Week 7, 202111/7/2021 I added nine new measures to my song, and I have now gotten to the most exciting part of the piece.
I could actually end the piece where it is right now, but I still want to add maybe ten more measures. I really think that I am going to finish my project and do a good job on it. I am a little proud of my work, and I hope that everyone enjoys listening to it.

Week 6, 202110/31/2021 As I compose my song heading into the middle of the project, I feel like I have progressed a good amount. It is week 6 out of 12 and I feel like I am halfway done with my project, or at halfway done with my song. I hope to finish my song on week 11 so that I can have a week to practice preforming the actual piece.
I still have a bit of musician's writer's block, but I think I can overcome it by just playing random stuff on my piano and see what I like.

Week 5, 202110/20/2021 Sorry!I did not post a blog last week because I had many things to do. I did not work on the project at all and now I feel like I am behind.
This is starting to get stressing. I have trumpet and tennis practice. I have this project and a biology project. I also am struggling to get an A in English class. I really want this project to turn out great so that my grade in English can get boosted. I feel like a lot is riding on this project. I guess I better get to work...

Week 3, 202110/9/2021 So you may have noticed by now, but I am planing to make a new post every saturday or sunday. I will also only work on my project on the weekends. I do this because I am very limited on time during the weekdays. On the weekdays, I have homework, trumpet practice, tennis practice (i'm not on a team though), and playing Xbox playing with friends time. Right now, I feel like my piano piece is maybe one-third of the way done. The song writing is not getting any easier. I also cannot work on my project on school since I need a piano to experiment with. I'm unsure if I said it in the last blog or not, but I am using Noteflight to write my piece. I am still not a hundred percent sure what type of song it is though (I think it might be classical). Another thing that I have not done is picked the name of my song. When I finally decide on what the name should be though, I will rename my website to match the name of my song. 10/10/21

Week 2, 20219/30/2021 10/3/21 |
9/22/21As I heard Mr. Barker talk about this project, I died a little on the inside. I have always despised school projects, I have always found them enormous wastes of my time. But then, Mr. Barker further explained how this project is supposed to be one that measures progession of certain skills. This theoretically meant that my project could be whatever I wanted it to be. |
The Goal
If the project could be about whatever skill, then I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to do something that was piano related, specifically, compose a song. After all, how hard could it be?
As it turns out... VERY.
