 * ===Date=== || ===Reflection=== ||
 * 5/15/12 || Alex and Ben taught us how to use garage band. I am interested for this project and I think I will do well. ||
 * 5/17/12 || We messed around with garage band. We have the basic idea of what our song is going to be like. We want to have a mix of chords and individual notes. We are going to see what instruments work with our chords and which instruments work well with our individual notes. ||
 * 5/21/12 || We made an example song and explored the instruments. Our example song didn't work well because our song didn't fit with the instruments you add to the song. I think we need to explore the instruments more so we know what our song should look like. ||
 * 5/23/12 || We did more exploring with the instruments and are ready to make our song. We found that the best instruments to use are the more commonly used ones. An example of one that doesn't fit is the woodwind instruments. These instruments are high pitched and don't work well with our song. An instrument that worked well are the rock 'n' roll instruments. They worked well because they went well with the chords. ||
 * 5/25/12 || I was absent for the class. When I came back our group made good progress with our song. They found that ||
 * 5/30/12 || We started making our song. We realized that my composition I made up doesn't go well with the instruments you can edit in. I think this is because my composition didn't have much chords in it. ||
 * 6/1/12 || We found that chords make the song interesting. With chords we have many options for which instruments we want to use. I think this is because it adds more to the song. ||
 * 6/512 || We finished making our song. Our composition is all chords. The instruments blend well with our chords. The instruments we decided on was a country rock type. ||
 * 6/7/12 || We worked on editing our journals. We had to do this because we wrote things like "we did stuff" and "We fooled around with garage band". ||
