wolf remember. We spent a lesson discussing the characteristics of the characters and how they were represented in their music. We discussed the rhythms, instruments, pitch used. We then discussed how our own characteristics could be represented. I recommended to the class to use repetition as a form to extend your melody and we looked at how twinkle twinkle little star was structured, repetition that was exact & repetition that was a note higher, repetition of the whole idea and repetition of part of an idea.
