Music Project

GE1105
How to design
your project?
 Instrumental Music
• Solo music (one instrument
with accompaniment or
Step One without accompaniment)
• Ensemble music (more than
one instrument)

Which one will be easier?

Solo Music!!!
 Can we choose one instrument and
then select 3 pieces of music for
this instrument?

Step Two or

Can we choose 3 instruments and

then select a piece of music for
each instrument?
Both are OK!!!
 About the music

Step Three
if we find a piece of zheng
music like “Ambushed from
all Sides” that is originally
for Pipa solo, can we use it?
 If that music is originally for
Pipa, WHY don’t choose Pipa for
your project?
 About the theme

Step Four
Plants, Animals,
Festivals, War and
Gender…
 Do a simple analysis like the form of
music (how many parts/sections?)
and how do you know this form?
(by scholars’ analysis or by your
own?)
Step Five
You can include some extra-musical
issues like the background of this
music or story of this music.
 • Back to your theme and try to
Step Six write your story…
 I will choose a musical instrument like dizi,
pipa, zheng, erhu. (most common)

Then try to search with keywords like “笛子獨

My advice 奏曲”. If you cannot read or type Chinese, just

ask your group mates or classmates for help.

For someone who wants to select percussion

instruments for your project, you need to
know that percussion music usually is in
ensemble form.
