In music class we have been working with a partner to compose and perform the music that we composed.
When I was listening to "The Mysterious Secret" [one of the songs] I really felt like the title fit the song. Which is why I really enjoyed the song. When the person who was playing the metallophone had all these high and low pitches, it felt like you were in a room where there was a mystery case, and you were a detective. Then suddenly you turned around and saw a vampire. Then your heart would automatically beat rapidly. So, I think that when the person who was playing the metallophone would start playing high notes, it was like what I just said. Also when the person who was playing the metallophone would stop, the other person would gently hit a metal stick against a metal triangle, and I imagined myself in a long hallway, where there were doors on both sides of the hall. And each time I heard the person hit the triangle, I would imagine myself hearing a door creak open behind me, and when I looked back it would be closed, so it was like a big mystery.
"The Mysterious Secret" song was really amazing. I only have one suggestion to them though. Eye contact. I would say that their eye contact to the audience wasn't that great. But, I think that it's hard to face your audience directly. I have serious trouble with my eye contact to the audience. It's so hard to be trying to focus on what you're playing or presenting, that you get the butterflies [or at least I do]. And even if I tried to face the class, I would see all these eyes staring back at me so, it just made me more nervous. But, I think that "The Mysterious Secret" partnership did a great job overall, and they seemed really calm actually, so the only thing I have to suggest to them is to face your audience.
As I was listening to "The Mysterious Secret" group play, I could feel a chill go down my spine. As I had said in my first paragraph, I was imagining myself somewhere. This time i imagined myself in a castle, no not a pretty princess castle, more like Dracula's Castle. I imagined it was a stormy night, and all the torches were blown off by the heavy winds, except for a little oil lamp in my hand. Whenever there were high pitches in the song I would imagine a thunder bolt cracking in the sky, shaking the ground a bit. Then when the triangle would play I imagined I was hearing whispers. When the song was over I had goosebumps on my arms [partly because I was cold, but still].
I don't think that "The Mysterious Secret" changed me at all. Although that night instead of sleeping well, I was starting to freak out. I just imagined myself back in Dracula's Castle, and I had the creeps. So, I guess you could say the song slightly changed how I was sleeping. And instead of sleeping in the middle of my bed, instead I was shivering in the corner with all my blankets and pillows surrounding me. So, I guess the song did change me a bit.
