Music Notes, Name and Symbols

Reflection On Last Class

My Class Reflection  

In my last music class, we learnt the different notes in music for example like Semibreves, Minims, Crochets, Quavers and semi Quavers. We learnt how to play those notes on the piano and the wrong ways to use them. We also played a game called "Don't clap this beat back" where there was this particular beat we weren't supposed to clap whenever Mrs. Cross clapped that beat, we were only meant to clap the beat that didn't sound like that. I don't think I did so well in that game but it was my first time so I will try to do better next time.

MYP Identity Through Music

My name is Karan and i am in year 7AA, This is my MYP Arts Process Journal. On this blog you will find documented evidence of my learning through the Arts|Drama|Music. This term I am starting my learning journey in Music. My strongest Arts subject is Drama and i want to develop my skills in Art and Music.

Key Concept: Communication & Identity

Related Concept: Expression

Global Context: Identities & relationships; Personal & Cultural Expression

Statement of Inquiry: The process of artistic creation can lead to self-discovery.

Inquiry Questions: (Factual) What elements can be identified as specific to a characteristic/personality? (Conceptual) To what extent does the identity of the artist impact on the artwork? (Debatable) Is everyone an artist? Can I represent myself through music? How do different cultures represent themselves through music?
