This document is a session planner for a community project on creative digital sound. The session objectives are for participants to familiarize themselves with synthesisers, create a chord progression, learn their role in the ensemble, and play together as a group. Planned activities include solo practice, creating a chord progression with help, merging sounds, and practicing with drums and bass. The facilitator reflects that communication and group work improved from the last session, though more structure could have helped. Participants were engaged, learned their roles quickly, and created representative music. The next session will focus more on listening to others and working together as an ensemble.

Participants will get a chance to familiarise themselves with
the synthesisers Create a chord progression using the synthesisers Participants will learn of their role playing in the ensemble Participants will get a chance to play together as a group
Planned Activities for this session:
At the beginning of the session participants will do some solo
play in order to familiarise themselves with their chosen synthesiser sound. Participants, with the aid of Lesley and I, will begin to create a chord progression for their section of the composition. Participants will begin merging together their chosen sounds and identify the certain parts/roles each has to play. Participants will practise this section with drums played by Lesley and bass played by me.
How did it go reflecting on this?
The session went well this week. Unlike last session there were a lot more successful group activities. As a group we were able to be a lot more creatively minded together , involving a great emphasis in communication, which I feel participants benefited a lot from. Perhaps the session could have been a bit more structured, playing together and coming up with ideas did take us a bit more time than we anticipated. However it is an informal style of learning, and due
to the nature of this work, it is important to remain flexible,
minimising pressure on participants - which I believe is a more enjoyable and fun way of learning.
The level of engagement and/or achievement by participants:
There was a great deal of engagement during this session, everyone felt included in the group activities and were able to identify quickly and confidently their role in the ensemble. The style of learning we adopted in this session, meant participants felt comfortable adding their section to the ensemble. This made it possible to come up with a section of music that was both an achievement and representative of each participants expressions and taste in music.
Feedback/observations and any pointers to enhance or improve the
next session: Although participants were clearly able to work well as an ensemble there were many times they weren't listening to others and focusing more on their own sound, which didn't quite fit in with the rest of the ensemble. Next week I would like to put more emphasis on listening to others and making more of an effort to work with the group.
