Google project is now done, more in the future?

This project has been very interesting and beneficial to me! I had not realized how hard composing is without piano skills, so along the way I learned some knowledge of how the cords and harmonization should sound with each other. After learning basic and essential skills, my group and I worked together to fit the piece to our instruments, while still having it sound good. A feat that I never thought would be so difficult! After accomplishing our goal, I feel very proud of the piece that we have created as well as feeling a new found respect for all composers. Writing three parts was hard, imagining composing for a whole band would be extremely difficult! I would love to do this project again, especially since my group has already started brainstorming other ideas. :) If I had the skills for it, I would continue composing but that may be my next project, learning piano and more about music theory!
I will miss this google project,

Mission Accomplished

Well, our google project was finished and presented and now I feel... melancholy. With this project I hoped to learn about music composition/ arrangement and that is exactly what I got out of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of this project in which we were given this immense opportunity to use our time to the fullest.  Quite often I think of learning an instrument or writing a song but I never have the time OR the motivation but this project forced me to put time into it. I would most DEFINITELY want to do this project again as I feel incredibly enriched after finishing. In conclusion, this project is greatly beneficial and should be repeated!

GAH! Almost Done!

I also forgot to post after our work party last weekend. In it we finished the minor details in our score to tweak the song to near perfection! As one of my partners said we are in two different bands; I am in the 2nd band while the other two are in a different one. I believe the day I will be presenting on is Thursday of this week and I'm hoping it will go fantastically!

Last time!

last google day for the semester :( Our project has made me more knowledgeable in the art of composing, it is very difficult!
I forgot to post after my group worked on our project last Saturday. We practiced our piece together, and proved it sounded amazing! However, due to the different classes that my group is spread across, our presentation will be played by the program. Wish we could have played it live!
the project is done and successful!!
