You should. It's a great class :D
I loved it, plus my bass teacher was fu[I]c[/I]king gorgeous. So that made it a whole lot better.
He left half way through the year though :(.

Good luck with it.
It's easy peasy, not meaning to sound big headed but it was!!

Dead Star 08-03-2006 03:27 PM

I'll have a chat with my sisters about it, see what they say.

Then probably ignore their advice, and go for it.

Jon 08-03-2006 04:06 PM

music AS spoilt my love for music, and for quite a while after finishing the course I was very reluctant to pick up my guitar at all.

that doesnt sound good. im doing Music Tech AS hope that doesn't happen to me.

Jon 08-03-2006 04:20 PM

Music Tech sounds cool, no worries there dude.

I didn't do Music GCSE, and thats all the lower there is =/

Dead Star 08-03-2006 04:22 PM

Oh, I don't know how the English System goes.

I thought AS was like, Advanced Higher.

Jev 08-03-2006 04:25 PM

So why's AS music so bad?

Brew 08-03-2006 04:26 PM

Music Tech is a good course, its a shame EdExcel are scrapping it by 2010 (they're scrapping Music aswell)

Jon 08-03-2006 04:36 PM

AS Music forces you to scrutinize every little detail of the music and assumes that there is a reason for every note being on the page, not just "because it sounds good".

My favourite example, from possibly the second week of Year 12 was:
"Why does Mozart use a minim in bar 3 beat 1-2?"

The answer was, not because it sounds nice, but because it "suspends the harmonic rhythm.

What the fuc[size=2]k[/size]?

I don't think Johnny Ramone could even pronounce harmonic rhythm, much less spell it, understand it or implement it.

In conclusion you go into the year saying "yeah, I like a bit of classical and Jazz, why not?", and you go out wanting to die :)

ps, bebop is not a real genre.

Ah I see. I too hate having to over analyse music.

I'm sure mozart sat there and thought "yes, this Minim 3 really helps to suspend the harmonic rhythm of the piece" when he was writing it :rolleyes:

Jon 08-03-2006 04:48 PM

On the plus side you do learn some useful stuff (basslines, thingy harmony I can't even remember what its called...), but yeah.

Don't drop it because some rock'n'roller on the internet told you to :)

Brew 08-03-2006 04:51 PM

You end up analysing music in Music Tech aswell, but not in as much detail.

Jev 08-03-2006 04:51 PM

Yeah I'll see how it is.
I can always drop it if I hate it.

My baby brother is in hospital, oh dear.
