Soundtrack of my life

 This week in Hur 1 my class have been working on making a DLO ( digital learning object) to introduce yourself to the class. We had 4 options, a letter of introduction, my life through photographs, sound track of my life and a digital bio tile, I chose the sound tack of my life. Based on the one we picked we were then told what to do. For the soundtrack of our life we had to choose 4-6 songs that reminded us of someone, an event, a tradition or just something important to us. I chose 4 songs and in my slideshow you will see the reason why I choose that song and if you want to listen to the song click on the photo it will send you to the song. Thank you for reading my blog if you have any suggestions for what I could have done different

Music moods

 Today in Music we were tasked to find songs that bring us 6 different emotions, happy, sad, calm/focused, irritated, energetic and one other emotion of our choice, I chose safe/secure. To figure out how the songs made me feel I listened to them then wrote down the emotions it made me feel, and the reasons. here Is my list with links.

Sad: Hero and Villan

I feel like I've been through a situation similar to whats going on in the song

Happy: Kiss your dreams goodbye

Hur 2 counting the beat. Introduction to music

 This week in Hur 2 we have started music classes. Currently we are working around the topic Counting the beat. Today we are posting about our introduction to music.

Here is the dictionary definition of music                          

And here is our definition                                                                                                                                  

A sound that people listen to as a source of inspiration that has a rhythm, beat, melody and can bring a certain emotion.

We identified multiple types of music from pop and country to blues and looping here is a list of some types we identify

pop, rock, rap, looping, blues, jazz, funk, orchestra, dub step +more

We hear music a lot we hear music and places like 

Malls, concerts, youtube, spotify etc 

In counting the beat I hope to learn about rhythm and using timing to determine the beat of a song.
