Presentation ideas:
- What is my project? Details
I want to form a band. Our genre is going to be mainly rock, most of the songs written around 2000’s. I will contribute by playing the guitar and bass for some of the songs. I am planning to play a live gig in front of the audience.
- Aim(s) (what) and Objectives (How) I want to improve my guitar technique and overall musicianship. A key goal is to feel confident performing live without making mistakes during the show.
- Target Audience The target audience is mainly people aged 18 to 35 who like rock and grunge music. But older fans from the ’80s and ’90s might also enjoy it, especially with a band like Green Day that can bring some nostalgia. Some of them might even get into the mosh pit!
- Research – What am I going to research and how? Books, journals, online, documentaries/video, etc. I’ll be learning the guitar tabs for the songs we’re performing, especially Green Day ones, to make sure I’m playing them correctly. I’ll also be watching live videos of Arctic Monkeys and Green Day to see how they perform and interact on stage, so I can learn from them.
- Planning – include a schedule, e.g. rehearsal planning, meetings, resources I’ll be playing both guitar and bass depending on what the band needs. Kieran is also on guitar, Lewis is on drums, and Sukhbir is on bass. We’ve started rehearsing weekly and we’re organizing what songs each person is playing on.
- Practical Skills – what practical skills will you need? I need to use different guitar techniques like strumming, alternate picking, and hybrid picking—especially for my solo. I also need to work on my scales, like G major and the blues scale, to help with improvisation and soloing.
- Presentation – how will you present your final product/project? How will you document your work? Our final gig will be recorded on video. I’ll reflect on the performance by watching it back and writing an evaluation. I’m also taking notes during rehearsals and tracking my progress so I can include that in my evaluation.
- Evaluation and Reflection – how and when will you do this? What models will you use? After the performance, I’ll watch the video and think about what went well and what didn’t. I’ll write about my strengths and areas I need to improve, both individually and as a band member.
