Piece Description
Working with a partner or on their own, the students of Third Grade Audio created “mini-audio collages” inspired by the topic, “We used to Believe…” As they did their sound editing, students took into consideration: clip order, overlapping voices, background music, the use of silence, additional recorded narration or introductions and vocal effects while designing their mini-collages. While some groups started with the same set of audio clips, they produced mini-collages that were quite different from one another in terms of sound, mood, and narrative emphasis. The series could be viewed as “Variations on an Audio Theme.”
These mini-collages represent the most independent production work done by the students of Third Grade Audio posted on prx thus far. They should be considered the primary producers of the pieces, with only minimal additional production (tweaking here and there, adjusting levels) done by David Green.

Review of WUTB-Variation 5A -Quiet, Gentle Version
Aliana and Sophie have captured and produced one minute of joy. It seems strange to hear 3rd graders saying “when I was little” yet this piece brings back memories of being younger and already feeling so old. Every new piece of knowledge, like the fact that not all eggs are hard boiled, and you become older. Transitions are choppy but the background music track makes the piece easy to latch onto and every student’s voice is clear. The repeated clap track at the end is obvious and it serves as a neat reminder of school projects I completed in 3rd grade. The credits are the best part! So kudos to Aliana and Sophie, I recommend this piece for anyone looking to improve their mood and for producers planning a show on childhood, memories, misconceptions, 3rd grade, and growing up.
