POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking
This project challenged me to learn new skills for music writing and to find new ways to use chords to make melodies that I haven’t done before.
Ways of Working
This was an independent project so I didn’t collaborate with one and there wasn’t much communication needed to complete this project other than communicating about equipment.
Tools for Working
For this project, I used the notes app to write down ideas for the song and I used voice memos as well as the recording function on the keyboard to listen back to what I was working on.
Ways of Living in the World
Having songwriting skills could help me in my future in my career because I want to go into the music field and it might be important to understand the basics of how songs are written.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
I think I am going to continue to add and refine this song when we do our songwriting session. Overall I liked how it turned out and I think it just needs some more polishing, I need to add some more emotional aspects to the song like different dynamics.
