20 Time

My project is the ukulele. I have been working on a few songs over the course of this tri and I have chosen one that I will film myself playing. Then I will record myself playing the words part of the song on a different instrument and I will put it all together to make a video.

20 Time Grosse Pointe

I read about Cameron S. 20 time. He is writing a book about WWIII. In his blog, he talked about what he has learned and how well he thinks the project has gone for him. He thinks it went well because he got a good piece of his novel done, but he didn't get as far as he wanted because he procrastinated. He is planing on continuing the novel after the class is over.

20 Time

My project is learning a song on my Ukulele.
I have been working on this since last tri.
I have learned one song and am working on another one thats like 5 minutes long.
Next I will continue working on both songs and get ready for my presentation.

Grosse Pointe

I read about Cameron's 20 Time, he is writing a book about WWIII. He is preparing for a speech he will be giving later in May. The speech is about what he has learned over the past year with his 20 time project.

20 Time Post

My 20 Time project is my Ukulele again, I did it last tri and I want to continue it. My mentor is going to be Fred Bowls. He was the one that gave me it and I already go to him for any questions I have regarding music. I have been working on a few songs to see which one I like better, also I have learned a little bit of a finger picking pattern. What I'm doing next will be to continue working on a song to present.

Grosse Pointe 20 Time

I read Cameron S., he is writing a book about a third world war. He has done a little more writing and he has came up with another part that he wants to include. Cameron is going to take a few chapters to explain what the President is doing about it and how he feels about it. He has not had any problems with his project.

My project is the ukulele. For presenting I plan on playing a song then present the requirements in a Power Point or I'll write down notes of what to say and go through that. I'm debating between the two because the Power Point will look better but pretty much serve the same purpose as just writing it down and reading it off. I like the project I chose and I wouldn't do something different if given the chance because once a week I get to go by myself and work on something that I love doing and being able to progress at it at the same time.

20 TIme Grosse Pointe

I read about Cameron S., he is writing a book about a WWIII. He has typed the prologue and the whole first chapter, while he was typing the prologue he cut out a part of it because he realized the information wasn't necessary to know before reading the book and that it would be explained as the book went on. He has also changed things around in it and described things more. They have not had any problems that they have wrote about.

20 Time Blog Post Grosse Point

I read about Cameron S. 20 Time Project. He has pretty much finished the first part of his book and will soon start to type it, from there he will finish the book typing instead of writing it like he did the first half. The only problem I see he had was that he regrets writing out the first part because its taking so long, he feels it would have been faster if he would have just typed it in the first place.

My 20 Time Project is getting better on the Ukulele. I have been working on a song that I have known since I started playing two years ago. The song is supposed to be in cut time (2/4 instead of 4/4) and since I have working on it during 20 Time I am now able to play it how it is supposed to be played which is in cut time. I haven't had any challenges. Next I will see if I can add things into the song to make it more exciting (ex. change the strumming pattern).

20 Time Post

My 20 Time Project is learning to play more on my Ukulele. My goals for my project is to learn different patterns, learn to finger pick, and learn a popular song. The obstacle I have encountered is having to change my project from tenor sax to ukulele because there wasn't a place I could go where I wouldn't bother anyone. My final project will to be either finger pick a song or play a popular song.

20 time blog from Grosse Pointe

The 20 time I read about was Cameron S. going to write a novel and hopefully get it published. They are still in the brainstorming process but plan to provide a summary of the first shots in the war that it is about (World War III). His biggest problem with his project is procrastination. This compares to my interest because I like books like he is writing, set in the future, and has history in it (another World War).
