1) Today we began class by experiencing our first classroom critique. We spent a good amount of time reviewing Matt's Environmental Sound piece. We gave him feedback on how his sounds were very repetitive. We learned the tape rule; where the artist must remain silent during their critique or their mouths will be taped shut! Critiques are very helpful to receive encouraging feedback to improve your pieces. In addition, they teach everyone how to take criticism in a positive rather than negative manner.
2) Next we explored the differences between pitch, tone, rhythm, and timber. I learned that pitch is a high note unexpectedly interrupting another group of sounds. Tone is the repetition of one sound playing in a series of others. Rhythm is repetition in a series of sound and timber is a sound that explains what materials are being used. We used handcrafted instruments to make our own sounds to explain the different vocabulary.
3) I learned what three parts make up music; harmony, melody, and beat. With all three components music is created, which is not allowed in our class. However, if you take one component away, the music turns into abstract sounds, which we are able to produce within our projects.
