My Inspiration For This Song

With the musical coming up I'm going to have limited time so, I thought I would post versions of dog days are over and how people made it there own. This first one is of Vicci Martinez who was a contestant on the voice and this is how I got introduced to this song. This is my favorite version of this song.

My Mentor

My Mentor is Mrs. Ferraro. I know Mrs. Ferraro from taking four years of choir and one year of AP music theory. She is so amazing at music. I can show her a piece of music and she can tell me what is wrong with it and what I should I change to make it better. It is amazing. I couldn't think of anyone I could have as my mentor for my wise project.

Dog Days Are Over- Could This Work?

Yes. This is the perfect song for me. I like that it has three different parts, this way it allows me to do three different things. I feel as the more things I can do with a song the better it will sound with the choir. It is also a three chord progression song so it is easy to work with. I can't wait to get started on it.

Fast Car- Could This Work?

Nope. It is a long song that feels long. I do not care if the song is short or long, I want the song to feel timeless. This song does not feel timeless.

Chicago- Could This Work?

Nope. It is to repetitive and I almost get bored while listening to it. I also do not think it will sound that good with a choir.

Step One : Pick a Song

To arrange a song, you need a song. I have to pick out a song. I cannot just pick out my favorite song, I have to pick a song that can work for a choir. I will be posting a couple songs that could possibly work.

WELCOME!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG FOR WISE 2012! For my wise project, I am taking a song and arranging it for a choir. I have such a love of music and I cannot see myself doing my wise project on anything else besides music. I hope you enjoy seeing me go through the process of arranging music. I know it is going to be a long tedious process and I might have gray hair at the end, but the I know the reward is going to be sweet.
