Week Four - Back On Track3/17/2024 After last week’s goals, I think I did a good job accomplishing them for the most part. While I didn’t work on the project four days out of the week, I did for three, and I got what I wanted to do. I worked on the parts some more and even started on the transition into the next section. The first section is done, at least for now, and I like how it sounds. It incorporates six different parts and is ten measures long. It isn’t much, but it also is somewhat slow and slows down more at the very end of it. The second section is a little more upbeat and changes the key. I’m excited to see where this next section goes and how it turns out sounding. I added some tenor saxophone solos/licks in there that I think sound super cool. I’m still learning how to write within the key and when it sounds good to go outside of it, as well as putting the different parts together to sound good. So far, I think that I’ve come up with a pretty cool-sounding piece of music. However, after working on it as much as I have this week, I feel like the 100-measure goal I set for myself may be a bit much, after working on it for the last four weeks, I’ve only gotten 20 measures done and sounding good between all the parts. I’m going to lower the goal to 70 measures and do my absolute best to keep it there. I still think I can incorporate all the parts I want to into it, but 100 measures isn’t something I think I could accomplish. Overall, for the first third of this project, it has been super fun, and I'm glad this is what I chose to do with this opportunity.
