pitch: to determine or set the key of (a tune, an instrument, or the voice)
octavethe eighth tone of an ascending or descending diatonic scale, or a tone seven degrees above or below a given tone in such a scale


Summary
         In this assignment I had to organize the notes in alphabetical order. I used quarter notes, half notes & a few rest notes. I labeled them with letters according to high or low the notes were. If they were really high it was labeled as an A & if it was really low it was label either a E or D. If it was in between it was either G,F, B or C. After I labeled the notes, I played the composition all together to see how it sounded & if there was anything that needed to be adjusted. After I made a few minor changes, I uploaded it to blogger which is how I completed this assignment.

NF3:Take a rest



rest
is an interval of silence in a piece of music


Summary
                In this assignment I had to create my own composition again but this time using quarter rest notes & the other notes we learned & used in the 2 assignments. I used 4 measures to put my notes into as usual. I put a couple of quarter notes, half notes & quarter rest notes all around the 4 measures until I thought their was enough. When I finished putting the notes around the measures I played the composition to see if it sounded right. I made a few minor adjustments to the notes in the composition & when I was fully pleased with it, I saved it.
