So these past couple weeks have been going well graded unit wise. I've filmed and uploaded to youtube and added videos to my graded unit iWeb page and it's actually looking really good. Still got a lot to do though but it's coming together nicely!
Drumwise, Ronnie said i'm doing really well and progressing a lot and should be almost 100% on at least 3 of my 4 pieces by the time i need to play them for assessment. I'm still practising where i can and working on my double strokes and finger work. I'm getting a lot quicker as i watch all the videos i've filmed through the month.
Just one session left to do in session skills and i'll hand in my 3 short evaluations to Gav once they're done. Then i'll focus most of my time in creating my power point for my interview and finishing off my iWeb page.
Oh yeah, and i got an A in my theory exam! Awesome!!

you can see a million miles tonight
Uploaded 2 videos onto my recently made YouTube page to then copy onto my iWeb page for graded unit and i will be videoing a lot more of myself doing warm ups, sight-reading and session work. Right now on my web page i've made a page for everything that's needed from the job spec and all i have to do is fill everything in on its respective page.
Started practising with Amy Rayner since she asked me to drum for her band this easter. So far we've got 4 songs down and i hope to learn more. i'm wanting to involve this with my graded unit because it shows how easy i am when working with others and adapting to a genre that i would normally not listen to. I think it's going well and the rest of the band seem happy with what we've come up with. All we need now are the dates of when we'll be playing live for people.
As for my band outside of college 'The Amazing Everyday', i had to step up yet again and sort everyone out since Nick didn't quite like the direction and sound we were making as a band so i decided to talk to him and find out what he wants and luckily we managed to arrange another practice and wrote one new song that is quite different to what we wrote before but none the less, everyone seemed to like the stuff so fingers crossed it goes well from here and we get to gigging sometime soon.
For next week, i'll let you all know how well the gig went with my band work band at Fat Sam's and hopefully will come up with some pictures and/or videos so i'll be able to have some sort of evidence for this blog and my graded unit web page. But that's next week....
