So today we (the music class, that is) gathered up once again after looking at all those topics we came up with. As we put it to a vote which topics were the best out of all the ones we've dreamed up, The final six choices that the class decided was... (note: the list is not in order of popularity)
1. Medley
2. Traditional VS Modern music
3. A tribute to the great deceased music artists before us
4. "Back to the Future", (but this time about music instead of time-traveling people you see in the movie)
5. One hit wonders
6. Legends in musical history (the difference that separates it from the "tribute" idea is that these legends can be dead OR alive)
Later, the class was divided into groups for each of these six topics, each group tasked with one of the six most voted topics that the class decided. The tasks and the people who were working on it are as follows: (I've added a few "editorials" to give a bit more "insight" to the post, but you can skip them if you want)
The Medley is analyzed by Keizar, Dom and George. (the class decided that this group should've had a girl in it to "balance things out", but I guess that idea was scrapped... probably until further notice. Not ALL the members of the class have decided what they wanted to research)
NOTICE: If you're reading this strictly just to know who's paired up with who in researching about the topic for the music performance, Read only the first sentence of the first following paragraph. If you wish to hear my side of the story, feel free to read every word after that until the end of the next paragraph. My "story" starts now.
Traditional VS Modern music is researched by Dandy, Rifa, Rasyid and yours truly. (When I decided to join this group, (and believe me, it was a pretty tough decision) I heard some commotion in the class (or so I thought) including some (potentially heard) moans of disagreement. I guess that I've made quite the impression (good or bad, I don't know) on SOME members of the class. Guys, correct me if I'm wrong) I thought that it was a pretty good idea (it was a difficult choice compared to the others, but I guess in the end the reasons were balanced out for me) to join said group.
My "story" ends here.
The (main) reason I joined the group was that I'd like to see the impact of traditional compared to modern music and how the two are similar/extremely different to each other, and I guessed it was going to be pretty exciting. My teammates (once again, correct me if I'm wrong) however, seemed to think otherwise. I do hope we get off on the same foot though, because the work will be a lot harder to do without the full group's cooperation. Anyway, enough jabbering about myself, let's just move on to the next topic...
"Back to the Future" (music edition) are investigated by Johan, Rachael and Belinda.
One Hit Wonders is delved into more by Michael, Alysa and Fahrani. (there was a brief argument by the class about the group and the members that were to be in it, but I think that the details of the issue would be better off kept to us members of the class)
And last but not least, Legends in Music are examined by Farah, Amyra, Najwa and Hana. (after the suggestion about putting a girl in the "medley" group, (see above) some members of the class in turn suggested to put a guy in this group to "balance the genders" that were in the group, but I guess that was scrapped as well... probably until further notice, like the "medley" group)
So that was my interpretation of the groups and the things they were tasked with. Hopefully this will be useful not just for the teacher, (who, once again, assigned the thing in the first place) but for the public to read. So therefore, thank you for reading and see you in the next post. Goodbye.

Ideas for a Final Performance
Hey people, and welcome back to my blog. Before we start, I want to pass an "introductory greeting" for my teacher. (who may not want to be provoked after a small "incident" with a previous piece of work) This homework was made just this morning due to some "unavoidable complications". First of all, when I logged into my blog last night I didn't get to find any posts about the "Design Cycle Ideas", so being the guy who doesn't typically rely on notebooks to write down in advance on my blog, I instead relied on others' blogs to write mine. (That's how I typed the "statistics of the students" down. Thanks for the post, Rasyid) I didn't see their blog updated until this morning, so you can tell I went into some kind of "panic mode".
So here's the post, despite its simple appearance and lack of humor or whatever. I didn't have enough time to write this, sorry. All I can do is write down the stuff the class wrote in record speed. I've got no other choice now. Here's what the class thought of...
So here's the post, despite its simple appearance and lack of humor or whatever. I didn't have enough time to write this, sorry. All I can do is write down the stuff the class wrote in record speed. I've got no other choice now. Here's what the class thought of...
