Practice Your Intervals

As part of your preparation for your aural exams, you should be practising your intervals (hum them, name them by singing them). Use Auralia in the computer suite to help you or quiz each other.

A-Ha will help you with the Major 7th– “Take on (M7)”:

Composition: Your Best Recording

As you Year 11s and 13s finish up your compositions, please be aware that I need your best possible recording.

And I would prefer this uploaded to your box (see your class’ Composition page for instructions how to do that)

For example, some of you are using Sibelius 6 or GuitarPro at home, EXPORT your composition as a WAV or MP3 file. This will give you better sound than Sibelius 4 (which is what I currently have).

Talk to me if you would like to record your piece live-- this still needs to be done by the due date!

Year 12s– though you have already turned in your final compositions, please confirm with me that I have the best recording of your piece so I can replace the Sibelius 4 version I have created.

Performances on YouTube

Would you like us to upload your performance to the Waimea Music YouTube Channel? Please give us your permission verbally (as Michael did) or leave a comment here requesting this.

It’s always OK to upload YOUR OWN performances to your own YouTube pages. Grab them from K Drive while they are still there.

Remember, for a GROUP PERFORMANCE you need permission from EVERY GROUP MEMBER before you upload!
