In our classroom we were making music with our instruments and the flutes we made. First we practiced making sounds and wrote it down. That is called 'composing' music. We had small groups of students together and we worked in the classroom, in the library, in the hall and used a computer in Mr. Cueto's room. When we were ready, we recorded our songs on the Mac. computers in a program called 'Garage Band'. Mr. Adkins helped us record on his laptop and showed us funky ways to add sounds and effects. Some of us added loops which added other instruments and beats.
When we were finished recording and editing, Mr. Adkins burned us a disc of our songs. We took them into the dance room and brought our music connection journals and a pencil and we listened to the different tracks. When we listened we wrote down three different words about the music we heard. Then we role played a scence from track 8.
