Session Skills

Today we created a jingle. Our bassist Danny had written a bass line. I was off the week before so I created an annoying guitar part, jingleish. Our other guitarist Craig then created another part which worked off the bass line. We recorded it which went well. Danny Craig and I then laid down a barber shop style harmony over the top at the end pronouncing 'Perth UHI.' It was either that 'Dundee.' We then got the file from the engineer.

Music Theory

I failed the test. It was a very bad day for me and I shall pass the re sit easily enough. I shall however revise and be ready for it after the holidays.

Graded Unit

We had meetings with Andrew. I showed him my plan and blog which was fine. He had some good suggestions. Though I have been writing my blog wrong. Its ironic i'm writing that in the blog. That is wrong.

However, I have a made good progress on my Graded Unit and am creating the pop section soon. I am working off my plan which is a great aid. I have written perhaps 1500 words so far. I am still to collect all my evidence from college and am going in on Monday and Tuesday.

1st Study

Steve was off. Again. Scott, Danny and I just worked through on 'All the things you are' and some of the other tunes. I didn't get any further with them. I shall make more progress on them at home.

DAW

I managed to delete my whole orchestration and save it so I had to re do that. It took most of the class up but I did make the parts better so it was a time consuming necessary thing.

Band

Aidan and I worked through our tunes. We made great progress and have 2 songs finished. We are going to work on a song of mine next and one of Aidans. We look forward to the gig and feel that we should be ready for it.
