Week 1
My band was given “somebody I use to know “ by Gotye we had about 2 hours altogether to rehearse as a band . There was Adam as our drummer , Ben as our guitarist, Issac as our bass and Gabriel as our pianist and me and Tom as vocalist .
what I did well was keep my pitch at certain point but I could of kept that going because I lost in throughout the performance but I had bad nerves at the begging and then confidence peeked abit , but I could also work on the power of my voice however I am going to work on my voice and my tone and will focus on being more confident because then I would communicate with the band more and dynamics would help a lot more , me and Tom could work on the harmonise a lot more , it would make it a lot better and sound great.
Week 2
This week we working on learning a new song called Kids by MGMT.
What I need to do is , communicate with Tom my singing partner so then we can work on our harmonise and make sure we are in time with the band members . I also need to work on my confidence which will help my voice be more prominent and powerful.
As a band we need to work on our timing and not to forget the cords or when to start singing . If we make a mistake we need to carry on and not make it obvious and to be able to not make mistakes if possible . In our first song “somebody I use to know” we made a mistake but carried on and not made it obvious and the same with our second song “kids” we carry on if any mistakes are made . We also need to work together as a band whilst we perform but when we practice we work really well together .
Tom is my singing partner and he need to work on his confidence and power in his voice and he also learned how to play piano .
Ben I’d out guitarist and he need to remember his chords and to work on his bar chords then there’s our bassist Isaac he needs to work on his muscle memory and accuracy, then there’s Adam he is our drummer all he need to forces on is his timing but over all , they are all amazing. nut for this rehearsal we didn’t film ourselves. we was focused on getting the song right.
Week 3
This week we was learning to both songs together and sing them back to back.
what I did well was I’ve improved on my confidence on my singing and the piano which i learnt in under a week and communicated with tom my singing partner. In the video which I will put at the end , you can tell I’m more confident and my voice sounds a lot , more clearly and it helped that the band pushed me and made me believe I could do it. what i need to improve on is working on my voice with more control and be a little bit more confident on the piano and just with it instead of rushing it .
what my singing partner Tom did well was he had confidence in himself so it improved his voice he also worked on going an octave higher and he worked on it until he got it and was able to do it. He was also able to play piano he learnt it in the same period time as me he learnt it and id say the only the thing he needs to work on is having a little more of control and be more proud of what he has learnt.
Now our guitarist ben he has learnt his chords and learnt how to play his bar chords , id just say he just need to start standing up in performances, our bassist Isaac he has worked on his muscle memory and actuary he just needs to keep up with timing and forces on playing instead of worrying if he messes up. The drummer Adam has worked on his timing and he able to keep everyone in timing.
As a band i would say we have all worked on communicating throughout the performances and kept in timing with each other and with any mistakes we make we push through and carry on with confidence.
