Skills Summary
The skills I have that im proud of are being dedicated , being able to quickly adapt to what is needed from me. Im efficient with my time and like to do stuff in the most efficient way I can. Ill help anyone who needs the help and always strive to do my best in any setting.
Teamwork is a big skill I use a lot as when im rehearsing with sometimes people ive never even talked to before we have to work together to create the best performance we can, this also comes with being able to give and receive feedback from eachover
Communication is really important for me to have as I have to perform with others as well as present ideas and discussing them with other members as well as the feedback I receive back too.
Time management I have had to use this skill a lot as I have to balance college band rehearsals , my assignments , my individual practice and the band stuff im doing outside of college.
Problem solving
Reliability
Education
I went to tong high school , and now in bradford college my first year was on IT and my 2nd and 3rd year have been on music.
Experience
During my time on the music course at Bradford college I have had to play in like 6 bands so far, rather covering songs or creating our own music to perform to crowds at venues and on the college stage. While playing in these bands you have to do a lot of planning, rehearsing , being reliable and making sure the finish product is as good as you can get it. I have been playing drums for about 2 years now and enjoy playing with other musicians working together to get ready for performances. I’m currently working on writing songs with people for a new band that were going to start playing gigs this year.
Another big part of being on this music course is at home practice as they want you to improve the quickest you can and become a better musician, when im at home I normally play drums for hours to improve my skills and learn/create songs. If im not at home I will practice in others way for example with a practice pad and metronome.
I have had to learn a lot of specialist equipment and software such as music software (Ableton, logic) and equipment like sound desks, microphones and everything to do with drums.
Importance of a cv
It is important to have a cv because it is a primary marketing tool to secure job interviews by summarising your skills experience and education , it helps employers quickly assess if you’re suitable for the role.
It is also there first impression of you so its important that your cv looks good and is professional, a good cv would be tailored specifically to you and the job you want. A professional cv could also show your attention to detail and readiness for the role.
A well crafted cv demonstrates to hires that you take your craft seriously and posses necessary professional traits like reliability. Even as a musician it is still important to have a cv , while a demo recording proves your skills a cv provides the context such as education and other back ground information that a recording can not.
