My research for this project was completely relevant.
I researched ways on how to improve playing bass, how to hold a bass, how to play bass with my index, middle finger and ring finger. I also did research on how to eliminate stage fright and how to have a good stage presence whilst on stage.
All of this research connects to my project and helped me a lot. It gave me better understanding of my instrument and also gave me a bigger vision of what being a performer really is like. For instance I now understand that being a performer is also being a entertainer.
I would 100% want to become a performer as a career I would love to perform and earn money off of it and this project made me love it even more. From the beginning to end I enjoyed all of it the rehearsals, the research, and most or the performing!
I would want to play bass or guitar or even a singer if I was able to earn money of off performing. I would improve my skills on instruments by constantly pushing myself learning new pieces and techniques and scales and then apply all of this onto the stage. I would make myself practice at least 30 minutes to 1 hour on 1 chosen instrument a day.
One thing that I wish I did for this project was experiment more with the songs on our set. For example I would like to add a completely different bass line to a song we have to cover I would make it different but similar. In other words I would like to add a bit of myself to the music instead of playing it the exact same way the original musicians have played it.
I would also want to add more visuals on stage whilst performing by placing some type of screen behind the stage and showcasing visual of the music whether it would he pictures colors or shapes, I would just want to add more visuals and emersion for the crowd to make it twice as entertaining and enjoyable.
And I wished to have also played bass for 2 songs and guitar for 1 song I wanted to play guitar for our first song (Where Is My Mind) as I wanted to create my own solo for it and add new notes and chords to the song aswell.
In conclusion I loved completing this project and wish to do another project similar to this one I have already spoken about some ideas that I wish I could do in the paragraphs above but I still have many more.
I would want to have an aesthetic for whichever band I play with next for example I would like the band to have outfits of the same colour or we could all have the same outfits but we would create arm bands of our logo and place them on our arms whilst performing.
maybe working with some fashion designers in college aswell to create a unique and rememberable outfit. Creating our own outfits would also add much more originality to the band.
I would also like to try and create an original song with a band and see how well that would go even if we fail or it doesn’t end the way we wanted it to failure is the first step to improving and winning.
I loved this project and I am looking forward to the next one.
