Twinkle Twinkle

For this Audio Assignment, worth 1.5 stars, we were asked to play the first song we learned of musical medium. The first song I learned on the piano, which I played for almost 10 years, was “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”. This was also a song that my parents used to sing to me when I was headed to sleep, so it was a song of meaning when I began playing the piano. I always enjoyed playing piano, but more-so enjoyed things with meaning to me. It is such a simple song, but yet, when I hear it, or play it, ...
Bankrupt On Selling

This assignment fulfills 1 and a half points of the required ten for the week of 2/16 to 2/22. This prompt, entitled ‘Make Music DAMNIT’, was a bit confusing, but I think it said to record a song in a way that reminds me of what it was like to first learn how to play it. Thus, I recorded myself on the guitar playing two verses of the song ‘Bankrupt on Selling’ by Modest Mouse. This is one of the first songs I ever taught myself to play. Since I haven’t played for a while, the recording sounds a bit ...

Though I knew this 1-and-a-half star assignment was small in star amount, I knew it would be big in meaning. If you don’t already know this from some of my previous posts, music is and has always been a really big part of my storytelling process and so I knew I had to do this one to continue to tell the story of Cat’s and that of myself. I picked up my love for music from my father, with whom I used to dance around the living room to Jimmy Buffet’s Fruitcakes album and from whom I would pilfer his Beach ...

This one is Make Music DAMNIT: Play the first song you have ever learned through any type of musical medium. Do it in a way that conjures up your memory of learning ...
The D Chord Song

I changed up the Make Music DAMNIT assignment a little, and instead of talking about the first song I ever learned to play (that was probably something random from a kid’s music book on the piano), here I talk a little bit about the first song I ever made up on the guitar. OH HEY LOOK A WRITEUP: This assignment was super low-tech. “Haley Unplugged.” Kinda. I just sat down in front of my digital recorder with my guitar, switched it on and started talking about my Mom and how she inspired me to learn guitar. I’d thought about what ...
The first song I learned
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
The first song I learned was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in elementary school. I was really obsessed with Indian songs. So when I was asked to learn this song in school, I tried to sing it like Indian songs. I downloaded the English version and Indian version from YouTube; here is the link respectfully http://www.youtube.com/user/hooplakidz?v=xKFRSIBP8pA Then I emerged both songs to audacity and edited in the way I learned the song while I was at the elementary school.
