Personal Reflection on the Week
I did create an idea and the start to a melodic section with rhythm supporting it. This week was me exploring ideas and looking at Brahm’s Symphony No. 1 helped me to see what rules or ideas he had when composing his music.
Most Proud of…
I’m most proud of the melody and how it isn’t just about playing with the rhythm underneath it. I put offbeats in the melody to enhance it and I think it sounds really cool.
