This morning we started off with a rehearsal with Jason which is always enjoyable for me at least, our singer wasn’t in today because of personal reasons which is completely understandable. This therefore led us on the act like professionals and to use the time given appropriately, Jason came in and helped us come up with lyrics for our original song we got pretty far with that and nearing the end of the session we packed up within preparation for our next class.
Composition was a blast as per usual we worked on another 30-second piece about ‘Happiness’ this time because everyone in my class is always happy 24/7 without a doubt. My piece consisted of a brass section, a couple of basses cause that’s cool and drums, I tend to keep my head down during that session and work at my own special pace which seems to help me and not to worry considerably about it like I did when composing for GCSE as that was a burden.
After composition we had Stylistic Analysis with Jason which is always fun times, yet again I keep my head down and do my work whilst everyone gets on with what they’re doing I tend to ignore others as then I get off a task to which is not great. I finished up my analysis of ‘Mercy’ by Duffy and then proceeded to start my analysis of ‘Treasure’ by Bruno Mars which was fun as I get lost easy trying to think when others are around me so I asked Tom for some help for the next time we have the class with Jason for some of his notes to give me a hand.
When that lesson had finished we had lunch which went alright then we had rehearsal. We went through our set as per usual to the best of our abilities and talked about the original a bit, but it’s difficult to do, our singer was in but she didn’t feel like singing which is completely understandable. so we went through the set and now there are some worries with doing ‘Sex On Fire’ which is excellent so we left it like that to pick up on tomorrow.
Then we had a tutorial with Chris which is always special fun times, we went through our pro-portal thing and set our goals and what we are striving for, etc which is always nice to keep in mind, after tutor had finished I asked Jason if he could come and check my work so far which he agreed to do yet again which is very kind of him, then after that it was home time which is the best time.
