First part of the year, we learn the elements of sound. That part was really, really fun - to give you an idea, we spent a whole class doing stuff with a hose. In the end, our teacher used it as an elephant's trunk and blew into it, forming a ridiculously similar sound. He also swung it around above his head like a helicopter while blowing into it like a trumpet, making a sound that's pretty darn close. Second part, techniques of composition, which is music theory, form, and style. This is the part he hates to teach, but we trudge through. He tells me I can just work on my own in this part because I already have like years and years of experience with this. During this time, I usually work on my arrangements in a studio. Third part, we learn music technology, such as cubase, acid, and finale, but mainly studio work. From what I heard from previous students, this is really really awesome, and was the main reason I took this course.
Are these supposed to be percentage points, or something...? And I did equivalents. For example, I substituted all-district band with all-province honours band (are they equivalent?), which I didn't get into, having failed the audition in gr.8.
So, you sell them by the box? That would be difficult, considering each box is huge.
