MIDI 1 Week 5

If you want to get a head start, your Mid Term Project is posted on my Learning Web page in the Assignments folder. There is just 1 skill we need to cover in class (Audio CD), but you can get started now on the sequence.

Have a great weekend!

MIDI 1 Week 4

On Tuesday this week we will review for Quiz 1. A review sheet is posted on my Learning Web page under "Tests", but please come to class, take notes and ask questions! We will also learn a few new things about using Digital Performer.

I will be returning your Drum Labs. Maybe we will listen to a few in class.

On Thursday, you will take Quiz 1. It will be 25 questions, multiple choice. You will need a pencil or pen , but no Scantron.

I will give you some time to work on your JV1010 Labs and I will answer any questions you have.

MIDI 1 Week 3

This week we will be learning more about how MIDI works. We will also learn some more ways to use Digital Performer to sequence.

Please read Chapter 8 in the textbook.

Also please continue to bring in your Listening Assignments.

See you in class!

MIDI 1 Week 2

This week we will begin sequencing in Digital Performer. Please bring your headphones to every class. You will also need a notebook to take notes. You should print out Using DP 1 and 2 from the Handouts section on my Learning Web page. You will begin your first sequencing assignment this week.

If you have purchased a USB Flash drive, please bring it to class this week. You will need it soon.

Also, you may begin bringing your Listening Assignment to class. This is the song for us to listen to. Be sure to fill out the assignment sheet and turn it in when we listen to your song.

Please read Chapter 1 in the textbook and answer the Review Questions at the end of the chapter. You should number a piece of paper 1-10, and write the letter of the correct answer for each question. Here's one answer for free: #10. TRUE.

Also read Chapter 2 p.25-28. You do not need to answer the review questions for this chapter.
