2nd May – In todays lesson we finalised the structure for our own improvised song that we have named ‘Jam On Toast’. We came up with an ending that will come after the c section. The c section brings everything together and also builds tension up the final chord and makes the ending very impactful. I came up with a chord progression that went f#,e,b,a,g# then it repeated its self so it was played four times overall. We then played the riff in double time but changed the last two chords, the a became a C#minor and the G# became an E. The drums here picked up and played a heavy beat using the crash cymbal to increase the dynamic of the song. I also came up with a part to link parts c to chorus. O the last bar of the c section I played a chromatic run passage starting on a followed by G#,G then F# playing 8th note triplets. A big final chord was struck at the end with a drum accent and all of us making lots of 'noise' and concluding the piece the same chord again played staccato to draw the piece together.
We then rehearsed all of the pieces over again and they all sounded good and are all ready to perform.
I am going to practise all of the pieces in my own time over the next week so that I am 100% confident with all of my parts.
