For the whole of Monday morning we discussed the different types of jobs in the music industry. This includes amateur, pro, and semi-pro. With this knowledge we then discovered  how to create better revenue, bigger opportunities and more chance of us becoming a semi-pro or pro. In the afternoon we were asked to record the structures and bars per section for the songs we listened to at home ( see ‘song structures’ ) on logic.

On Tuesday we worked on our websites and updating them with recently completed coursework ( you can see this under my portfolio menu at the top of the page). in this lesson i managed to complete a couple of blogs by linking some videos from my YouTube channel onto the page, allowing viewers to check out some of the work me and some other classmates have been creating. After our tutorial lesson on radicalisation and how to spot it, we proceeded to get together in our bands and practice a few acoustic covers of song which we will be performing in two weeks. my group decided to cover Dakota by Stereophonics, You Know I’m No Good by Amy Winehouse and an original song that we are currently developing- it has a sort of funk vibe to it.

lastly, on Wednesday morning we recapped what we did last Wednesday about the circle of fifths, dominant and major 7ths and scales. as a group we are finally starting to understand how it all works and how we can use this knowledge to help us to create chord progressions in any given key.
