Proposal
2/10/14- Monday
Today I began researching and putting together a proposal for a senior project. This project will be for the remainder of the quarter.
2/11/14- Tuesday
Today I finalized my proposal and turned it in. My proposal was on, GarageBand. I want to learn more about how to make songs properly. I will use a lynda playlist to learn, and do my own projects at the end of each week using the skills I learned.
2/12/14- Wednesday
Today I finished my proposal and recieved it back to make a few final adjustments.
2/13/14- Thursday
No school- conferences.
2/14/14- Friday
No school- Valentines Day.
Week 1
2/17/14- Monday
No school- Professional day.
2/18/14- Tuesday
Today I recieved my proposal back with finalized due dates, exct. and it was approved. Today I began the video tutorial I have decided to use. I also opened one of my various songs I have created by messing around in Garageband, and timed it to see how long it was. I'm supposed to have a minimum 2:00 minute long song by Friday. For this week only it is anyway that I wish. Mine times out to 1:57. Just 3 seconds shy. I finished the Introductory video section as well as Chapter 1. I also downloaded the exercise files and set up my new folder for this project on the server. As I was further ahead of where I intended to be, I decided to work on a song from scratch.
2/19/14- Wednesday
Today I finished the Video Tutorial Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. I am working ahead of my due dates because I learned I will be out of class next Wednesday and have one less day to work on everything than I thought I would. I also continued adding to one of my song creations. This one is using nothing but piano. Next weeks will be using a different one and more instruments. I plan to try to finish chapter 4 on Friday to help make up for the class I'm missing Wednesday.
2/20/14- Thursday
Department Projects.
2/21/14- Friday
Today I finished my first song and it times out to: 3:34. I also finished Chapter 4 in the tutorial and made my first Weekly Blog entry. I'm working ahead by doing Chapter 4 because I know I will be gone next Wednesday and that alters my ability to meet due dates, thus I'm trying to compensate for that.
Week 2
2/24/14- Monday
Today I finished Chapter 5 in the tutorial. I also started a new song from scratch for this week. Tomorrow I hope to finish Chapter 6 and most of this weeks song assignment to help compensate for me being gone on Wednesday.
2/25/14- Tuesday
Today I started on Chapter 6 in theVideo Tutorial and continued working on my new song. I missed part of class for a meeting in Quest, but I still managed to get stuff done.
2/26/14- Wednesday
Missing class because of 8th grade orientation day.
2/27/14- Thursday
Today I Finished Chapter 6 in the Video Tutorial and turned in my week 2 song. It timed out to 2:17.
Normally I would do this on Friday but the departmental project was moved to Friday this week.
I wish I had more time to perfect this song but I need to push forward. I also started Chapter 7.
2/28/14- Friday
Department Projects.
Week 3
3/3/14- Monday
Snow Day
3/4/14- Tuesday
Today I finished Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 in the Video Tutorial. Tomorrow I will start on Chapter 9. It is the longest Chapter by far and I need to get going on it. The Snow day yesterday set me back a little. The only nice thing being that we won't be having department projects this week so that gives me a day back. But I will be gone on Friday to the Pitt State Jazz Competition. I feel like I'm ahead but only just barely.
3/5/14- Wednesday
Today I began Chapter 9 in the Video Tutorial. I did not finish it. However because I am ahead I took some time to send a few e-mails to teachers about being gone this Friday. I also took some time to look up some courses for my pre-enrollment for next year and to look at a scholarship or two. Tomorrow I will probably do much the same thing, work ahead a little further but take some time to do a few other things.
3/6/14- Thursday
Today I continued Chapter 9 in the Video Tutorial. I did not finish it on purpose. I want to be ahead next week, but only just barely. I went ahead and made my weekly blog post about my senior project today because I will be gone all day tomorrow for a Jazz competition.
3/7/14- Friday
Gone for Jazz Competition
Week 4
3/10/14- Monday
Today I finished Chapter 9 in the Video Tutorial. I also began my new song for this week, but only just barely. This is the final week of my Senior Project.
3/11/14- Tuesday
Today I finished Chapter 10 in the Video Tutorial. I also continued work on the song I have due later this week. In addition to this I took a few minutes to send two quick e-mails and to finish a scholarship. Things are going well for me.
3/12/14- Wednesday
Today I finished the first half of Chapter 11 in the Video Tutorial. I also started making final rhythms and figuring out what type of song I will make for my last one this week.
3/13/14- Thursday
Today I went ahead and finished the rest of Chapter 11 and the Conclusion in the Video Tutorial. I also continued work on my song for this week. I re-adujsted the different parts I have in my song to make transitions a lot more effective and to make more sense. I still need to add length, but this will save me time later. I will finish my song tomorrow.
3/14/14- Friday
Today I finished my last song and turned it in. My Senior Project has come to an end. It was fun though! Have a great Spring Break!
