Introduction to Music - 8th Of September 2010.

MUSIC today was very confusing :S... I never understood what to do at first, I was getting quite confused and felt tensed throughout the first 20 minutes of the lesson, but then Ms.Hasler kindly explained to me what sort of music we are going to produce for the Winter Road Show and what expectations she is expecting from me this term. She also helpfully explained how this term we are going to be working on STEEL PAN DRUMS, but before playing the notes on the Steel Pan, I will have to RESEARCH about it first.

 It took me quite some time to understand it, but in the end I got on with the work and started to create my Presentation about Steel Pans and where they came from. I included useful pictures and included questions such as "Where was the Steel Pan originated from?", "When was the first Steel Pan created?" and "How it came to Britain today?" - KEYPOINT - I Learnt a lot today e.g Did you know that a Steel Pan was originated from Trindad and Tobago ?! BET YAH DIDN'T KNOW THAT : ]

These websites were very useful to help me figure out exactly what I was looking for:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelpan
http://www.toucans.net/pan_history.html
http://cnx.org/content/m12397/latest/



and some others I used from the shared documents area..

Anyways, overall I thought this lesson was ok. I did NOT finish the presentation today. I plan to finish it off some time next week !




C'YA LATER GUYSSSS ; )
