Multimedia Music Composition

Administrator — 03/02/2010 22:33:55

We have seen and experienced 4 or more iPod apps and GarageBand. What will you use to create your 30 second soundscape? Will you use synthesized sound? Will you use acoustical sound (Music Concrete)? How about an electroacoustical composition! Do you enjoy the versitility of the iPod apps? How about the touch sensitivity in those apps? Or... is having a large screen seem to be the way to go? Is GarageBand the app you will use? Please let us know.

Error with AP Music Lessons

*Has anyone else found a blank row in their grades? If so, don't worry. Mrs. Leckey will remove the blank line.

*If you are having trouble with 6.1 or 6.2, make sure that you are building the four chord in each key. Ex. C Major - the answer is F-A-C. If you do the lesson more than once and it does not take the higher grade, please print it out and Mrs. Leckey will hand grade it.

A pioneer of chance music, electronic music and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. Critics have lauded him as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century.

If you could only be one artist, who would you be and why?

One of the students in AP music asked me this question and I had a hard time answering it. If I can only choose one person, it would have to be Claude Debussy. I truly enjoy learning his music and would love to know his strategies for creating a beautiful relaxed tone on the piano.

In AP music, you will work on the following skills: Sight-singing, melodic dictation, theory lessons, ear training, and composition. Which aspect of musicianship is your greatest strength? Do you have any suggestions to help students who are struggling with that aspect of musicianship?

It seems that every time I go to ¡Yo Soy Artista!, I see changes. Do students like the changes that the see?