- Big band
- Beat box
- Choir
- Body Percussion
- Rap Battle
- Medley
- Drama Crossover
- Slow music to upbeat music
- Sister Act
- Street themed musical
- Cultural Medley Music/Dance
- Musical Story
- Acapella
- Kolintang Orchestra
- Instrument Choir
- Modern vs. Traditional music
- Cultural Medley Music/Dance
- Marching band
- Disney songs
- A short film (with us performing the music in the background)
- Musical
- A "magic carpet ride" (think Aladdin)
- Musical cartoons (you know, cartoons with our music playing in the background)
- A tribute to the great (now deceased) singers such as MJ, Elvis, etc.
- Short film (once again, assisted by some music in the background by us music-players)
- A small "presentation" (assisted by our music, apparently) about legends in music.
- One hit wonders
- A "horror musical"
- "Back to the Future" musical adaptation (but this time we go into the 19th century, when music was all the rage)
- "Breaking the fourth wall"
5. Rap battles are an awesome option for me, especially with the added fact that these battles can be music-related, (e.g. old music VS new music) which will be great for the audience rather than your stereotypical choir. Here are a pair of guys who've really convinced me of rap battles being a great thing to watch and probably something we should use for the final performance.
4. Musical Stories are more "my speed". As a guy who likes stories, there's nothing better to pump up the mood of a story than an exhilirating story assisted by an even more mood-setting music score in the background. I suppose you guys know Tom and Jerry? (duh, most of you should, never mind that) Around 75% of what makes up the show is the musical score. Now if we added that to our OWN story. Hmm, wonder how that'd go? All I know is that it's gonna be great...
3. Horror Musicals are basically just like its musical counterpart, only with a different "feel" to it. Instead of the joyful and cheerful sounds of music assisting a nice, peaceful show, we've got a tense show about horror and terror accompanied with an EVEN MORE terrifying and tense music score. The perfect choice if we want to really captivate and enrapture the audience.
2. Slow music suddenly changing into upbeat music; have any of you ever seen those videos (music or otherwise) with a (seemingly) slow and monotonous musical tone? (and before you ask, I'm not talking about those slow songs that maintain their beat throughout the entire song, no) And when you got bored and tired, the music suddenly ERUPTED into a barely audible and ear-deafening blast of music? That's the kind of music that takes the audience by surprise, and therefore a great option to keep the audience interested and astounded.
1. And finally, Breaking the 4th wall. Why just stand there and perform like your common-or-garden performers in those theatres when you can just let the audience join in the fun too? Now (according to my opinion, of course) there are great examples of 4th wall-breaking (Deadpool, who seems to interact with the audience A LOT during his appearances, be it on screen, on comic books or otherwise) and not-so-very good examples. (Dora the Explorer or any other stereotypical childrens' show) At least according to me. If we were able to apply this element to our performance, we could let the audience in on the action, exciting them EVEN MORE and letting them be even more interested in our performance.
Well, that's it then: The ideas for the final performance and my best picks for them. I hope other than fulfilling its purpose as homework, it'll alos give you readers a bit of insight about what I think about these ideas regarding the final performance. So as usual, see you until the next post and goodbye.

The Design Cycle plus extra: My Music Class Schedule
Hey guys, and welcome to my school blog. In this post, we'll be discussing about how the "design cycle" works in certain subjects such as IT, Performing and Visual Arts, and subjects like that. So without further ado, let's just get straight down to it!
The design cycle is broken down into 5 stages: Investigation, Design, Plan, Creation and Evaluation. These must be done in order to ensure that the project that uses this "design cycle" can achieve its maximum effectiveness. Here they are...
Step 1: Investigation
The design cycle is broken down into 5 stages: Investigation, Design, Plan, Creation and Evaluation. These must be done in order to ensure that the project that uses this "design cycle" can achieve its maximum effectiveness. Here they are...
Step 1: Investigation
- First you need to brainstorm ideas, find inspiration for the project. list down the ideas.
- Create a survey in order to find out what the crowd would like the project to be like.
