For the explorations project, the students were challenged to improve one skill. This was an open project, where we could choose to improve any skill we desired. As a musician, I wanted to improve my skills in this area so I learned how to play two instruments, the Electric Bass and Ukulele. This project allowed Freestyle Students to improve their passions and become prepared for the ever-evolving world ahead.

Infographic

For this project we created an Infographic about our topic. I answered the question, “What are the most common musical instruments to play?”

The Creation

I used Adobe Illustrator to organize and draw the silhouette to put the Infographic together.

Experimental Music

Another assignment we had to complete was experimental music in which we were supposed to make a song in either Reason or Pro Tools. I chose reason and the song I made is below.
