Music - Reflection
I think our group did amazingly, we can play in time with the drums, guitars and singing. Were still working on our piano part and getting it to match the rest of the song but otherwise we are on track to be able to preform at the end of the term. I did my techniques well and I think that it's getting easier to play them in time and at a good sound level.

Music - Chords
Today in music we learnt about chords. We practised on a piano and we did "Common Chord Progression" We learnt how to play a few chords and then we played them back to a partner who had to guess what chord it was. We learnt the difference between major and minor, major is mostly bright and happy but the minor is more dull and dark.
A chord is 2 or more notes played at the same time.
We learnt the chord progressions:
C, F, G
Am, F, G
G, C, D
Em, C, D

Music
Today we learned about the different time periods of music eg: Classical, Baroque, Romantic and others.
We started learning about structural charts to learn how to write our own music and hear the different instruments in songs.

Music - Harpsichord vs Piano
Sounding mechanism. A piano is a “struck string instrument” that makes sounds by striking strings with hammers and vibrating them. A harpsichord is a “plucked string instrument” that makes sounds by plucking strings with plectrums and vibrating them.
Music - Baroque and Classical Music
Baroque:
Some forms of music identified with Baroque were originated in Italy, including cantata, concerto, sonata, oratorio and opera.
Baroque is a word used to describe Western European art music from the 1600 to 1750.
Classical:
The classical period is between the baroque and romantic periods. This means that music from the classical period is music composed between about 1750 to 1820.
Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than Baroque music and is less complex.
