As a group, we need to produce a 5-8 minutes musical performance according to the theme given by the lecturer. Each student will have their own instruments to play. Each group has to create a musical performance using only voices and musical instruments created by daily items. Our group choose to create a drum set, 2 tambourine (bells and beans), castanets, 2 xylophones (wood and metal) and 3 shakers (2 specially designed bra like shakers) and shakers filled with rice.

REFLECTION
For this project, our task was to create an individual musical instrument report and create a musical performance involving a daily life object. I have done some research and experienced many ways to transform a simple daily object into a musical instrument.
During the process of practicing, certain notes need to be figured by ourselves to ensure that the rhythms are matched with the song and the beats of the musical instruments. All of us really enjoyed during performance day. Even though we are not the best group but we really had a good time practicing together and knowing each other well. Through this project, i learnt how to communicate effectively with new course mates during discussions especially when we exchanged ideas and listen to each other's opinion. After completing this project, i feel that i can improve in my creativity skills and think out of the box to get more innovative ideas. |
