Lesson One
Today we recapped the prologue and worked on Alibaba. I didn't like working with the sticks at first, as they made my hands itch, and crouching down holding one straight as part of the forest gave me cramp. But now I love having them in the show, because they allow us to be so creative, and I realised how affective they are.
Using the sticks helped me to contribute some really good and useful ideas to the piece, like a certain time we could bang them down etc. I realised I was good at planning sound affects and knew exactly when a good time would be to bang them down. I had such a clear picture in my mind of how I wanted it to sound, and I was delighted when I was allowed to get the class to try out my ideas, because it sounded exactly how I imagined it.
I would say that was definitely my strength in this lesson.
However, I did get bored easily in this lesson, because it was so repetitive. My target is to try and concentrate more at times like these and not switch off.
