In the Woodshed |
Description: The woodshed is where you work on your playing technique. You will set a goal (to improve some aspect of your playing or learn a new technique) and work to achieve your goal which will be evidenced by creating a video of your playing for Mr. E to watch. |
Timeframe: Flexible. The time this will take depends on your goal. |
Make a Video playing along with a Song |
Description: You will choose a song of your choice, learn your instrument’s part and then make a video playing along with it. |
Timeframe: This project will take probably four to six periods to learn, perform and share the song. |
Perform a song with classmates using iMovie or Acapella App |
Description: You will learn to perform one part of a song and a classmate (s) will learn another. Then using either iMovie or the new Acapella App for phones, you will create one video. You will submit this video to Mr. E for your evaluation, but he won’t share it. |
Timeframe: The timeframe of this project involves learning the song, recording, and any postproduction work necessary (depending on which software you use). |
Perform a song with your family members |
Description: You will learn a song with at least one other family member. Sharing a video of this song with Mr. E would be great, but you can also share a photo of your family playing together with a short written description for your evaluation as well. |
Timeframe: The time frame depends on how long it takes for your family to learn how to play the song and then scheduling a time to perform. (Perhaps, after dinner in the kitchen? :). ) |
