First session I rehearsed – Rolling in the deep

I had a few runs through rolling in the deep as feel more confident practising on my own without the pressure of others in the room. When I’ve heard others rehearse I have been concerned about timing however feel like moving forward more practise in rehearsal will help progress.

Things that went well…

I prefer to play alongside the music without vocals as this distracts means I can get the timing right when I hear the beat more. The more I practise the easier it flows when playing my hand muscle strength needs to be improved when playing. I did show Dom what I have learnt so far and he said he was happy with my progress.

Things to improve on…

I discussed with Dom playing the song on a different beat the original song is on the end of 1 and this is something I need to practice. We thought it may be easier to come in on the 1 but want to play like the original. People have changed groups a few times and need to ensure I am practising with the same people each time.

Further progress…

I would like to rehearse with other instrument to then play alongside vocals. I want to continue to progress my confidence in playing by getting the timing right before playing with others. When Jayden rehearsed with me last week he was just learning the son and needed the chords tods to follow correctly.

I didn’t perform someone like you this morning as feel very confident about this now. However, the vocals may be changing back to Maddie now due to the other vocals not attending.

We only have around 5 weeks until the performance to rehearse and perfect.
