                   The student will be able to:
                       Understand the fundamentals of MIDI programming for music production.
                       Recreate melodies, chords, and drum beats using MIDI instruments.
                       Apply sequencing, arranging, and sound selection techniques.
                       Modify MIDI parameters such as velocity, pitch, and timing for expression.
                       Create, arrange, and export a full MIDI-based cover of a popular song.






                           INTRODUCTION

                 In this project, you will use MIDI programming techniques to create a cover version of a popular

                 song.  By  programming  instruments,  adjusting  MIDI  notes,  and  applying  effects,  you  will gain
                 hands-on experience in digital music production using tools like BandLab.
                 Project Goals:

                     Learn how to recreate melodies, chords, and rhythms using MIDI.

                     Develop skills in sequencing, arranging, and sound selection.
                     Understand how to manipulate MIDI notes for dynamics and expression.




                           CHOOSING A SONG TO COVER

                 Select a song that is well-known and easy to recreate using MIDI instruments. Ideally, pick a

                 song that has a clear melody, chords, and a simple rhythm.
                 Examples of Songs:

                     “Believer” – Imagine Dragons

                     “Shape of You” – Ed Sheeran
                     “Someone Like You” – Adele
