Audacity Music Mix

I decided to mix and cut some songs to make a music mix using Audacity. I will use the methods of the Utah Core Curriculum for Dance. I decided to do this so that in the future, I can use this song to choreograph a competitive dance routine for my students.

Music Mix from Audacity

I will use this project in the classroom because the dancers/students will be learning a competitive dance routine to this song that I created.

The technology I used (Audacity), will help the PK and CK of what I will be teaching my students. The students may need to know how to uses Audacity as well to choreograph their own solos and duets. The Pedagogical knowledge is the general use of the Audacity program. The Content knowledge is knowing what music will fit the 2 minute standard for competition music, what time signatures fit with each other, and what kinds of music will go well together to create an awesome music mix for dance.

Was it pretty intuitive to learn how to use audacity?

Yes and no. There were some aspects of Audacity that I didn't know how to work but I figured it out and it was great mixing and cutting music!
