Facilitator (your name): Stewart McLean Date: 14/03/16 Times of Session: 16:00-18:00 Session no: 5 Project Supervisor/Gatekeeper: Lesley Crawford Your main objective for this session: Participants will listen to a wide range of digital based music Participants will be given the opportunity create a lead melody on the synthesiser over a looped bass line we created in our previous lesson. Planned Activities for this session:
Participants will listen to a wide variety of digital music from
different genres, including: trance, drum n bass, and trip hop. Participants will be able to openly discuss what they liked/disliked about various sounds within the demonstrated music. Participants will work with Lesley and I, creating melody lines over the synthesiser bass loops. Participants will get a chance to collaborate and present the melodies they created.
How did it go reflecting on this?
This session went fairly well, including a mixture of social interaction, participation and practical creativity. I felt it beneficial to spend a bit of time listening to various styles of digital based music at the beginning of the lesson. The activity enabled a good level of group collaboration among participants, and a fantastic level of enthusiasm and inspiration when listening to such pieces. We also felt it necessary to extend the workshop to two hours per session, which enabled the workshop to feel less rushed and gave
participants more time to experiment with various sounds. I do feel
there could have been a bit more group collaboration within the melody creation section of the workshop, however this will become a greater feature when we start bringing all the created loop pieces together.
The level of engagement and/or achievement by participants:
There was a good level of engagement among participants within this session. Participants were able to freely discuss what they liked/disliked about the song examples played at the beginning of the lessons, which helped them bond with each other, as many of them discovered their similar interest in music. At the end participants were able to talk about how they created their melody by presenting it to the rest of the class.
Feedback/observations and any pointers to enhance or improve the
next session: Although the session was a success, I'd like to involve more group activities during the creation process of the melodies. It is difficult to do this, due to the synthesisers being plugged in with headphones, however if we had a break during the middle of this activity just to collaborate more as a group, or even if we included an improvisation section where each participant got a few minutes to freely play over a looped track in turns.
