Music Performance Evaluation

What did you perform? 

I didn't 

With who?

 Jaymee

Why did you choose that song?

 We had decided to perform Can't Help Falling In Love- Elvis Presley, we chose this song because it has a really nice, simple yet detailed rhythm

Were you happy with your performance?

 I was slightly disappointed that we didn't have it finished in time to present, so no

If you could perform again what would you change?

 I would actually perform next time :)

Reflection

Today Zavier drew our diagram and I continued researching, finishing our body writing. Him and I are working together fine, and we're up to date with most our work. We'll need to buckle down a little bit more and start Woking on presentation next lesson.

Today I mainly tried to focus on finishing my short Essay, I also began to create a diagram showing the order of events for the Earthquake and Tsunami. Unfortunately I strayed a little off topic but will clean it up next week. Overall was a pretty solid lesson.

The research today went really good, I got down a lot of needed and helpful notes.

I'll focus a little more on working with my pair to insure we're both on the same page about the task.

Creative Piece, London To New Zealand

London To New Zealand

London To New Zealand

London was always a very crowded place, there weren’t enough general services to match the
population. Not enough departure stations, Police stations or stores. With the population being
so large, the crime rates were big. Most crimes committed were just petty thefts, assaults and
drunk disorderly. Still, hardly any of these crimes were ever brought upon a judge. Almost a
quarter of the people living in London could afford proper housing, they were forced to live in
utter slum and insanity. It sometimes even cost to use a public toilet. Overall London was an
awful place to live, people were getting constantly sick because literal raw sewage was being
pumped into the local rivers causing multiple outbreaks. It was horrific.

There were some posters put up around the bars and stores promoting this country called “New
Zealand”. The sign read all about “Huge Land Masses” and many freedoms, it was intriguing
and I was convinced.

The journey was average. Everyone that couldn’t afford upper class were crammed into a small
section of the ship. The estimated travel time was up to 6 months, possibly more. The food mainly consisted of fish and soups, people would just bring their own supplies as the ship offered very little and unappetizing dishes.

We arrived in New Zealand 5 months and 8 days after leaving London. I settled very quickly and
easily, back in London I only earned 1 pound an hour, however here I didn’t get showered
in money, but I was earning a lot more than I ever had before I moved, So being able to
buy a small house here was really exciting. I got a cottage  In Wellington. It had a beautiful
view of the ocean. There wasn’t anyone for miles, it was quiet and the weather was calm.
The locals were generally kind, I felt safe. I was home.

Composition Techniques

What have I learnt about it? 

That the tone and genre of music can tell a story, and set the vibe. You can express emotions easily with the right technique.

What is the best technique I've tried? I liked advertising music. I think it's cool how someone can put together tunes and make whatever they're promoting persuasive. They can set a vibe and almost put you into the mood for the advertisement.

Which type of composition do you want to try for your assessment?
