Mixcraft for peters theme


Here is my project that I worked on with Omar. It took us a lesson to finish this theme on his account and mine. The techniques were the same as last time but this time we had to crop most of the short film only to peter's theme. We started off by uploading the peter and the wolf story again onto mix-craft, We searched for peter's theme then deleted the musical instrument playing of the video and recorded myself playing the theme. We learnt a new technique that we can move the audio into different areas on the block.

I think I have done quite well and also worked really effectively with my partner on this. I have given effort and i hope you enjoy it. Omar has played it differently then he learnt it properly with my help.

Mixcraft for hunters theme



Here is my project that I worked on with Omar. It took us 2 lessons to figure out how to work with mix-craft and understand the way of uploading deleting and also recording. We started off by uploading the peter and the wolf story onto mix-craft, when we uploaded the mix-craft the audio came with it as well. We searched for the hunters theme then deleted the audio of the video and recorded myself playing the video.

I think I have done quite well and also worked really effectively with my partner. I have improved my piano playing and my pitch and note reading.

My pitch notes homework

In class we had to pick ten letters and turn them into music notes. We had to try and find the largest words and write pitch notes. Most of the notes in between the lines and in a specific area. It was such fun and educative doing this I really hope we get homework like this instead of boring ones. It took me ten minutes to finish it off and post it on my blog.  The longest word we found was decabbaged which was 10 letters long. I hope it is good and everyone will learn from it. This s my homework and in class we are in progress of learning all the themes.

Wolf's Theme

Wolf"s Theme:



Reflection:
When I have done the wolf's I thought it was easier than the peter's theme because of the notes and pitches. I think I have done really well and I have also really enjoyed playing it because of the rhythm. I have a piano at home and that is why I am ahead of class and lessons. I practice twice a week just to remember the themes by heart.

Peter's theme

Peter's Theme

 Reflection:
The peters theme was harder than the hunters theme because there were many more note and many more places you had to play on. I used flats for the first time. It was harder and more complicated than the hunters theme but I have learnt it really quickly. I am improving my piano skills really quickly and I am also helping others in learning the themes when I have finished.

Pitch notes


At the top are the pitch notes and they are the letters you play on the piano with. To remember it you have to remember the first letters of Every Good Boy Deserves Football and face for the notes and pitches between the lines.

The one on the left is the table which has the amount of beats the note has while playing the piano. There are five main ones  Semibreve, Minim, Crotchet, Quaver, Semiquaver. These are all used to play wonderful music and entertain others. In class we were practicing the beats by clapping our hands and playing different beats from the wolfs theme and peters theme.

Hunter's Theme

Hunters Theme

 Reflection: It was the first time I have ever heard of the theme and I have learnt it really quickly and I have enjoyed it as well. The keys used here were the middle C and G to make the music.  The keys were marked on the piano for me because I was a beginner and I learnt how to read notes write them and write the pitches in order to spell a common word.I really had fun and it did not take as much time to learnt it for others as well. I want to do more of these themes so I can play all of them and learn more.
