Project group blog

Section 1 – My personal targets
Last week I set out to improve on my communication within band and being able to improve on theory skills.
I felt that I achieved improving on ym theory skills, because i now have a better understanding at pentatonic scales and chromatic scales, i also found it hard to learn time signatures at the beginning but then that was resolved as i got more support from it.
I felt that I did not achieve communication within band skills because we hadn't had much practice and i feel as if  Next week i will be able to hopefully achieve that as well as theory skills, and because we have a formative assessment.
Section 2 – Preparing for assessments
(Next week there are formative assessments in Band Skills and Technical Development)In Band Skills I’ll be performing Rolling in the deep by Adele

My strengths in this are the higher parts of the song My weaknesses to work on are lower notes as well as projection and the emotion to the song. To achieve the best results, I need to remember to keep my mouth lose to the mic In Technical Development, I am required to play basic warm up scale for example broken arpeggio My strengths in this are my chromatic scales My weaknesses to work on are breathing skills. To achieve the best results, I need to remember to breath in and out carefully wherever there are breaks and draw breaks on extracts so i have enough room to breathe
Section 3 – Practice updates
This week I have been practicing rolling in the deep ready for my formative assessment Something new thing I learnt this week was how to use my blog.
