Nothing too exciting happened today, so in rehearsal we played through the song we have already a few times then proceeded to wait for our instrumental lessons, purely because we were still overwhelmed from our performance yesterday which went very well considering I was hoping someone would turn up but they got stuck at work which dug at me but I completely understood and went and performed to the best of my ability pretending that he was there.
Whilst waiting for my instrumental lesson, I talked to some of the second year students, they seem alright and a good laugh, I tend to be shy and intimidated by new people but it was all fine surprisingly
In my Guitar lesson we went over a few scales such as the Major Pentatonic and the Blues scale, in the different positions and establishing what goes where and what notes to play them from, etc. That’s always fun because scales are the gateway to improvisation and creating new melodies for songs!
Also, within the afternoon I had Music Theory with Chris, we went over common time signatures which is always refreshing after being neck deep within Grade 3 theory but it’s helpful for the rest of the class for some basic theory knowledge so I get why Chris needs to go over everything in detail. Whilst he does this I work on my theory and take occasional notes on things that are said that I may have forgotten previously.
