Recording compositions
Hi Elective students,
This week you need to start thinking about recording our pieces for the assessment task. Even if you have only chords etc you can record them and put the vocals in later. If you are doing a solo piano piece see me and I will get you to play it into the computer and create a score. Make sure you can play with a beat for the recording.
If you need help recording using the computer see me or another stuident who has done it. I CANNOT SUPERVISE EVERY STUDENTS RECORDING AS THERE ARE 50 ELECTIVE MUSIC STUDENTS THIS YEAR. you need to take on the task of learning how to do a basic recording.
There is a link list on this blog for Garage Band recording instructions and I will put some up for Acid Pro 6/Express.
Enjoy! Mr B.

Power Chords
G'Day Year 8,
There is a new link here to some lesons online all about power chords. You will have done a worksheet and some composing using power chords but this info is a great resource if you forget how to do them. Power Chords are mostly used for rock music with the distortion sound on the amplifier. We will have a go at them next lesson I am around.
Check out the list on the left hand side of this site as there are some awsome lessons and content if you are into playing guitar.
Enjoy! Mr B.
