Student-facing instructions
Your task today is to work in your music groups to take the feedback you received on your composition and make improvements. You will adjust elements like dynamics, tempo, EQ, or transitions in your digital audio workstation (DAW) or on live instruments. Once your changes are made, record a new version of your piece. At the end, compare your new recording with the original to see how your changes improved your music.
