Welcome to my blog site. I will be posting anything and everything about what I do with music, may it be teaching, performing, composing, arranging, and orchestrating. Leave a comment, follow, share your thoughts, and let’s help each other be better musicians.
We were tasked to create an introduction video on the subjects we teach, in my case it’s Orchestration 2 (Advance Orchestration Techniques). My subject is a prerequisite to 2 Film Scoring subjects. This made me create my lessons in such a way that it leans more on orchestrating for film music. After finishing my video, I decided to compose a score to accompany my intro vid, which would eventually be integrated in the lessons as part of my lecture material.
This short YouTube video shows my first full orchestra writing experience in Dorico using its Condensing feature, as well as the first time I ever scored a film completely within a notation program. I’m using Noteperformer 3 as my sample library here.
Just finished uploading a video showing my workflow in creating music lecture materials and worksheets using Dorico’s Engrave Mode. Hope this helps fellow educators out there.
This video shows the features of Dorico that I found interesting during the 30-day trial period. My perspective comes from being a long time user of another notation software
College of Saint Benilde, School of Design and Arts, Music Production Program: Arranging Students (ARRBAND, ARRORCH, ADARORC). Here is a short video to help you with your score and parts layout for your midterm projects. Notation software in the video is Finale, but you can easily translate these concepts to your preferred notation program.
Here are the works of my Orchestration 1 and 2 class, 1st term SY 2019-2020
These are the final projects of my Orchestration 1 class in De La Salle College of Saint Benilde, School of Design and Arts, Music Production Program.
Jun Regalado is regarded as Asia’s most recorded drummer. His works spans from the 70’s up to te early 90’s with recording credits such as song from VST & Co., Ryan Cayabyab (ex. KAY GANDA NG ATING MUSICA), Basil valdez, Kuh Ledesma, as well as commercial and jingle music produced by the likes of Louie Ocampo, Ryan Cayabyab, and Jose Mari Chan. His vast experience in the recording and performing industry makes him a true pillar of OPM.
Final project live orchestra reading of my orchestration class for both 2nd term and 3rd term, school year 2016-2017 at the College of Saint Benilde School of Design and Arts, Music Production Department.
Here’s a short clip of my one-on-one bass class at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde Music Production Department (student name: Zildjan Benitez). An effective walking bassline should outline the harmony horizontally since the bass is essentially a monophonic instrument.
Here’s a short clip from my orchestration class. An interesting orchestration technique is done by Tchaikovsky which switches the focus of the listener from the melody to the countermelody.
