Another blog, showing my goals and aspirations throughout is about band skills

in week 4, formative assessment for band skills was to  singing rolling in the deep, as it was my first week i was so prepared and having noticed i had already messed up my first formative assessment in technical development i wanted to improve in band skills, so i prepared every night for 30 mins to make sure everything was good i also sang it with a metronome to keep in time, and i was prepared, but because it was only the 4th week of knowing everyone and that i wasn't used to the new environment i was extremely terrified of performing even though i had put more preparation into it and had nothing to worry about i was still sketchy about going up and i wasn't ready when she called my name , my nerves build up till the point i was shaking and trying any way to take my mind of it, when i started singing i wasn't thinking about anything else apart from making sure i remembered my lyrics, which distracted my performance side of the task, had i had been less nervous i would of been able to put in some dance moves and performance in as well as ambition towards the song, when i got my results it wasn't bad i passed but i wasn't going to rest my case until i got more than a pass i wanted to push myself further.

Further to that day , i attended a workshop which was evolving around the nervousness of performance and how to improve that, and be more confident with who i was. When i went to it, i found it really useful, it helped me get more experience on stage as well as do some exercises to release tension, and it really worked.

Then furthermore , i had a tutorial with Sarah which didn't only help me with my lower notes but she was really helpful for my confidence booster, i told her about my past experience and how it was hard to believe a comment from someone about my singing ever since, and its hard to come to terms with performing because of it, as well as being able to believe in who i am , i'm myself and being confident with my singing , so she gave me a challenge, which was to say thank you to people comments they appreciate me instead of ' no i'm not', as well as get up and perform more at places.

Recently , i received a gig through ACM, at music gateway , which should also be able to boost my performance confidence , and stage fright, as well as show who i am as a person and be able to feel comfortable on stage.

Band skills goals and aspirations- 

From week 4, till now i was not able to move around on stage and feel indulged by the stage, but practicing over the weeks of ACM, and getting used to my surrounding, made it more approachable, i'm still not where i want to be but by the end of the year , i'm hoping to receive tiny gigs and do some busking to get more confident
