So this term, we went through the 'Design Cycle' process.
Firstly, we went through the investigation process - where we broke down the song topics and choosing what kinds of music (genre, period of time) and what kind of instruments are we going to be using to perform them.
We made this decision by voting fairly so that each student will put their preference. We picked our most voted songs and investigate it - what musical instruments are we going to be using, who are able to play it, how long will it take it, and so on. If we think that we cannot fulfill the whole idea, we will have to change it into an easier one.
Secondly, we went through the planning process - where we decide on the date of performance, the layout of performance, and videos or music notes that we may need.
We used both videos and music notes in order to learn the piece, since some of us are not able to read music notes very well and tend to listen by ear.
Thirdly, we went through the creating process - we learned the music pieces bit by bit.
We decided who are going to play in each song and those people will be finding the music notes and lyrics to practice on. Each song has a person in charge, who is in charge of pretty much everything; the musicians (to keep them on track), and the song(put in advices).
Lastly, we evaluate our project. This will be done after the actual performance on the 4th of December - we reflect on our performance, what to improve on and we respond to other people's feedbacks.
