Term Review 1 Christmas

T E R M  R E V I E W 1

What are the the musical goals you want to achieve this year?

I want to be able to play along to any song, this includes improving my timing and playing in bars of 4; whilst also being a deliberate drummer.

Are these musical goals new/have they changed from when you first wrote your goals on your blog?

My goals have not changed but the way I will get to my goals have, I am learning new things as well as practicing. I am being more proactive with my learning. I now have a drum kit at home I use everyday which has really sped up my progress.

Do you think you are achieving these goals? What in detail how you think you are/aren't achieving your goals. How do you know?

I am achieving my goals I can see an improvement since the beginning of the year in my consistency.

Is there anything stopping you from achieving these goals?

Nothing is stopping my progress. I think that I need to improve my technique as the way I play some beats it stops me from other things I think the main part in this is the way I hold sticks so I am improving on that and changing my muscle memory each time I play.

What do you need to focus on each lesson to achieve these goals?

I need to focus on the song we are learning at that point in time, listing to the songs to understand what I need to do. I also think I need to play more as when I play I need to warm up before I can play to my maximum capability 

Write five things you need to learn/be taught for you to become the musician you want to become.

1. My timing alone, to music and also with other people.
2. How I hold my sticks.
3. New drum beats. 
4. Being versatile with my playing but also to build confidence in improvisation.
5. Variety of fills.
