Hamlet Final Project- Spotify Directions

Hello!

If you chose option 1 for your Hamlet final project, the soundtrack, and you don’t have the ability to burn a cd, you can totally make a FREE playlist of your soundtrack over at Spotify.com! YAY technology!

Here are the steps to follow + if you’re struggling, you can come in for help, or google a youtube video for additional instructions. If you’re familiar with itunes, Spotify functions very similarly.

 

STEP ONE:

Sign up for an account: https://www.spotify.com/us/

There are two options: sign up with Facebook or an email address

 

Step Two:

Create a playlist

On the left bar select the “New Playlist” button, give it a title.

 <– look “New Playlist”

Step THREE:

Search for music you want to add to your playlist. When you find a song you like, click on it so it’s highlight, click & hold down while you drag it to and drop it on top of your playlist name. Your song is now in the playlist.

 

STEP FOUR:

Click your playlist name to go to your playlist. Order your songs how you like them.

 

STEP FIVE:

This will sound counter-intuitive. Instead of clicking on the pretty “share button” while you’re on your selected playlist, to share your playlist, you actually want to right click (control-click if you’re on a Mac) the playlist name in the left column & select “copy HTTP” when it appears in the menu. Paste this link into an email to MS. Wright or MS. Camero, email it before class starts on 05/20, and you’re all set.

 

OPTION 1 DIRECTIONS:

Option 1: Create a CD of songs that could be played from the start of the play to the end and reflect Hamlet’s feelings, tone, mood, struggles, successes, as the story evolves. The songs should tell the story.  You need to include at least 8 songs, and are to create a CD case/jacket that indicates which songs are on the CD.  It should have a title as well as attractive and relevant artwork.  You must write a 1-2 page reflection, in this you should have a minimum of 1 paragraph for each song on your playlist explaining the song choices and what they each represent. (Consider song lyrics/tone/mood and how and why each song relates to Hamlet.)
