Central Park School 'Gotcha Song'

Broadband Required to View 10 MB Large Flash File

 

Ms. Garrett wrote the 'Gotcha Song' for Central Park School. The song is about students doing their best in school and receiving Gotcha Cards for being responsible, respectful and resourceful. Each month, students receiving a certain number of cards are rewarded with movies, parties and other fun activities.

Students in Ms. Garrett's Music Technology class were able to learn how to record their voice into the computer and make sound waves with their voices. The students' voices sounded crazy when they changed the waves using different sound effects! The students are learning to use music programs to mix and record music with pre-recorded loops as well as with their own music.

 

Students also learned about the process for creating cartoons and creating videos using Chroma-Keying or the 'green screen' effect. All of the (230) students were able to participate in the green screen project. The students used sunglasses because the lights were so bright!

 

Ms. Garrett then chose a few students to participate in the final project above for all students to enjoy. The Music Tech class is so much fun!
