Out of all the songs this one is the hardest one for me to sing as it’s quite a fast song and my voice has to be able to project over the backing music. I was nervous about performing this song at first but with practice I feel ready and confident enough to do it. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087472 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087473 Somebody else- the 1975 

For this song I will be singing. I feel confident performing this song as it’s nkt too hard to sing. I find it easier singing to live music rather than backing tracks. The only difficult thing about this song was the harmonies as I wasn’t sure where to harmonise. I wanted to harmonise as the song is quite repetitive and I wanted to make it sound more interesting. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087473 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087474 You don’t see by Isha and Alisha 

For this song I play guitar and harmonise on the vocals. This song is easy for me to play but it’s doffetent from what I usually play as it’s not just simple chords but quite a difficult picking pattern. I have to consontrate  when I’m doing the picking pattern but when I’m strumming that’s when I join in with the vocal harmonies as it’s easier for me. It took me a while to master the picking pattern but I can now play it without hesitation. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087474 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087476 On stage we need two microphones with two XLR cables, an acoustic guitar amp or DI box and a jack cable. 

We need microphones as we’re both going to be singing. We also need a DI box so the guitar is the same sound level as our voices.

We’re playing ‘garden’ first as that’s the only song with a backing track. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087478 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087479 Our set list is:

1. Garden by Dua lipa- we are performing this song with a backing track. I start the song off by singing the first verse and then alisha sings the second verse. We then both sing the chorus together  and then take turns singing the bridge. 
2. Somebody else by the 1975- alisha plays guitar for this song and we both sing to it. I start the song off by singing the first verse and then we both sing the chorus then alisha sings the second verse. 
3- you don’t see by Isha and Alisha- our last song is a song we wrote together. I play the acoustic guitar and alisha sings. I also join in with the harmonies throughout the song. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087479 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087480 We decided to just stay casual and wear something that represents us as individuals. We didn’t really coordinate our outfits as that’s not how we wanted to go on stage. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087480 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087481 In the planning process I was event manager along with Deborah, patrick and Alisha. As event manager it was our job to make sure we knew what everyone else was doing and how long the event was going to be. I contributed by asking the musical director team about their set lists and how long their songs are. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087481 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087482 What did you rehearse?
alisha and i rehearsed our original song that we wrote in a previous lesson.  
How did it go?
it went well as we already remembered the structure of the song and just needed to write a bridge.
What do you need to do next week?
next week we need to go through our original song and pick 2 other songs we want to perform. 
Are you improving?
I think we are improving as we've added more lyrics to our song and added new chords and melodies]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087482 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087483 What did you rehearse?
Alisha and I rehearsed our original song 'you don't see'. We also  started to think about other songs we wanted to perform together and decided to find a cover of a song we both felt comfortable with.
How did it go?
It went well although it was difficult to think of a song we both wanted to perform together and we still haven't decided. 
What do you need to do next week?
start thinking about what other songs we want to perform together.
Are you improving?
yes. We are doing well with our original song and i know how to play it without looking at the chord sequence. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087483 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087484 What did you rehearse?
We went through our own song 'you don't see' again and practiced through that a couple of times and then we decided to do a cover of the song 'garden' by Dua Lipa.
How did it go?
We went through the song with a backing track and sang it together.
What do you need to do next week?
we need to go through the song again and decide who will sing which bit.
Are you improving?
yes we are as we've already decided on another song. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087484 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087485 What did you rehearse?
We focused more on 'garden' this week as we haven't really performed it together.
How did it go?
it went okay. we still need to learn the lyrics but we've decided whose singing which part. 
What do you need to do next week?
we're going to try and practice garden without the lyrics and start to think of another song to perform.
Are you improving?
we are slowly improving. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087485 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087486 What did you rehearse?
we chose our final song and decided to do 'somebody else' by the 1975.
How did it go? it went well. We made the song our own by playing it acoustically and singing different parts.
What do you need to do next week? we need to perfect out songs and make sure we can perform them confidently.
Are you improving? yes as we now have a full set list. ]]> 2018-06-07 11:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087486 ikgidda https://padlet.com/ikgidda/hmzr545vow12/wish/266087487 What did you rehearse? we rehearsed our set list.
