In stylistic awareness , my first goals i set myself to Joe was to be able to explore and try different variety of genres and come out my comfort zone, so that if i had a gig and was asked to sing in a certain style or as close to the original as possible i would be able to today , not only is it an entertaining lesson and really enjoyable it helps me do what I've always wanted to do, but i didn't know where to start.

We explored a range of genres, i enjoyed doing 'Motown' and ' indie/alternative' but i also found ' reggae'  a challenge but also very interesting, and in future i will definitely explore with reggae a lot more . punk was also very different to what i had experienced before , and none of us wanted to go up and sing , but Joe challenged us to all go up together and when we got into the song , we found it was really fun , it was different to what we all experienced before , and it needed a lot more technique to make sure our voices didn't strain.

Although this Thursday 1st December, our challenge was to re-create the Christmas song ' merry Xmas everyone' by Slade , to one of the styles we had studied, and our group choose rock n roll, there was a variety of problems and obstacles, because we were so used to hearing it in the pop way it made things difficult , first of all we changed the chords and changed the way it was sang, we listened to some rock songs to get and idea of how there sung , but it was so difficult to implicate our voice to the genre and we found it extremely difficult , so from this lesson we learned we need to explore each of the styles from class in more detail, to make sure we can do it properly for any song learn the styles in more depth , by the end of the year i hope to achieve this and make sure i can sing in any way and version so next time we get a task similar to this its easier to do.
