Target 9: How to improve my work

If you have used loops:


1. Are your loops in the same key and tempo? (Intermediate)
2. Add in software instruments (Higher)
3. Only use software instruments (Advanced)

Reflecting your picture in your music:


1. Does the tempo (speed) reflect the picture?
2. Does the pitch reflect the picture?
3. Do the instruments you have chosen reflect the picture?
4. Does the texture reflect the picture?

Anything else you could add:


1. Make sure there are no hesitations/pauses in your music
2. Make sure that the tempo (speed) is consistent throughout
3. Could you add in extra instruments?
4. Think of a story line for your piece to follow (make a note
of this on your plan page)
