What can I say, today went slightly better than I was expecting. We have changed our style from Jazz to Funk which suits us better as a band, the only drive behind doing Jazz was that our lead singer wanted to try something new, but personally I don’t think she is up to it.
My band chose three songs to take a look at, ‘Redbone’, ‘Crazy’ and ‘Come Together’, I didn’t chose a song because I can’t see this brief going anywhere as like I said not everyone is capable do put in the sheer amount of work.
But to keep myself engaged for the rest of the day and rehearsal I decided that we play ‘Come Together’ as it is an enjoyable song and an age old classic. What we have came up with is very raw but has potential which we will expand upon at the end of the day before tutor.
I forgot to mention that Jason was ill today and that Chris was late in because he had to take his son for an emergency appointment to have his braces taken off which added to the ever growing productivity within our year group!
When Chris eventually made it in we went over the characteristics of different styles like Rock, Classical and Funk. So all the basic stuff that should have been taught in GCSE music and or picked up over time if you play an instrument.
Then it was lunch time, the best time, today I had a Carbonara which was bloody brilliant they have really out done themselves this time as I was buzzing for the rest off the day.
We went through ‘Come Together’ which is pretty tight now I got to say, so we made the group decision to summon Christopher to have a listen and he enjoyed it so that was the highlight of my day as we actually did something right.
Tutor was fun, we went through the matrix for the fourth time and spoke on how our work is going to be marked next week which is the most enjoyable time of our lives.
