Good afternoon, and happy Red Nose Day!
I thought I would update this a little earlier this week as I have the time today.
Starting with Monday (no use doing it in any other order, that would be most confusing!), in First Study I discussed with Mike what songs to do for the final singing assessment in April. Initially he said he wanted us to do different genres but when I spoke to him about my songs we ended up picking 3 musical songs! I don't mind as this is the genre I want to progress in. The songs as it stands are
1. "Don't Tell Mama" from "Cabaret"
2. "Be Italian" from "Nine"
3. "Being Alive" from "Company".
On Monday I also had Creative Industries Infrastructure. I can't say i'm getting much out of the lectures, but the presentations on Blackboard (as ugly as they are) provided me with a list of organisations that I have compiled together as part of my graded unit research. Another box ticked! (self-reliance, IT skills, research skills and commitment).
I feel I am slowly (very slowly) progressing in Music Theory as I have been looking at the study material at home. We have our exam in the next couple of weeks and so I am trying to fit in study time when I can, I only hope that it is enough! I have found a way to remember my key signatures at least! (musical technical knowledge).
I had Lord of the Blings rehearsal in which I was given another part! I am to play both Arwen and Galadriel now :D.
After that I had "Streets" rehearsal, Finn and I went through one of our characters most important scenes together (Jenny Baillie assisting with direction) and we have managed to get an idea of what we want it to look like. Now I just need to make sure I practice my lines as they keep escaping me even though I know them!
I then had "Guys and Dolls" rehearsal (and to be honest I was shattered!) it went well though.
On Wednesday in DAW I got some help creating the drum part for "Hotel Song" by Regina Spektor that I have to recreate using Cubase. I think as long as I get enough help with it it should work out ok.
We had songwriting next, learning about time signatures and how to put them to best use in a song. It's something I will definitely do when it comes to writing my own one for this class.
In band practice we had some good jams (possibly some songs to come out of there) and managed to get up and running with Squeezebox (a definite keeper for the next gig I think!).
Exciting News
- My Facebook page currently has 44 likes!
- This week I have also asked my good friend Mark Walker to do my publicity photos for my press kit, the shoot will be arranged in the next few weeks.
- I have also asked for assistance in creating a website from one of my friends.
Now I am off to start making a template sheet for my testimonials. Lunchtime too I think!
Peace off
