 * I want you to create other moods using just one musical instrument from a symphony orchestra.


 * The goal is to create unique moods from the natural sounds of musical instrument rather than by creating music.


 * What mood does an oboe create?


 * What mood does a french horn make?


 * What mood does a trumpet make?


 * What mood does real world instruments create?

Your assignment

 * Try creating moods such as :


 * sad
 * tired
 * surprise
 * etc.


 * using just one, two, or three notes of a single instrument of the symphony orchestra or real world instruments.


 * Instructions


 * To do this, play a single note (or two) of a musical instrument to create a mood (six seconds.)


 * Reshape the note's volume to create a sound effect (rather than just a simple "on/off" note.)


 * Try this for all the instruments of the symphony orchestra and send me the best three.


 * Write me and tell me what moods you have created. (I know this should be obvious but sometimes it is not.)

No melody!!!

 * Remember: Use no melody and, preferably, no rhythm. Just simple notes!


 * One, two, or three notes.

Points

 * If you use a single note, you get ten points. (Chords count as a single note.)


 * If you use two consecutive notes, you get nine points.  (Chords count as a single note.)


 * But if you use three consecutive notes, you get only four points.  (Chords count as a single note.)

The next assignment

 * The current lesson demonstrates how moods can be created with simple notes using the natural sound of the musical instrument.


 * In the next lesson, you will see how moods can be created by delicate rhythms. Once you send me your audio file for the sound of fear, go to Exercise : The sound of joy
