Monday
On Monday, we had a zoom meeting with Peter Chan, founder of Auralia, the software for aural tests. It was really cool that he gave us free access and went through the basics with us. So basically you could come up with questions there and it makes marking homework wayy easier. One of my favourite features is the presets for different tests like Jazz and Trinity. I always found it a bit hard to practice aural for my piano exams growing up. Now I’m glad students don’t have to only rely ont their teachers for that!
Wednesday-Phew Easter
Wednesday was a good class and I feel like a learnt A LOT from it. We did some revision on the biology and physics of sound. The best part of the whole class, in my opinion, was when we learnt adjust the attack, decay, sustain and release on Ableton. It’s neccessary in production because we want to imitate real instruments as much as we can. I’ll definitely experiment more in my own time.
Rowena Stewart from Sonic Pi joined our meeting for the last 30 minutes (?) and we had a play with the programming software. Some people say music is just maths so hopefully it’ll be a fun activity for students who have the “math brains”!
Kidz! Music! 
He’s Peter *Lee* for what it’s worth. 🙂
