Remember to try to stick to the rules that the "Get Ready" assignments from the Inside Music Website. Here's an example of a piece that stuck to the rules very well:
The odd thing is that G either isn't the home tone, or we aren't in G major.
The following piece doesn't follow directions exactly, but sounds very good, in large part due to the use of motives:
Also, remember this:
1) When you submit your work and write a description, really try to describe what you've done. Use full sentences, not just phrases or a single word. Also, in your description you should answer the "reflect" questions on the "get ready". You don't have to answer the questions when submitting "create" assignments, because you'll have to do that on the blog page.
2) When doing a "create" assignment you should be thinking of it as a full-fledged composition. Maybe it's short, but think of it as something you could use. See my "create" assignment:
3)Finally, change the tempo. Make every tempo different. Out of all the assignments to which I've listened, only one of them wasn't qtr=120 !!
