When handing in the CYOA assignment, create a file folder with your name in project final copies.  In the folder there must be THREE files: 

Hi everyone,

While I'm away Tuesday, please continue to work on your CYOA assignments.

For all my classes, by the end of the week you should have your chords, bassline and drums recorded - and have started the process of creating a melody.

Hi Everyone,

While I'm away sick today, please continue working on your 12 bar blues assignment, and focus mainly on the first twelve bars.  If you have a permission form and money for the Scratch Lab trip, please give it to Mr. Pinhorn. Continue to practice your F+ chords as you will be tested next week.  If you did not get a sheet they are up at the front on the ledge.  See you on Wednesday.

For the 12-Bar Blues Assignment, record:
- chords
- walking bassline
- jazz style drums (swing eighth notes)
- blues melody (with lyrics!)

Your blues melody should be simple and repetitive.  As a general rule, use one note (rhythmically) per syllable of a word.  Write your lyrics FIRST, then write a melody to work with the lyrics.  Check out the examples listed on the assignment on YouTube for some inspiration.

Write your blues lyrics on a word document to be submitted with the final assignment.

On Wednesday April 13th we will be going to the Scratch Lab Dj Institute for a day of learning how to DJ!  This trip is open to all Midi students (grades 10-12) and costs only $33.  There are only 24 spots so get your permission form and money in quick!

Attention all grade 10 students:

4. You have selected a master track effect.
