Week | Activity / What you are intending to do – including independent study | Resources / What you will need to do it – including access to workshops | |
1 | Advertise for a singer that is reliable and committed to forming an acoustic duo on my Facebook profile through music scene groups or singers wanted groups. | The only thing I will need to doing this is my phone with I can also message people that I already know and I also know a singing tutor. | |
2 | this week will be a contingency time to still find my singer because I know that singers are quite hard to find, meanwhile I can start making a list of song ideas and checking that I have got all of the correct equipment available. | For this week I would need my phone to network and to listen to songs and make z playlist of catchy ones that most people know. | |
3 | By this week hopefully I will be auditioning singers and making a final decision on what singer I choose for the duo. | For this I will need my acoustic guitar, some sheet music and a capo and tuner so I can play any song that the singer chooses that will suit there voice. | |
4 | By now me and the singer should be focused on learning as much cover material as possible for the next few weeks and I will then go and let my bass tutor know so we can play a few songs at his open mic to see how everything goes. | For this I will need my phone to network and look up songs and I will also need my acoustic guitar and all of the other equipment like tuner, capo and picks. | |
5 | After we’ve played the open mic I will then contact places that I have played before and see if we can get a paid gig for £200 in this week we will be rehearsing as much as possible and I will do a mock setup of the gig with my PA. | For this I will need all of the equipment to run the gig such as, Yamaha stage pass, mic, mic stand, leads, guitar, and music stands. | |
6 | This week will just be a contingency week to help make sure that we have enough time to get sorted out for the gig. | Mainly I will need my acoustic for this one and an electronic device. | |
7 | more song rehearsal time hopefully we will be able to rehearse at least 3/4 times a week depending on both of our schedules I will also get some more gigs booked for the future. | For this week I will need my acoustic as normal and a phone so I can message around on my Facebook account. | |
8 | Hopefully the paid gig will be booked by now and be around this time when the college showcase is so by now we should almost have around 21 songs completed for enough material for two 45 min sets. Then we will play the gig and then the main brunt of my project is complete. | This week I will need all of the equipment which I will make a separate digital space page for because I am playing the paid gig. | |
9 | play at the college showcase And evaluate my paid gig through my digital space online portfolio | For this I will need my acoustic guitar and a computer to do work on. |
