Samba reflection

During this project I learnt how to compose and

write music, I also learnt how to use music
software on the computers. I firstly had to learn
the notes and how to write them, it was quite
difficult at first but I then caught the hang of it
after we learnt their relation to maths, it was also
strange with the sections of where and how you
write the notes but then it became
understandable.
I did a group performance of Neddy’s piece
Nandos love and greatly enjoyed it, and also made
my own piece called the sound of samba, I had to
come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful
rhythms to fit the instruments we were using
(surdo, agogo bell, shaker and scraper).
I learnt that when composing a piece of music you
needed to already have a variety of rhythms and
also have a rough idea of how you are going to do
it. When writing a song you need to have the
music to correlate with the lyrics (work together).
