For me music has
not always been a main subject of mine. In the past I studied music at high
school and also primary school but at a very basic level.
During primary school I was part of an orchestra in year 6. This gave me the chance to learn an instrument that I was really interested in. Obviously with the flute being the most popular instrument I was given the clarinet. I did enjoy the clarinet but I was never fascinated by it. I have also learned to play the violin when I was younger but once again at a very young level.
As I got into high school I studied music for two years and decided not to take it as a GCSE. during the two years I learnt simple stuff on the keyboard and also other basics about music, such as a quaver, crotchet etc....
From my experience if you couldn't sing then you were not good enough to have a main role in a performance, which in my case I was that person. I never had the opportunities to have singing lessons as I was not 'good' enough.
Since coming to University to study Performing Arts I wanted to try something different in my degree, I wanted to be able to say I had learn things that I never had before.
As studying music now as part of my degree it has widened my knowledge a lot on what music is. I am now learning to 'try' and hold a note and be able to recognise a melody or even a harmony.
What I want to get out of this subject is to be able to have some knowledge of how to play the piano and also try to do some acapella. I am going to try and teach my self different cords on the piano and give this a good shot. I may find this journey hard but I am willing to give it a go!!
