“Good job Apeeps! There is still room for improvement in terms of

Musicianship and Creativity. For creativity, you can explore the different

ethnic instruments we have - Tuned and Untuned ethnic instruments. Getting familiar with the sounds of it and apply those to your music to make it more interesting. 

Vocal Melody Lines are one of the critical part of the music composition and songwriting process. For your Musicianship, I suggest that the vocal melodic lines should be discussed. Especially if the vocal lines are sung by a group. The melody are not clear in verses. But the lyrics are clear. 

Overall, the music composition and lyrics are related to the PBL question. The message is understandable. A fair amount of creativity and good musical skills were presented.”

"For me, it has a good recognizable chorus. The beat and instrumental was produced clean. Maganda rin yung idea na dinouble yung melody with the electric guitar to reinforce our melody. For the guitar part, you can choose a fuller tone to make it more energetic which will support the message of the song. During the verses, may mga parts na hindi malinaw yung lyrics and melody, which can be fixed by simplifying it some more. Overall, maganda yung blend ng modern and ethnic elements. Good job!"

“- The content of the song is relevant to the topic.

- There’s no highlighted ethnic instruments in the song. I wish you could add any distinctive native instruments like bamboo percussions, gongs etc.

- For musicality, the melody of the song has a potential to be catchy. This is a typical upbeat pop song. Hindi lang masyadong na-execute at na-present nang maayos but I understand some limitations. Maybe focus on improving vocal and instrumental skills.”
