- Explore SmartMusic using the invitation that was sent by Mr. Clift. Submit to Mr. Clift a recording of yourself using SmartMusic to the best of your ability, or write about your experience as a first-time user of SmartMusic.
- Go outside, close your eyes, and listen. Think about what sounds you can hear. Then see if you can either recreate one of the sounds using your instrument, or make a short composition to make a representation of something that you heard (e.g. the life of a bird that you heard). Record and submit your composition.
- Take one of the exercises from Essential Elements that you know well. Transpose the song by starting on a different note and playing the melody using all the same note intervals as in the original exercise. Submit a recording of yourself playing your transposed version.
