Third Week3/10/2024 This week, I unfortunately didn't get to work on my Genius Hour project at all. I had more than plenty of homework every night, and on top of that, had a hockey tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday, and a band concert on Thursday. Of course, I enjoyed all of those things throughout the week, however, it made even just getting the homework I had done, not to mention this project and a devotional I’m working on for my bible study group. Now, not getting much work done on my project this week was an unfortunate setback, but for this next week, I’m setting a goal to work on it at least 4 out of the 5 nights out of the week. Tomorrow (Monday), there isn’t any school either, so I should get some work done on it tomorrow. I’m hoping to establish a main melody for the song this week and implement it along with the chords that I’ve already written. This won’t be easy, because I first have to find a melody that sounds good, and then figure out what parts will play it when, how it goes along with the rest of the music, and how to make it interesting. You can’t just write chords and a melody and slap them on top of each other. You have to weave them into each other in a way that wounds good and how the mood of the song lets it sound. That means I’ll have to add more than just the simple melody because a piece of music isn’t just the melody over and over again. Think about your favorite song, it isn’t just the same main line or two over and over is it? The artist adds other lines and ideas to it to make it interesting. That’s when it becomes more than a melody and a chord progression. That’s when it becomes music. I think I can do it within this week, at least to an extent, and I’m exited to see what I come up with.
