COMING UP WITH AN IDEA AND A PLAN

Medli's Melodies: A stripped-down jazz improvisation of 'Zelda's Lullaby' -  Zelda Universe

MY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AS AN ARTIST BEFORE STARTING MY PROJECT.

I am not that great at art. I have done some things I enjoyed but I didn’t really like the end project. I don’t want to draw or paint because I don’t enjoy that much but I do want to do something practical and learn something new. I really like gaming and I like the music and art you see in games. My teacher gave me a couple of piano lessons and we came up with these strengths and weaknesses:

Strengths

I am good at playing slow relaxing music on the piano

I have a good memory for notes

I am good at practising rhythm

Making up my own music and being creative

Weaknesses

My brain shuts off if there is too many notes

Sometimes I find it hard to focus

Moving my hands quickly is tricky

I don’t have a piano at home so I can’t practice

Music that I like

BRAHMS LULLABY – JOHANNES BRAHMS

I personally liked everything about his music. I mostly liked the background noise going so well with it.

CLAIR DE LUNE – CLAUDE DEBUSSEY

Follow this link to the music

I love the mood and the feeling of this music.

Moonlight Sonata – Ludvig Van Beethoven

Follow this link to the music

The music sounded depressing although I still liked everything about it.
It had an amazing rhythm. My favourite part is: 3:22 – 3:49

Someone You Loved – Lewis Capaldi

I don’t really like the singing but I liked the piano a lot.

Somewhere – from the musical West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein

Although I didn’t really like the singing in this, I really like how the singing and instruments become louder as it becomes more emotional.

Thinking about all of this music the things I would like to develop in my music are:

1)Tone

2)Mood

3)Emotion

4)Instrumental skill

5)Atmosphere

MY INTERESTS AND IDEAS

MY ACTION PLAN

I like sleeping! I also like music. I have never learned to play a musical instrument but I think now is the time to learn a new skill.

My challenge is: Compose a lullaby that will help people to relax and get to sleep.

For the final box, I didn’t get to fill it in before schools closed the first time so it should say:

To evaluate my project I will:

  • Let my friends listen to it and see what they think
  • Send it to any musicians that helped me with it and see what they think
  • Create a survey to send around and get opinions on the lullaby
  • Measure it against my goals
