Day 11

As you noticed, I have not wrote Day 10 Journal!! Now don't get ahead of your self, I was just busy practicing for the "Practical Music Exam". Since it's over I can fully focus on my recording, exception of my Business and my English project. Today I finished adding detail to my CD, which looks fabulous and I'm going to go to school earlier and load my music file on to the school file with my USB memory stick. Again I forgot the rhythm starting bar 27 ~ 40, so during lunch time I got a huge help from Mr.Stevenson. Today after school I focused on bar 16 ~ 18 and making sure I don't speed up in the middle such as bar 6.

Day 9

HAHA, luck is on my side! Mr.Stevenson has once again saved my life, for the last time. He has pushed the due date to "Jan 19, Monday" which is a really good thing for me. This changed my plan for the weekend, because I have till Monday which is like in 4 days. So till Friday I am hoping to add some more effects to my CD, and at the most latest finish my recording by Sunday Afternoon. So I have Sunday evening to relax and get ready for Monday! Today I haven't been much efficient like last week due to the Practical Exam on Thursday. I have only been playing around on the Audicity about 20min. I hope I get a lot of time after the Practical Exam but I have a feeling I'm going to have many assignments to hand in .

Day 8

Wow!! Pressure is building up because the due that for this project is the day after tomorrow. I have started recording(or just playing around) with Audicity. I tried many ideas of mine such as slowing the tempo down or play several times and cut and paste. But none of them are perfect, because the song is a little(or more) fast I do need to slow down the piano. But I haven't found an efficient way to do it, so I guess I only practiced the whole piece again just like yesterday and try out different stuff which at the end of a total waste of time. Tomorrow is going to be 100% about the music assignment due to the fact I have a English project due tomorrow. I will stop here and hope for the best tomorrow.

Day 7

We got a lot time today in our music class, about 20 minutes? And I hope I could do more practice but due to "Heavy" amount of homeworks, and assignments I could only practice 10 min. So it was just a simple(just like Sunday) practice the whole piece a few times. But I had a little time while I was going somewhere so I decided to make CD cover and a bio of myself. It took me time to do "Front Cover", "Bio", "on CD cover", "Back cover" and the "Inside cover". I wanted my CD look like or feel classical, and I did have some problem printing them out. Due to the fact that the backgrounds black, my printer was good but my paper wasn't so good. So I had to go to Staples for their custom paper and pick it up 3 hours later. It was totally worth it at the end it looks so nice. So Mr.Stevenson remember to look at the CD very carefully. Every side should have something on.
