My experience was great. We were all standing in the middle of the classroom just waiting to attempt at this new technology that had just been revealed to us, we used computers with the programs of garage band and we transferred files of us playing to documents and sent them to the professor where they then, put all of us on the same track and looped us all together to make an interesting track. We used the computers and we also used the smartboard to show the photos we were using to describe our sounds as we played beautiful music. The teachers were also playing along, Jon my grad assistant in that class i noticed about halfway through the experience he was also recording and sending in audio clips to add to the experience, they also helped us by giving us reliable ideas of how we would make the music work with the technology exactly.
This experience matters because you want to inspire creativity into music when I would become an ed director, the good in this experience is I had to learn how to do it not completely on my own but for the most part, and I learned more and I spent more time figuring stuff out on my own which is what I need to develop to be a teacher. The experience I had in class fostered my life long engagement in music by enlightening my music technology experiences and I also learned a bit of theory and how you can link of different instrument combinations to create still to be great music. The understandings and skills I had to draw were a bit basic like understanding how my instrument worked and how chords worked exactly. I had to work on some of my tuning interval because of how my interment is laid out I had to bend some pitches to match some of the other interments and fit into the sound of the group. The teachers tried to help us make sure we developed an understanding of these skills by having us work independently and learn for ourselves, we demonstrated our skills by sending files of us playing as a group and also by recording ourselves and transferring the file into a midi and sending it through a google doc. I feel that the next step may be some sort of small group song composition, I have gotten these ideas from the fact that we have been doing a lot of work with garage band recently and also since we ended up learning how to use notation software, all being key points of knowledge needed to start composing our own pieces. I also felt that working with the combination of interments from last class also helped with reveling the first step because I feel like we might be recording real players for some parts of our project to take something from what we do in the real world and put it into written and computer generated music. I feel as that possibly our class will begin by building some basic parts like so we did for our last "go make" assignment and then continue our steps from their in future classes.
