Band Rehearsal

in todays rehearsal we was doing a song about the 60s when they wanted peace however it was very hard for them back then, to give a peaceful message no one would really want to hear however not everyone would want to join or hear what others have to say, so why not make a hit song were they have no choice but to hear it if it becomes one of the best, these are clear examples of how music can really change the world for the better.

REHEARSAL

In todays rehearsals we was continuing our song on peace and protesting through songs and music. I found this song very realistic it just takes out all the anger and religion and wars and its really teaching that we as a world should come together as one and just be together.

We started of by having the instrumentalist come in first and keep playing so we could all get in to the mood of the song I felt like it was better done this way so that the can really understand the song and be able to present it through the music.

As we continued to playing and went alone I would come in with the lyrics and start singing I noticed  that the instrumentalist were playing much stronger but not hard but more of an confident vibe towards the song I felt that once everyone knew were to play things were gong where they needed to be.

Pussy Riot

Who are Pussy Riot? They are a Russian Feminist group that protest there opinion on woman rights.

What do they protest about? They protest that woman can be mistreated in comparison to men they do this by making music videos and songs their music genre is Punk Rock. 

What happened on February 21, 2012?

What is a 'guerilla gig'?

What were they protesting about specifically?

What issue do they have with Vladimir Putin?

What happened to them? They faced many situations and even that included physical abuse when theses girls where protesting they were being whipped pushed and shoved about all around the place however at times you do find that their way of there protesting is can be a un plesent sight so see. 

Do you think their protest was offensive? Why? Personaly I do fee like it was to much to bee going in a church to protest as after all that is the place of worship and where people go to build a religous relationship however when doing a protest how else are you meant to be notice if there was just to do it outside it would have been just like any other protest but as much as disresecfall it was to do so in the church it got them attention. 

Do you think their punishment was fair? Why?

Band Rehearsal

In todays rehearsal we was continuing our original piece and noticed we are almost at perfection however there is alway,Always room for improvement and in this lesson it would of had to have been the now that we have cleared everything up in different sections it would be time to run it all the way through with out stoping, this dose not mean to say we will get it in our first try but practice makes perfect.

UNIT 8 Evaluation

  

L2 Music is almost coming to an end and I need to think about what I diced to do next and make the right choices. To get an idea of my options for next year and which ones suited me best i looked at different colleges London. I applied for two colleges ELAM and Westminster Kingsway College to study Music Performance. What I wanted from the colleges were good equipment and musical knowledge in theory. Looking at both the website I could see that they both had these things. I think that this was helpful in supporting me in my progression for next year.

My first choice is to apply for Westminster Kingsway College to study level 3 music performance.

I would like to study level 3 performance for it will teach me the skills of mastering my vocal cords and make my more knowledgeable in the subject. I also want to progress to University after the two years of the course.

Having looked at the pros and cons of other colleges I think Westminster Kingsway College would be the best option because of the support of staff and the use of high-tech equipment.

When I attended the open day for this college I was exposed to Manny instruments, that I will be able to play in due time.

However, I can only progress to level 2 music only happen if my grades (ENGLISH/MATHS) are good enough so I can progress to L3 Music Performance.

However having the grades to get to L3 Music does not mean I should limit myself and just means I should look and apply to other colleges as well as the one I am currently at, so I have now applied to.

BANG REHEARSALS

Today was the first day I finally got with the band after being sick, however I was on the ball and ready to see what they had done, and given that it was just one lesson they said they didn't want to make any major plans so they was only jotting things down on what type of vibe they are looking for in terms of songs.

We all gave are ideas and suggestions and the results of that we ended up thinking if we could come out our comfort zone and do some things we have never done before.

Now we were thinking things more classical or even western so we can also expand and explore or knowledge towards a grate composition.
