The year has now been split into two groups and I was in at 9.a.m. We were given new music to work through. We got through three quarters of the song successfully so we were all quite pleased. We shall be working through the same tune next week until it is ready to record.
Music Theory
Now into our new semester we began our new class in Music Theory. Marlisa takes the class and she going through last years work to clarify that we were Ok on everything. She began the class with time signatures which I'm glad she did. I am a bit patchy on them and she has cleared everything up for me. We are going to be having homework every week from her.
Graded Unit
This class was not on.
1st Study
Steve worked asked us to pair up, in my case I joined two other guys. We worked through 'All the things you are.' I was developing new parts and re-harmonizing sections. I was happy how it went though a lot of work is going to be needed to become tight. I had an essay deadline which I hadn't managed to finish so sadly I missed Cameron's class. I spoke to him and he was fine about this. I had a conversation about composition which was great and he gave me a book in Composition to look over. It has some of my favourite artists talking about their work. Pat Metheny was great to read.
DAW
The class was cancelled.
Band work
Band work didn't go as planned. Laura was off and we didn't have our bassist. We worked through what we knew and a bit on The Black keys song. We will be ready for the show but we are going to have to arrange some out of class practices to get to the point of being able to perform. We have chosen our 7 songs and are learning them all for next week.
It was a good week though more could have been accomplished. The cancellation of DAW wasn't so great as I needed to get work done. However I did have plenty of time to finish my essay. I am going to be more organized for next week and really work towards having 7 pieces finished in band to a performance standard.
