Back From Spring Break and thinking about music



Got back from Spring Break this week. And it looks like I will need another vacation from all of the travel I've put in over the last several weeks. I feel like my work and my school work have piled on me so high, it will take me an eternity to feel like I am no longer behind in everything. I was wishing I was back to just studying music while I made my app this week. My app shows that music was on my mind. I made a game for identifying music and composers. I named it Famous Composers.


I used some of my favorite pieces to play and my favorite composers. I decided to use a clip of me playing one of these pieces for this blog. Then, as I previewed the clip, I cringed at the mistakes I made out of nerves, and it all came flooding back to me that studying music was super stressful! Now I am glad to be where I am.

My app needed a little tweaking as the sound component did not work on all my peers' devices. It turns out the sound component is only good for sounds up to 10 seconds long. The player component is used for longer clips. I made the switch and hope that everything is working well now. Check it out if you want to hear some awesome music. The music is all keyboards and organs except for the Mozart piece -- just because Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is favorite, and even though I love playing Mozart, I've been told I don't have "the hands" for it. It's a love/hate relationship.

On a side note, Spring Break was awesome. We toured the southeastern side of Utah. I live on the southwestern side. We hit 5 different designated nature areas. We went to Bears Ears and offered our prayers. #ProtectBearsEars It's a marvelous addition to our National Park Areas!
