Kia Ora, everyone.
Today, I have chosen an activity called ‘Lets Get Funky’. For this activity, you got to go on a cool site called ‘Sumotunes’ and make a really cool music piece with it! I had so much fun with this activity because the end product is so cool! I loved how I could express myself with the music and turn it into a groovy song!
I think that next time I could have added some more instruments into the song. Here is the song:
Here is what it looked like when I was making it:
What do you think I could have done to make it better? What instruments would you choose?
Kia ora Emilee,
I just had a listen to your song – really funky indeed. I love the pace and that it was stripped back in some places. I think it’s important that music has a range of heavy vs light music. I’m not sure what the musical term for this is called but I just mean having too many instruments playing all the time throughout the song doesn’t give a lot of variation. I would maybe look at slowing it down momentarily so that it can speed back up, but just a suggestion.
I had a go myself on sumotunes and found it quite tricky – do you have any tips?

Talofa, Theresa
I will definitely take your comment to heart for the next Sumotunes work I do. I think your suggestion is really creative and personally I think you would be great at Sumotunes!
For tips, I think the best thing you could do is keep it simple, don’t stress yourself about it, and maybe watch some tutorials! Other people seem to pick it up faster than others, but that is completely ok!
From Emilee 🙂