- Decide on the final idea out of all the other ideas you've come up with.
- Add restrictions for the product, then "narrow down" the product down to 8-10 ideas.
- Research from various different sources, and do the research carefully and deeply. This will give you more results and even MORE ideas. Remember to add the bibliography, though.
- Brainstorm MORE ideas.
- Create rough sketches of what the final product will probably look like, with these sketches being realistic designs of the final product. Create 5 sketches. You'll decide which one to choose later on.
- In the end, you will have your final three ideas of what your product will probably be like. Annotate and clarify these ideas to help you decide what your final choice is going to be. A storyboard will also be essential for each idea.
- Remember to stick to the plan when creating the product and use the appropriate materials to make the product.
- Create a "process journal" for keeping track of your activities during the duration of the product's creation. Every time you've completed a phase of the product, add a journal entry regarding your progress on the product. Also remember to explain the process of the product's creation.
- Add a few modifications to the final product, but only if necessary.
- Reflect: Did you or did you not stick to the plan?
- Add some photos/other types of evidence that you actually created the product.
- Reflect on whether the product was a success or a failure. Also remember to measure the closeness of the product to its actual plan back in the beginning of its creation.
- Evaluate and reflect on the process. Could there have been any improvements that could've been made?
Part 2: My Music Schedule
In a school week, there are 5 days. (excluding weekends) In one school week, There are three music lessons, one period for each of these three days. At the end of the 1st term, I will have to change subjects from Music to other subjects, the others being VOCAL music, drama and art. Now the first term ends at the 8th of October, and that means the break is still... (my mind is still processing) You know what? Screw that thought. We're here to discuss about my music schedule. In total, there are going to be around 17 days worth of playing music until the term break comes. So yeah, that's it. (the assignment, I mean)
That'll be all for today... Now I shall head upstairs and get a few hours of sleep after hanging around until 12 p.m. making these assignments. So thanks for reading these posts, and I'll be back tomorrow. Now I've got to head upstairs and... (yawns) retire to my bedroom. See ya until the next post, then!
My Class (Or at least my Music Class)
Hey guys, and welcome back to my blog! In this post, my teacher gave me a new assignment: To write on this blog the general information about the people in my class. This was post was meant to be put on the blog as homework, but since this blog was readable to people out there on the Internet, I thought, "Why not put this into a post that is suitable for everyone on the Internet to look at instead of as a 'special' blog restricted to only people in my class?" So while I'm writing this blog,I might as well tell you OTHER people out there what the people in my class were like.
Yeah, I've known these guys for at least a year now, (at least the ones I'm close friends with) and I know quite a lot about the majority of them. (the rest, well, a little, but not very much) However, I will have to admit, the discussion we had was a very fruitful one. My friends (regardless of whether they were close to me or not) astounded me with quite a $#!+-ton of information that most of us students didn't know already about said student, and sometimes there were facts that amazed the students' closest friends.
Yesterday, (as of today, which is September the 2nd, "yesterday" would be the 1st of September) the class gathered up and shared to the whole class about their talents, (musical or otherwise) what kind of instrument they played, what kind of music they liked, and finally, their notable characteristics as a person. We had a good laugh over sharing these facts about each other. Anyway, here were the results...
Madina enjoys writing poems, and she plays a good guitar. She seems to be fine with any genre of music, and she claims to be a fit and able mediator. (after searching up this word on the dictionary, I found out that this meant that she was what I would call a "peacemaker"; a person who would engage people who are in a conflict and make them come to an agreement)
Tasya likes to dance, (mostly to hip-hop music) enjoys playing the piano, and like Madina, approves of any type of music and claims to be a good mediator.
Rasyid likes to play with words and occasionally sings. (as a close friend of his, I've never actually seen him sing, but I'd like to see him doing so) Like the previous students, he claims to like any genre of music. (I've noted that he likes "slow songs" He notes that he has been a fast learner and a good "teacher". (most likely in the case that his friends need some assistance in their studies)
Domenico (or Dom as we students like to call him) is a notorious "remixer"/DJ. (I discovered this when people in the class CONSTANTLY commented on him being an awesome DJ/"remixer". Apparently he's notorious for his talent in the "art of remixing", as I would like to call it) He plays a pretty good guitar, likes any type of music (as per usual) and claims to be a fast learner.
