Loops Songs
April Newsletter
We had some amazing music produced this past month! The students are beginning to create longer projects and complete songs. We focused on form within music. Students selected several melodic loops as ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ sections of their music and produced an entire song. The results were fantastic! You will find 6 student samples of amazing projects. Congratulations to all students for their wonderful work!
We have also been getting further into coding using Ear Sketch. Students created their first major project in which they coded their own drum beat with alternating rhythms between odd and even measures to create variation. These drum beats were supplemented with melodic and bass loops. I have attached several examples of exemplary student work as code and an mp3.
Please consider following our Soundcloud page. We currently have 105 tracks that were created by Coleman students dating back to 2020, and we are adding more each month. The purpose of this page is to get the music out of the classroom and into the world. Students work hard on their projects and deserve to be heard. We have had over 3,000 listens since the start of the page and we would really appreciate your help in sharing the music from CMS Music Technology!
