Didn't like the last question much, I don't think I got enough down.
Loved the first question though. It was easy, and it made me think of singing penguins. It's hard to be anything but happy with singing penguins in your head.

yeah i thought it was a great paper
i managed to write heaps
question 1 was so good :)
question 4 i thought could have used another playing seeing as the other 8 markers
had 6 playings and for q4 u needed to not only label structure but talk about every concept
but eh i was happy with what i wrote
i loved the jazz piece.. i must have stopped writing for a sec to listen and enjoy the piece
then i was like, crap back to work haha
love it its only an hour :p

yeah it went really quickly hey?
haha.. i had images of dancing penguins in my head too.. and the sound of the warning beep sounds like the opening to the nick cave and the bad seeds 'the weeping song'.. i kept singing it in my head every time i heard it.. hahah.
questions were pretty good though, i stuffed the last one up.. but oh well :)

I disliked the second question, wrote barely anything about the dynamics. Like yeah it had accents and the volume was around mf/m. hmmm what else??

I liked the other questions though, i felt like i had to do a few rushed and bullshit loaded conclusions lol.

I think they are just looking for acknowledgements of the use of concepts, nothing too fancy.

I hope thats it anyway, because thats how I answered the questions

Was this the accordion and wood wind instrument?

There was the massive ornamentation: trills, pitch bends, slurring/tonging too I think (well that's what I put)

Yes. wasn't the question Pitch and Dynamics/Expressive techniques? - The latter is like the same thing, really - at least that's what I thought. What was that instrument btw anyway?

I jumbled it all together, probably a bad idea.

But dynamics/expressive techniques (Are we considering this the same thing?)

If so then I did what I said above plus changes in volume, accents, the accordion being around the same volume (besides accents) - I don't know. Like I said, I kind of hate aural I don't know if what I write is what they want.
