Monday the 28th of January 2019

Today didn’t go awfully well, rehearsal still feels like it is going nowhere and we a couple weeks in now, I thought we would be well ahead of the competition but that doesn’t seem to be the case and I think it is my fault for having little to no confidence and or leadership skills purely because I feel incredibly uncomfortable.

After a week plus of not getting anywhere and being not very comfortable I am at a solid breaking point which is great, I will work through it but it will take time and I only want the best for myself and my peers which is becoming a growing concern to my overall moral when I go home and continue to worry…

The only lesson we properly had today was Aural Perception which went I shall attach a link here if you’d like to check out how I have done and what songs Chris exposed us too today!

I am sorry in advance for the lack of detail within my blog posts recently, I can’t go into failure within detail so this is the best I can do, I’ll be sure to work hard and improve the quality of my work with precision and practice…
