| 6/5 | come up with chord progressions and how I want to arrange the chords for the melody | 15 min | yes, I decided on an 8-chord progression., (Cm, B flat, Gm, Fm, Cm, B flat, Gm, A flat). I really like how mysterious and grand this progression is with the heroic chord at the end. |
| 6/6 | Decide how I want the left hand to be arranged (broken chords, inversions, etc.) | 25 min | yes, I decided on a 3/4 time signature where each note from the chord gets 1 beat but I might change that because I think it is a little too slow. |
| 6/7 | Do some improv over the chords in the left hand to get a feel for what I think sounds good. | 20 min | yes, I have tried writing music before but it didn’t have much structure and I didn’t know where to start so I think that this method of writing is more productive and easier. |
| 6/8 | start deciding on melodies | 35 min | yes, I decided to change the left hand to regularly broken chords and have a 4/4 time signature. I wanted to make the melody flow and I like how I have accomplished that so far. |
| 6/9 | finalize melodies and rhythms | 15 min | yes, I felt like this practice was necessary to lock in the song so I could feel good about it. For the rest of class, I listened to and started looking at some songs I want to learn over the summer. |
