Our first day back went fairly smooth considering we’ve just had a week off and the rest.
The first lesson of the day was Music Business and in today’s lesson we went peer assessed and critiqued each other’s blog, but before that we went through and discussed our album reviews of Carole King’s ‘Tapestry’.
I enjoyed reading through my friend Tom’s review as it was funny but also truthful and insightful, which made my day that little bit better. Whilst going through each other’s blogs, to help Tom out I wrote down what he needs to improve and how to do it, if he needs a little help making it look better and improving his work I’d be more than happy to help!
Chris told us that tomorrow Ofsted are coming in and that we have to be on our best behaviour because they’re specifically checking out our department as Chris keeps going on about how great we are which I do not blame him for, so I am therefore looking forward to that.
After this lesson we had rehearsal, during this time we went through our set list for the Christmas concert, which went smooth considering we haven’t touched upon them in a week or so. The songs we had a bit of trouble was ‘Mercy’ by Duffy and ‘Treasure’ by Bruno Mars, we aren’t to sure how to play out the breakdowns but we can finish the songs properly so on Tuesday we are definitely going to work on that.
So when I get home I’ll take notes down for my rehearsal diary at the end of the week, and I will go over our songs a handful of times so I am able to improve a lot quicker than the others.
