Band reflection 3

1. Which adjectives did you choose to convey? Do you think you were successful in conveying those adjectives? Why or why not

I choose slow and gentle but most of my song is fast but the middle part (measure 19-33) Is kinda slow and gentle so overall I didn't choose a song that went with my adjectives that well but at the same time did.

1. How did your first draft compare to your final recording?  Did you make good improvements?  Were you happy with your final draft?

I think my first draft was sloppy Meaning For example On my first draft I wasn't always on a seady rhythm and I would play some wrong notes but on my second recording It took me only two tries to play through the whole song and it was a lot better.

1. Which measures or musical elements did you think sounded the best? What sounded so good about them?  Give at least 2 examples.

I think the chorus of this song (measures 1-16) sounded the best because It reminded me of a song I used to listen when I was small, I think it was in a cartoon or something like that.

1. Which measures or musical elements sounded weak?  How could you have fixed them?  Give at least 2 examples that you weren’t happy with.

29 and 30 in my opinion could have been b]made differently because the notes before measure 29 were fast it it only sounded right if measure 30 was fast as well.

1. Which measures were the easiest for you to prepare?  Why did you find them easy?  Give at least 2 examples.

I think the middle slow part was the easiest because I understood the tempo right away and could understand how and when the next note would come in but as for the chorus it was a lot harder because their was a rhythmic beat that I still needed a little but of work on.

1. Which measures were the most difficult for you to learn?  What made them challenging?  Give at least 2 examples.

The last 2 measures where the hardest to learn because it went from a low note to a high note and It was kinda challenging at first also measure 7&8 were challenging because it went fast and they are all high notes.

1. Which steps in learning process did you find the most helpful?  Why were these so helpful?

The counting and clapping helped me a lot because it helped me with the new rhythmic beat that I wasn't understanding.

1. The next time you rehearse a solo, what would you do differently to prepare?

I could practise more on my own time and ask more when I didn't understand something.
