A collection of photos has been assembled to illustrate The Life Cycle of Music Production. This collection features Creative Commons (CC) licensed and public domain photos paired with an H5P tool. The collected photos depict the various stages involved in producing music. The H5P tool enhances visual representation, interactivity, and knowledge assessment. 

The life cycle starts with the initial phases of writing lyrics and composing music, followed by recording in the studio. It continues through the mixing and mastering processes and culminates in the final stages, which include the album release and live performances.

Instructions for the Life Cycle of Music Production – Photo Sequence Quiz

Welcome to the Life Cycle of Music Production photo sequence quiz! Your task is to correctly identify and arrange the photos that depict the stages involved in producing music, from conception to its public debut.

Follow these steps:

1. Start the Activity: Once the photo sequence activity begins, you will see a set of photos that represent different stages in the process. These photos are out of order.
2. Review the Stages: The stages you need to arrange are as follows:
   • Recording in a studio
   • Live performances
   • Album release
   • Mixing & mastering
   • Composing music
3. Rearrange the photos: Click and drag each photo to its correct position in the sequence (moving from top left to bottom right). Begin by placing the photo that represents the first stage in the first position (top right). Continue arranging the photos in the correct order.
4. Check Your Progress: Once you think the photos are in the right order, review the sequence to ensure the flow makes sense. Each stage should lead to the next in the typical process of creating and releasing music.
5. Submit Your Answer: When you’re confident that the photos are correctly ordered, submit your sequence for review.
