I don't really know what i've learned this week...... It's been a while since my last blog and apologies for that but i'm going to start doing it more often. And to help with that i've decided to have my blog as my home page whenever i go on the internet.
So with relevance to my job spec. i was asked to fill in for a drummer last wednesday in session skills to help the band record 'what becomes of a broken hearted' since they were drummer-less. Since i had already recorded the song with another band, it was still quite a challenge since i hadn't played it in a month, but it went well and we recorded the song 3 times and picked our best. I feel that it was partially sight reading since i had to refer back to the music a fair bit when playing and probably helped my ability to read music and play on demand and under pressure. However, because of this, i have grown to hate that song with a passion and i'm so glad it's over now and the class are focusing on other projects.
I managed to fulfil my new years resolution already by finally having a band practice with the band i'm setting up outside of college. It took me ages but we've finally found a day in the week where all of us are free to practice for a good 2-3 hours. Now on my to-do-list is to get a practice in one of the practice rooms in the college instead of acoustically in my flat. The tricky part is finding a day where we're all free again and the practice rooms happen to be empty!! Fingers crossed!!
I think that's all for this week..... If i think of anything else i'll probably put it in the next blog. But that's for another week.