Najwa likes to draw and sing songs. She seems to be OK with any type of music, (just like the other four students before her) like the previous girls in this post, claims to be a good mediator. (girls seem to have that one knack about being good peacemakers compared to us boys)
Nadya enjoys poetry (although I currently do not know what part of it she enjoys; either listening to it, creating her own, or maybe even both, but I do know for a fact that she enjoys it) and singing. (that's true, she often expresses her love of Justin Timberlake songs, once quietly singing one such song in IT class back in 7th grade. And NO, don't assume this was discovered due to stalking or any of that $#!+, I'm pretty sure other people than me know that fact as well) She prefers alternative rock and house music out of all the other music styles, and notes that she is humorous and someone you'd call a mood-maker. And by "mood-maker" I mean that that's what the class assumed her to be, after the class found out that she was good at creating pick... up... You know what? I think I'm giving too much information. Better stop before this leads to me getting my @$$ kicked during music tomorrow.
Dandy enjoys dancing, singing and plays a good piano. He prefers indie pop out of all the other music genres. He claims to be a fit and capable leader.
Keizar notes his skills as a communicator, and (according to a large percentage of the class) a ludicrous comedian. This is true, considering that last year in my English class Keizar had launched a gut-busting, outrageous and creative puns, including:
Rachael enjoys drawing, likes playing the piano, enjoys all types of music and claims to be a loyal follower to other people. (probably regardless if said person has leader-like features or is just as normal as the next guy, she didn't clarify this with the class)
Daleescha (pronounced Duh-lee-shuh) says that she likes to dance, play the violin, enjoys every kind of music, and like some of the students mentioned before, is dubbed a "mood-maker" by the class.
Then there's Jason, me. I enjoyed writing stories (my classmates have had a bit of a laugh over my stories last year in 7th grade, and yeah, I've noticed I've got some talent as a story-writer, and I guess a bit of talent for philosophy. You can check out some of my philosophy here, if you want) and I occasionally sang. (of course, not out loud, but sometimes in a quiet voice when I'm alone in my bedroom or whenever I'm by myself with nobody around to hear. I don't know why it's so embarrassing, but that's just the way I roll) For "preferred music genre", I picked something different compared to what the other students said: Anything... EXCEPT for... okay, here I go... (deep breath) One Direction and Justin Bieber. (Okay, I'm just going to use this moment to brace myself for any hate comments from all those die-hard "Directioners" and "Beliebers" who criticize my dislike for them) Even my closest friends didn't know about this fact about me.
If any of you readers are protesting why I dislike 1D and JB, (part of my class did too, especially during the "One Direction" part. Justin Bieber? Not that much. Sorry, Beliebers) click here to see my arguments about THEM. (for people that are fans AND are easily irritated, I suggest you avoid reading it altogether to stop your temper from smashing the device you're reading this on) Otherwise, read on.
Anyway, for my "notable characteristics", the class concluded that I was pretty humorous guy, (possibly due to my stories and the way I introduced my dislike of 1D and JB to the class) while I claimed myself to be a patient person. Okay, that was enough rambling about myself, so let's just move on to other students.
George enjoys drawing (very true: As a close friend I've often seen him doodling on his notebook during English class for as long as he's been in this school. Hell, virtually half of his English notebook is filled with these illustrations) and playing the drums. (OK, in the range of time that I've been in school with him, I've never seen him touch a drum) He likes any type of music (wait, there's an exception) as long as it isn't classical music. The class describes him as creative, which is apparently evident in his drawings. Other than that, I don't know what else they know about him that makes them think he's more creative than the next guy, but I hope there was.
