college over the past while has bin up and down.
In Session Skill we have how bin divided up in to bands and each week we are given a piece of music to learn and preform at the end of the day. This class is proving to be very beneficial in teaching what is expected of a musician when he/she steps into a Session. It has highlighted a lot of my weaknesses in reading so I now know exactly what I really need to work on.
In Creative project we now have a new lecturer called Andrew, I have found this a breath of fresh air to a class that was beginning to get a bit stale. Andrew is giving us alot of good usfull feed back and i can already hear the improvement. In Graded Unit we also got a fantastic talk from Lorenze Cairns about being a West End an Session performer, i found this talk Inspiring and has pushed me to become a more confident person. He spoke about Key skills such as communication skill and the will to succeed :)
On a down side i found out that i Failed my Theory Exam so I have to re-sit it later this year :( I am totally gutted about this as i really tried! so that has kinda knocked me back a bit but if I learnt anything from Lorenzes talk its never to give up! so I have sort myself out with a theory tutor......i WILL pass next time!!!!!!!!
Also in Eat Dr. Ape news we have an exciting announcement to make!!! We have been selected out of all the Universities in the UK that teach Popular music to be on of the 7 preform at the final of the Musicians Benevolent Fund Songwriter of the Year award in London!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!! :)
We also have 3 gigs next week and at least 1 a week till xmas so we'r busy busy busy.
anyway iv ranted on way too much now!
Speek soon
JP :)
