This week we are officially on our easter break!!! Last week before we broke up, we sat our Music Theory exam on the monday and the results were up on tuesday! I unfortunitly did not pass the exam, but only failed in one section: scale construction, i was quite surprised by this, so sat down with my lecturer to go through my paper, he said i was fine on everything, just a few wee mistakes when constructing a few scales. It was mainly just a few missing accidentals, but the scales were fine. I was quite surprised as that was probably the area i was most confident in, and when we went over the particular questions i was really annoyed with myself as could see where i got easily confused, and because the pass mark for this exam is so high, i just didnt quite pass. So therefore my targets for the easter hols, are to continue studying my scales, going over and over each one, i do know them by heart but just need to remember the rules and stick to either major or minor this time, instead of intertwining both! lol.
More targets for the easter break: Plan and begin my 2 research topics for Graded Unit, and hopefully start writing them and getting them done a.s.a.p. I have chosen for one to discuss the different types of stagecraft artists have, and for this i'd like to pick to completely contrasting artists such as Chrissie Hynde and Madonna, totally different types of performers, and have completely seperate ideas on entertaining their fans.
I am also going to learn all my songs for my upcoming honors punk gig in May! And also get to work on my 50's summer concert songs as well! With the help of Bob Holis, my fellow music student who is helping me with my original songs, after the easter break, the focus will be to finish my songs and get them recorded, just as a first demo for my portfolio! So i am trying to get everything else done in the easter so, that i can mainly focus on my original and cover album when we come back to college.
Other news for the easter, my little brother is coming up to visit me from London ( first time since September!) So i am very excited about that, getting to show him my new life, an letting him into my world for a week. Haha. We are now off from theatre for easter as well, so can totally focus on catching up on my work, learning my songs off by heart, going to the gym as often as i can! Haha and working also.
Next week Hannah Shovlin and i, hopefully have a photoshoot in Glasgow to attend and get photos done for our artist imagery, we have approx an hour in the studio, so better bring our instruments and be as productive as we can in that hour! Thanks to my room mate, who knows the photographer and has set us up for this exciting opportunity!
So those are my plans, lots of work, but i enjoy it! Cant wait to start my research tasks as i shall love choosing the artists that interest me, and learning from the essays i have set myself! As the weather is so beautiful at the moment, i am inspired to work outside and enjoy the sunshine whilst being productive! Haha.
Happy Easter Everyone! :D x
