During this month of May I have been attending the class Keyboard Orchestra directed by Dr. Fletcher and Dr. Lansang. During this course we learn the basics music and playing the keyboard. We use GarageBand to play the sounds of any instrument on the keyboard and act as an orchestra playing different instruments for different pieces of music. For me this class was fun, exciting, and informative because I had fun while learning different and deeper details about music. Mostly through the book the we read call How Music Works by john Powell. It mainly talks about the science and psychology of music explaining how music was made and how it is perceived to the human brain. Although I enjoyed this class it was not easy either. It has its challenging moments through the learning process but it was all worth it.
The challenging part of Keryboard Orchestra for me was learning how to read the bass clef. To this day I'm still having a bit of trouble with reading it but I did improve from the beginning. Reading the treble clef is a lot easier for me because I am used to reading it when I play the clarinet. One of my favorite parts in this class is using GarageBand. Creating music while actually knowing what note you are playing feels pretty great for me. All in all this course was great and I do wish to continue playing music.
