I use my music theory knowledge every time I write a song or melodies, I wanted to show some of my feedback from my assessments during this year at college. I started college 4 years ago. I had no or very little knowledge when it came to music theory, now I cant stop using my music theory knowledge when working on songs. it is such a mind blowing experience when I write my songs, it opens up so many possibilities when writing songs, I know what chords work well together, I know how to transpose the key of any song, I understand different rhythms and when best to use them. I also learned that clashing chords can sound good in certain situations. I learned how substituting chords work to create a different melodies.

As a singer songwriter, I think to research and learn about Contract laws in the music business is a really important. I want to know the pros and cons of having a manager or signing to a record label. I want to know, what the percentage of roylties i am entitled to in each country my music will be released in. I want to also know what percentage I will be signing away. I want to know my performers rights are going to be. I want to know before I enter into any contracts that the terms of the agreement are not bad for me, I also have to remember what my worth is and not let management teams, record labels and other artists take my worth for granted. I want to understand how long I will be tied to them even after the term of the contract is over. The above document shows that I have researched this thoroughly and that I have a good understanding on the matter.

As a singer songwriter, I want to know what my rights are when it comes to Copyright Laws. The last thing I would want is , when I release my song I get into trouble over copyrighting issues. Also i want to know my songs are not being infringed upon.

Its also good to know what can be copyrighted and what cant and, for how long copyright lasts

Three versions of my song, Someone like me.

each one a little different. The great thing about writing and performing your own song is, depending on what environment you are playing in, so its important to experiment and perfect your song, but still keep the emotion you want to portray and stay true to the song.

A small clip of me singing, Can you love me.

I added this because, to be a successful singer songwriter, you have to get out your comfort zone, and there is no better way of doing that than standing in the city center singing your own songs, and getting a reaction from strangers who have never heard your songs. It is also a great way to gain followers on social media, which could possibly lead to paid gigs.

I added this picture because, collaborating with other songwriters makes you a better songwriter, they can have ideas that you have not thought about. And when you have finished a song, having someone to give honest productive feedback is the key.

This song is a great example of when you first write and then perform a song, you can always find ways of improving on it. And in this song, I asked Ana to sing some harmonies on it, and I feel it has added another element to what was a good song.

I have added this as evidence of my music theory knowledge and putting in into practice.

As a singer songwriter, I have to be able to communicate my ideas for songs to other musicians and that may involve classical artists so, having the music theory knowledge allows me to, writing a lead sheet with my melody. By doing this, I can give it to the other musicians and they can see what the music is and the melody I want them to play, its an essential skill as a singer songwriter, it saves so much time, and money when hiring out a recording studio. They can see what they are playing and go straight into it.

This is the feedback I received for my music theory assessment, it shows that I have a good understanding of identifying different key signatures and using the Blues structure.

Blues music is in so many genres of music and understanding the structure of the blues helps me when it comes to my own songwriting, It adds one more tool for me to utilise when writing songs, Even the basic I-IV-V-I blues chord progression can add so much to my songs, but now I know where to spice things up, and that can be just by adding in 7th chords and adding in suss chords.

Understanding different key signatures, is an essential skill because, if I listen to a song and i get inspired to write a song because of that song, understanding how to identify the key signature by ear, makes the whole process quicker. And that is what i learned in this part of music theory class.

this is my feedback from my assessment on scales and modes. I learned how to identify by ear the Ionian mode, Dorian mode, Lydian mode, Mixolydian mode, Aeolian mode and the Locrian mode. understanding what these modes are and how each one adds different emotions to a song is essential, understanding what modes to play if I want a sad style sounding song to if I wanted a bright happier sounding song makes writing a song so much easier because, I can sing the melody in my head and know what modes I am using and can pick up my guitar and play the melody easier and quicker. This makes life as a singer songwriter a bit easier when writing songs

I have added my vocal assessment of me singing the song, all I want by Kodaline. To be a good singer songwriter you have to not only write songs people want to listen to, I have to sing my songs with passion and be authentic. That is why I really like my version of all I want. I used different vocal techniques to add flavor to the song.

This is the program note that I wrote for my assessment. It shows that when I am singing songs whether it be my original songs or not, I make a vocal choice and understand what I am doing with my voice and can clearly explain it to other people. and writing a program note when putting on a show of my original songs, I feel adds something interesting to my shows, and when you are starting out as a singer songwriter, doing something different can be a good thing.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my vocal technical assessment. it shows my ability to sing different techniques with my voice. I learned to use techniques such as, Falsetto, Twang, Sob and speech quality. all of these techniques will definitely benefit me as a singer songwriter.
