Mr. Mbagwu plays 5–6 selected beats through the SmartBoard speakers.
For each beat: scholar’s name, 30–45 seconds of playback, class applauds.
Every beat represents weeks of learning — from your first loop to a full production with drums, bass, melody, and effects. Be proud. You are music producers.
Think about the moment in this unit where you felt most accomplished — a sound you created, a technique you mastered, a challenge you overcame.
If you could start your beat over with everything you know now, what would you change? More layers? Better mixing? Different genre?
When you hear music now, do you notice things you didn’t before? Panning? EQ? Producer choices? Layers?
