Going into the studio for my first few sessions I was pretty confident. I seemed to have a pretty good grasp on the software, and I have quite a bit of experience making music electronically. Each time I went in, I felt that I had come out with a better piece, and I was making significant progress. I was quite content with my project, rendered it out, and gave it another listen later that evening, and I suddenly hated it. Maybe it was just from listening to it too much, or maybe I was just blinded by the new tools to really analyze what I was making, but I couldn’t bear the thought of handing it in as my project, so in my last studio session, I started over. And overall, I sincerely think it’s a better track.
The main areas that I think I went wrong in while working on my first project were the instrumentation, the sound design, and the overall staleness of the beat. The different sounds did not work together very well. They were not working melodically or rhythmically. Furthermore, the individual sounds that I created were often just bad. My bass was muddy, my lead synth was boring, and my samples weren’t great. Finally, I could not come up

This one didn’t use any drum hits, instead it had different instrument’s samples, as well as a vocal sample. I browsed through many options, and settled on four unique sounds, a Rhodes piano sample, a vocal choir’s note, a didgeridoo and a flute phrase. For effects, I add some low-pass filters to take some edge off of some sounds, and used compression and reverb to tighten up or loosen up some of the sounds. I also added a mute modifier to a blank pad to mute the kit while playing, to move with the percussion. I played with these sounds for a while, and while I liked it, it needed a bit more. So I duplicated both my Rhodes and vocal sample, and pitched them both down. Now I had the opportunity to create some melody with my different pitches. This lead to a much more lush sounding
One of the many styles of music at the market was a four-man drum band. This band played very rhythm based music and had an almost improvisational feel to their music. They would start a song and then let the music guide them from melody to melody. The drummers also played their own individual melody which resulted in a polyphonic piece and a perfect example of surface rhythm. Each performer’s own melody, although different individually, combined to form one melody and rhythm that permeated throughout the performance. The music, which was primarily in quadruple meter and ranged in tempo from andante to allegro, was also very happy and consonant sounding with no feelings of instability. This consonance was due the music being percussion music with no

Today is the second session that I had counselor with this particle client. He came in to see me for the same problem that he had before. But except this time client had be doing a little than before. Before I started with the interview I had use the five stages and dimension of the interviews a client. I want to have an empathic relationship with my client, and gathering story and find the strength of my client is part of getting to know my client. This time I had set a realistic goal that my client can work toward without feeling that he is not in control of making the decision. The next is stage restoring finding what is not working now and trying to find an alternative that will work then take the action of letting the client go or
What are you still unhappy with? What would you have wanted to continue to work on?
The intention of this written essay is to demonstrate an understanding of my views on reflection and the issues surrounding reflective practice. It is based on nursing skills that I used during my practice placement, most importantly reflecting on the professional value of privacy and dignity.
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
I felt that doing my Senior Project on reality shows was too boring. Half way through the project I realized that my topic did not seem to interest me very much. Also, I had a very hard time coming up with a good idea for a product that would be connected to reality shows. But with the help of Mr. Daly we finally came up with an idea for an event. However, the event was not very successful. Only one person came to the event so I wasn’t able to obtain much data. As a result I had to change my product. It was very frustrating when I had to come up with a whole new product, but with the help of Mrs. DonVito, Ms. Doyle, and Mr. Daly I successfully completed my new product. So, if I had the chance, I would have created a different and better product at the beginning of my project and put more effort into planning it and making it successful. There are many things I wish I could have done differently but these were the biggest differences that would have resulted in a better Senior Project.
I improved on the things that I did not do well on last project, but didn't stress other things that I should have for this project. This project I
The one thing that I wish I could have done was sit in on some of the more serious counseling that happened between my supervisor and some students. I was not allowed to observe/participate in these sessions due to Indiana law. However, if I was in a graduate program I would be allowed to sit in these situations and possible learn new techniques, methods, and ideas on how to handle these situations. I was allowed to sit on some cases that were not super serious, but that was only if I had permission form the parent, student, and my supervisor. My only other concern was that earlier on me and my supervisor had a hard time communicating to each other, but we resolved the issue quickly and have been in constant contact ever since.
Throughout this program, I have gained content knowledge and skills in the area of reading and literacy. I have also expanded my teaching practices, experiences, and expertise in order to meet the needs of culturally, linguistically, and academically diverse learners in my classroom. I have obtained a lot of knowledge and skills throughout this program. First, I have gained strength in creating literacy instruction and assessments that meet the needs of culturally, linguistically and academically diverse learners. Second, I have gained knowledge and experience of the challenges and opportunities of implementing the Common Core State Standards. Third, I have learned and implemented a variety of research-based instructional strategies to
These next ten hours were filled with both positive and negative components. While I have always known that I want kids, it was these positives and negatives that reminded me why. Throughout these ten hours, there were tears and screaming but also smiles and giggles. The positives are what stick in my mind. Through all of that, I realized how excited I am to have children (not any time soon but eventually). Working with and being with kids is such a fulfilling job. I honestly could not see myself doing anything else. I think the best part is seeing the smile on their faces when I tell them how proud I am of them or what a good job they are doing. I love that just a little praise and support can go so far. I feel as though the more I encourage Alex and Emily the more confident they become. I look back to when Emily was scared to go in to deep water of the pool and I am amazed at how far she has come in such a short period of time. In less than
I have learned several valuable things from this project experience. First, it’s okay to not know how to do something right away. Ask, observe and experiment. Doing so will greatly enhance my ability to do it correctly and continue to learn. Second, I learned that this can be an experience in frustration if I always try to not make waves. Sometimes waves need to be made to better the project. And third, watch for similar frustrations with my students and intervene before it gets too serious.
In history, we study change. We look at people, places, and events and see how that is different from today. In modern America, we have seen tremendous change from 1865 to the present. Whether it is on a computer, or if it was printed with any inkjet printer, the way that you are reading this syllabus has even changed over the last 150 years. This also means that we will cover a lot of information in a very short time. That means that there is a chance of simplifying history. Every person we read about is more complex than a textbook will ever be able to show.
On October 25, 2015, St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Needville, Texas had their annual church bazaar. I have been a member of St. Michael’s Catholic Church for over sixteen years and have volunteered at the bazaar since I was in junior high school . This year, I decided to help out with the raffle tickets table for my four hours of volunteer service. While there, I helped collect money, collect tickets, crumble tickets, and fill out tickets for anyone that purchased tickets. For the first two hours, people were swarming the table trying to turn in tickets and buy more. As people would buy more tickets, they would fill out the first ticket of the pack and I helped them fill out the rest. I then would crumble up the tickets and get them ready to go into the barrel for the big raffle drawing.
...rks. In a word, the MA experience was considered to be a bridge that combines the student learning with working skills, it would be of great help for my future career.
