|  | Final Project Write a song with some sort of verse/refrain, or ABA form, and with meaningful words. Be prepared to sing it,or have someone else sing it, and possibly play in the recording, if you can. The song should consist of several verses, probably. Don't make it too long, or too short. (You'll know when it's complete.) Write an accompaniment which uses two or more instruments, if possible. It will be most convenient if you use the instruments in your precept, but if you have friends or 104 classmates you can enlist, or want Newton, Michael, Sean and me to play (keyboards, guitars, bass guitar, computer, drums) let us know. The recording session will be equipped with amplification, and we can probably accomodate anything you can bring, but you must let us know in advance. A first draft of your song, is due in the final week (may 1) in precept,and we will have the final marathon readings on Friday May 12th and Monday May 15th, from 9 to 6 in McAlpin rehearsal room. We'll record each of your songs on CD. If you are rounding up your own performers it would be great if you could rehearse on your own ahead of time. We'll only have 15 minutes per song so we can't afford to waste time in too much rehearsal. If you're recording your song ahead of time, PLEASE let us know, so that we won't schedule a time slot for you. The schedule will be posted here (on the Schedule page). Everyone is invited to listen in on any of the sessions. Be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before your alloted time The score of the final project is due on the 15th: NO LATER! All of us will be available between then and now. Feel free to set up appointments by email. Have fun with it. ================================================================== |
