Hey here is my response , I'm not too good at notating rhythms though- any tips?
Thanks heaps!
Hey Caitlin!
- Excellent work on rhythmic observations in Verse 1 - You've also covered beat, metre and tempo. Nice!
- Good work on tone colour in Verse 1 as well - Remember for vocalists you can discuss their register as an easy detail to add
- The second synthesiser you describe (I think I'm following you), doesn't play sixteenth notes, it actually plays in rhythmic unison with the first, more bass like synthesiser riff!
- Fantastic discussion of the tone colour differences in Verse 2! Some more discussion of the new rhythmic patterns in this section would be beneficial.
For rhythmic dictation, if you are having trouble, start not with notes but with
lines representing the relative length of the notes. So,
- - - ---------- - - - ------------
^ Something like that - This might be where you stop and the markers are okay with that! Otherwise, it can be a building block to the notes themselves
