More Practice

Since Ruby didn’t bring her cello bow, we were unable to record a video, but we managed to get some practice done. Other than that, nothing new today. We did find out about some 16th notes in the 3rd and 4th pages, might be interesting.

Plan B

Farewell, Rachel. We lost a violin. On the bright side, however, Rachel was the only one in our group to have experience playing with other instruments. Now we plan on simply playing a duet together instead of writing a whole new piece. I had made progress on the piece, but with this change of plans, we might as well scrap that.

My Plan

It’s time to begin! I’ve decided to write 3 songs together with my partners. The first will be in Rondo form, a simpler form to get into the gist of things, likely in C Major or D Major. The next will be in Sonata form, still only one movement but in G Major. Finally we’ll have one in F Major with 3 movements. We will hopefully perform all of them together and showcase them on our blogs. Now, time to have some fun!

About the Author

Hello, I’m Gabriel. I am 12 right now, turning 13 soon. I’m in Grade 8 and I live in Edmonton. I absolutely love music; I have a great passion for music. I play piano, trumpet, and trombone, and I love each instrument equally.

My goal for Genius Hour this year is to write a piece for piano, violin and cello with the help of Rachel and Ruby. I have some background on melody writing, but I have not written any music myself yet. I look forward to learning new things and having fun!
