USING MOBILE PHONE TO COMPOSE

It was the first time we have used mobiles phone  in class and think we will continue with more Apps.

We have been working with two programas.Android:Music composition and Apple: iwritemusic-free.

With these applications we have learned how to  write basic melodies with and without chords, using various alterations, beats, rhythms …

At the same time we heard what we were writing at the time to listen alone or show it to classmates.

Finally we had several options, save scores created, export as images or as midi.

It has been a fantastic experience for me and for the students because we have learned and shared together.

Here you have a video with images of this new experience.

Here there are some examples of compositions 2º ESO A/B  students in Music Composition program have made through their phones or tablets.

It was a new experience and we learned basic elements of musical composition as types of melodies, chords and basic degrees, alterations, various alterations and rhythmic variety.

We have had the opportunity to compose making good use of our mobile and transfer technology to the classroom today.

If you click on the picture you access to view scores in larger size.

I congratulate you all for your work but above all for your interest and participation.

Sure continue testing more Apps!!
