So I decided to base my piece on the text from Britney Spear's Womanizer. I thought it might be fun to take lyrics that are recognizable to a lot of people and twist them out of context. I decided to score it for female voice, piano, marimba, and percussion (wood blocks, snare and shaker). I wanted the song to still have some pop music elements, so I figured that these instruments would probably do the trick.
The song went over well in class, and because there wasn't a whole lot of it finished yet and I didn't have copies of the score with me there was hard to give a lot of feedback. Hopefully next week when I present I'll have more written and the class will be able to see the score.

New Semester!
weee its a new term.
I'm going to try not to be a downer right about now...
But I'm not having a great start with the first project. I'm finding it really difficult to come up with different ideas (and putting them together). I started two different pieces but I really didn't like them. I'm going to go see Dr. Ross during his office hours I think to get some help...
yikes.
I promise to be more optomistic as the term progresses!
haha