Alysa is a talented "talker", (Which is quite right. She and her twin sister Amyra (who, for some strange reason, isn't here on the list despite the two being in the same class, causing a bit of identity crisis) are well-known for their discipline and work ethic, which might explain her outstanding "talking skills". Amyra may also have these skills, but it's unconfirmed (at least to me) enjoys playing the piano and the guitar, likes to listen to acoustic music, and claims to be a good motivator.
Rifa enjoys dancing, especially to K-Pop. She played the harp, (I guess she doesn't play it anymore due to a small "incident" with the harp in which she said to her parents she wanted a harp, which is what her parents gave her. Later on in her life, she regretted asking for one in the first place. (don't ask me why) She apparently still regrets that decision until now) likes rapping, listening to R&B and Folk music, and is a fit and capable leader. (proved by the numerous times she had joined various school events as the volunteer)
Michael (or Mike to his friends) enjoys drawing, playing the bass, the guitar, and the ukulele. (that is a lot of instruments, huh?) He dislikes slow songs, mainly because it "restricts" his movement, him being a "kinesthetic" type of guy. He enjoys cracking people up. (which has got him into trouble more times than I can even care to remember)
So there's the list of people in my music class. Hopefully, dear reader, (whoever you may be; teacher, outraged Directioner/Belieber, or maybe even one of the students in my class) this list satisfies its purpose. Whether it's to inform you fans about my dislike of the two artists/bands that some people may like, (check back to my profile if you're not sure what I'm talking about/need to "refresh your memory" a bit) as proof to my teacher that I've done my homework (in the most complicated and unnecessary way possible in the class) or just for your amusement.
Specifically for my friends in my class, I know that I virtually GLAZED references about you guys on this post like frosting on a cake, so please don't bombard me with insults about the fact that I didn't ask for your permissions to talk about yourselves online, especially because there might be some chance of you seeing something that's supposed to be kept under wraps on my blog. Hopefully I didn't hurt you guys in any way, but if you feel hurt, I won't complain if you decide to scream at me or B!+$#-slap me or do whatever you do to guys who talk about personal details too much, especially by spreading said details online.
So basically, I hope that I'm still in the "middle ground' after writing this post. If I'm not, well, I'm probably going to have to spend the next few days away from school and away the mighty swell of public outrage, (which might still be mad at me after the 1D/JB statement) but hopefully it won't come to that. But for now, I'll wrap this post up and hope for the best. So thanks for reading and see you... next time!

- "What? I don't know what you're talking 'a-boat'." (folds a piece of paper into a boat)
- "I stepped on some cereal one day and people started calling me "cereal" killer."
- And many more.

He dislikes slow songs, mainly because it "restricts" his movement, him being a "kinesthetic" type of guy. He enjoys cracking people up. (which has got him into trouble more times than I can even care to remember)
So there's the list of people in my music class. Hopefully, dear reader, (whoever you may be; teacher, outraged Directioner/Belieber, or maybe even one of the students in my class) this list satisfies its purpose. Whether it's to inform you fans about my dislike of the two artists/bands that some people may like, (check back to my profile if you're not sure what I'm talking about/need to "refresh your memory" a bit) as proof to my teacher that I've done my homework (in the most complicated and unnecessary way possible in the class) or just for your amusement.
Specifically for my friends in my class, I know that I virtually GLAZED references about you guys on this post like frosting on a cake, so please don't bombard me with insults about the fact that I didn't ask for your permissions to talk about yourselves online, especially because there might be some chance of you seeing something that's supposed to be kept under wraps on my blog. Hopefully I didn't hurt you guys in any way, but if you feel hurt, I won't complain if you decide to scream at me or B!+$#-slap me or do whatever you do to guys who talk about personal details too much, especially by spreading said details online.
So basically, I hope that I'm still in the "middle ground' after writing this post. If I'm not, well, I'm probably going to have to spend the next few days away from school and away the mighty swell of public outrage, (which might still be mad at me after the 1D/JB statement) but hopefully it won't come to that. But for now, I'll wrap this post up and hope for the best. So thanks for reading and see you... next time!
