My Gospel Experience 14 /1 /15During my gospel lesson we sang loads of songs such as Jump, Let the sun shine, Hold on to your faith, Happy, Rather be and Colours. I was really looking forward to seeing the gospel teachers .Nadee taught us all the harmonies and Emllin played the keyboard for the backing track. My favourite song was Happy because it is a really jumpy. I didn’t really like Hold on to your faith because it is quite annoying.The harmonies were split up into two groups altos and sopranos.
Mr Salazar’s Comments
• Good work Ecem. Please see my notes on the previous slides. There are a couple spelling errors, and I want the picture captions on the same slide as the pictures.

• Ecem, your definitions on slide 17 look good. Please answer the question that I left for you, and revise your definition of “Verse”
• Slide 18 is well done, but there are a couple of sections that are out of place. I have placed the correct order in Green. Please make the appropriate changes.
25th February 2015
• In this lesson I put the song happy together on movie maker I imported all the pieces it was quite easy but when I listened to the song at first it didn’t sound right then I realised I put the chorus before verse 1.Once I had finished I saved it under the name off Ecem 25.02.15. If I was to listen to happy and not knowing the song was split up into pieces I wouldn’t of realised.
Mr Salazar’s Comments 27 February
