Me, myself and I project

This video is all about me. It was quite annoying that I had go through thousands of pictures and get the most suitable one. I have made this video using iMovie, however, as I have never used them before, I had few troubles trying to add the music and adding the pictures to the movie. My video is the link below. I found many pictures that I don't even remember that it happened. I quite liked the project actually because as I was looking through the pictures, my sister who is currently 2 years old, came up to me and said it's her pointing at the picture of me when it was the first day of kindergarten. I am really sad that this is probably the last music project we are going to be having in this rotation, but at the same time, I am excited about what we are going to do in music in Gr. 8!

Cat's theme edited using mixcraft

This is my video for cat's theme. 

this video is edited using mixcraft. 

For this theme I have looked at the notes for the piano and I have learnt this theme by myself. As I had no one or it may be just that I didn't know, I didn't have anyone to teach me and I also thought this is a good chance for me to understand the notes and try playing them in a way that I thought. Also, my difficulty for this project was that when I practiced, I have managed to play well and I was successful, however, as I started to record, my fingers got mixed up and I couldn't play well. Then I asked my teacher and she said "record while you are practicing" so then I thought that I should look at the notes even while I am recording because that is the way I practiced my cat's theme.  I would like to try to use this way because I usually get scared when I am recording or playing/saying something in front of a lot of people. 

Wolf's theme edited using mixcraft.

This is my video for Wolf's theme edited using mixcraft. 

For this video, my difficulties where choosing the right part for the video itself because for this video, there is no introduction for the video. Usually there is one so it is easy to find but this one was the one that I struggled the most with. Playing the theme wasn't easy but wasn't hard either. I practiced the theme for a few times and I was able to play the theme. I liked this theme's tone. I would like to move on to my cat's theme which is something that I will be playing next!

Peter's theme using mixcraft

Completing this task was not as hard as the Hunter's theme. Although, Peter's theme was a little longer than any other themes, I liked it because it was not too hard for me if I look at the music notes.  After recalling my memories for this piece of music, I recorded them like a hundred times. This was due to the fact that I did't know how to speed up the tempo as when I record the music is too long for the video. As I learnt this technique, I would like to be using this skill in my Wolf's theme. I would like to make them as perfect as possible as I have not practiced my wolf's theme very much.

The video below is my Hunter's theme 

this video is made using mixcraft and the music played by me. 

As I had no partner for my work, I had a few problems as when I didn't understand something, I always had to ask people who is in other groups. At first, I didn't get how to use this Mix craft at all. However, since Mille helped me to do this work (like how to record me playing, how to edit the music, etc.) I have been able to complete this video. I will have to thank everyone who actually helped me to make this video. The part that I felt hard was when I finished recording, I had to edit them so that it will fit perfectly. I like this rhythm the best because it's short and uses only 2 keys on the piano so it is easy to remember too. As I was alone, I had some difficulties (as I am not very good with computer) but the part that was good being alone was that I didn't have to wait for my partner to record and make this video, which means I had more time. For someone like me, who is not good with computer, this time was useful because I did not have to stress about being behind. 

Wolf's theme

The link posted below is me playing my wolf's theme. It was hard to memorize the notes. However in one lesson, I have managed to get to a point were I record myself playing. As this piece of the music was very short I felt it easy. Because of this I have managed to get the notes. However, due to the fact there were flats and sharps, I felt that this music was a little difficult. At first, I didn't know where the keys are but as I kept on practicing, I began to challenge myself by playing without looking at the paper. I have learnt that if I don't give up, I can learn and memorise something no matter how short the time given is.

Peter's theme

This video is my Peter's theme. I liked the part when it goes like C D E F then back to C again. Peter's theme was using the flat and the sharp. I first felt that the timings were a little difficult but as I kept on playing them, I started to get the timings. At the end, I have managed to play this piece of music without the paper that says the music note. I think I liked the peter's theme so far (although I still have done just two piece of music) as I like the tempo o this misic
