8/23/24 - Wade in the Water learning journal

I notice that there is a strong base line
I think we may clap to recreate the clapping sound in the song
Rhythm swings a lot
Large unexpected glissando

I really liked the piece and how they improvised their solos. I think I'll have a lot of fun with the nail glisses. I may have trouble with the vamp.

Harp 8/8/24 - Sonata en Re

I think the piece will be a slow dancing song.

The piece is not slow at all, with a lot of quick notes. There are a lot of crescendos and decrescendos. I can hear the separation between the bass and the melody of this song. It switches from piano to forte a lot throughout the piece. I also heard a ritardando towards the end.

Harp 7/31/24 - Spanish Dance no.1

I think our Spanish dance piece will have short, fast notes. The key will likely be minor, like many other Spanish songs.

After hearing the song, I realize I was right about the song being very fast. There a lot of loud, emphasized notes and crescendos as well as decrescendos. There are a lot of very high notes.
