March 15th - Song Writing!

At the beginning of the lesson, we had a little time to rehearse our pieces and get them ready to show the class.

The first group was Tom, Seb& Francesca's and their groups T.I.E piece is going to be about 'Children in Divorce'. I loved Francesca's cornet in the beginning of the piece, because no-one had an instrument that sounded like that. I think she should have played a little more in it because it really did set a good mood in the piece. The song had the right kind of mood, and I think it was really well made.

 

 

The next group was Frankie, Abi, Olly and Jacks and their issue is Gender Equality. Their topic isn't as 'negative' as everyone elses groups, so looked forward to theirs. I love how it was more like a pop song, with rapping, drums and guitar. The only problem was that the lyrics weren't very loud and the instruments over powered them. What I did hear of the lyrics were well written though. I loved it, it was a nice change from the other issues.

 

 

Next it was our groups turn. Imogen was the only one who sung and played, mainly because no-one else had such a skill like Imogen does. Also, we only chose a guitar because we think the piano ruined the feel of the song and we wanted it to be as though it's a story she's put into a song and played on her own.
Our feedback;
The group thought that Imogens diction needed to improve so the lyrics could be heard and that would be a problem because the lyrics that could be heard were powerful. Also, the song ended very quickly and that would improve the song a little better if it were closed better.
