ACID 4/10/10

The day started off with the students taking a learn@uw quiz. Chris went on to explain mastering in Audacity. Garrett was wise-crackin' as usual with his whole "lil' dude" thing with Chris. We told them that today was the first official BTW day so to get started with their song.

The artist of the day was Lady Gaga. We got to the "Bad Romance" music video during break and the whole class (including Chris) kept singing "Roma Ro-ma-ma-a... Ga Ga ooh la la..."

The students came back from break and were hard at work with their BTW projects. Although, there was frustration in the air. Richie, at a point, started to lose confidence and told Chris "Hey... this sucks." AJ and Chris helped motivate him to be creative and work on developing what he started. Marleny needed help getting a solid rhythm going so I helped set her on the right path and AJ further aided her in making the drums sound cleaner.

Overall, the session went well and the students got a lot done.
