pop rock and soul- blog 7

Today, once again I sat around. Slightly helped the group with some of the information that we had to gather for the presentation. Me and Aaron thought of going to go practice but, aaron said we needed the rest of the group so we came back into the classroom and sat and helped. I got slightly bored and grabbed a guitar and started playing songs. Today was a goof off day, and we are ready to perform.

Pop rock and soul- blog 6

Today i sat beside my partners, and watched them do the rest of the project, because last time me and Aaron did the work. So today i was kind of slacking off, playing the guitar. But we're really close to finishing up. We got one more day of work time and then we present, I think we got this. We just need to get the last few slides finished, play the song one more time and we will be good to go.

Pop rock and soul- blog 5

Today we tried doing our power point presentation. WE got one of the points done. We had arguments about who computer we should do it on. Me and Aaron did most of the work today, while Xavar was playing the guitar and Till and Rodain were doing nothing. We really need to do our presentation, but we got down our performance. We just need to be cooperative and get it done...someday.

Reflection on arts week

During Arts Week we created braids and hung them next to the dove, posted pictures on the wall in the foyer about peace, heard some poems, had a few bands play for us during the week, and had a great ending assembly. I learned   how to braid with all the stringy things. I think that schools have arts week because they want to celebrate some type of freedom, what i meant as freedom was like you were allowed to do any types of art you felt like performing or showing. Also to make the school have a artistic and spirited feeling about them selves.

Pop rock and soul- blog 3

Today, Rodain and Till learned how to come in when they sing. I still needed to help them out a bit when they got stuck. But we played pretty well together. We actually finished the song, for the first time!!! We also recorded our selves, Mrs.Malone had suggested us to record our selves so we could see what we have to improve and if we were off (coordination). We did well!

Music performance- daily blog 2

Today we learned how to put the drum set together, with the help of Dr.Swan. Once again we played through the whole song without singing. We need to learn how to play together, so we if one of us loses our place then we can just get back in. Our singers are learning how to join in with us, they needed some assistance from me. But we just need to get the singing down and we're good.
