For my music elective I wrote an instrumental piece called “My Lullaby”. Before taking this elective I had never written music before. The process of writing music was a lot more complex than expected, but it was worth it. I used a program called Logic Pro X which was very confusing to use. Looking at this program being a beginner, it honestly just looked like a whole lot of colored buttons. Most of the students in my class, used Garage Band to write their music, so I feel my experience with making electronic music was entirely different--I'm not going to lie, it was a terrifying process. I always kept thinking, “does this sound right?” or “this isn't good enough.” It took me a total of three hours to actually create my finished product, but much more went into the process than that because I spent several class periods trying other ideas out that didn't quite work for me. Once again, all of the time and effort was worth it.
