Day 3: Finish the Scavenger Hunt
Wednesday, August 5th, 2026
Shortened Period
Work Session: 20 Minutes of Work Time
Finish the Loop Scavenger Hunt. The requirements have not changed — five separate projects, four loops in each, every loop chosen because it sounds good with the other three.
| Set | What to collect |
|---|---|
| 1 | One loop each from Drums, Bass, Synth, and Piano. |
| 2 | Open the Genres menu, pick one genre, and take all four loops from it. |
| 3 | One loop each from Percussion, Strings, Vocal, and Guitar. |
| 4 | Four loops whose names start with the letters C, J, L, and S. |
| 5 | Your choice — any four loops you want. |
Every project needs a school-appropriate name, and every name needs to be written on your worksheet. A project Mr. Willingham cannot find is a project that does not get graded.
Work Session: Pick One to Share
Tomorrow every person plays one set for the class. Choose yours now, while the projects are still open in front of you.
Listen back to all five and pick the one where the four loops fit together best — not the one that took the longest, and not the one with your favorite single loop in it. A set with one amazing loop and three that fight it is a worse pick than four loops that agree with each other.
Circle your pick on your worksheet and be ready to say one sentence about it: what the four loops are, and why they belong together.
Standards
- MSMTC8.CR.3 — Evaluate and refine selected musical ideas to create musical work that meets appropriate criteria (finishing each set so all four loops meet the “sounds good together” requirement, not just the category requirement).
- MSMTC8.RE.1 — Choose music appropriate for a specific purpose or situation (listening back to all five sets and choosing the most cohesive one to present to the class).
