Contextual knowledge


  • How Unit 317 developed my contextual knowledge


 My contextual knowledge has improved so far that I now know more about the structure of pop music and what makes this kind of music so famous in the first place. In addition, I now also know about how new inventions influenced the pop music.

What I really wanted to do was to sing and play guitar at the same time, which can be very easy if you only play a couple of chords. But if you want to learn songs, where you have to pick the strings, it is a lot harder to stay firstly in the rhythm and secondly to hit the right notes.

Why do I chose these songs and why do they contrast? I chose these songs because they have two new tequniques, I've never really played before in my songs. For example strumming and slapping and hitting a string with one finger to produce a sound. What aspects of your performing and musical skills are you most proud of? I am most proud of my concentration when I play the guitar, because when I do a mistake or when I am in front of an audience I just continue playing. In what aspects in musical and performing skills do you want to improve further? Combine instruments, so singing whilst playing.

Performance Evaluation 1st November 2017

Evaluation Formula I played the guitar and played the song ,,numb'' by Linking Park. It was a Solo. What went well was that I played almost fluently. My timing was okay. I just messed up one bit at 0:53 because my hand were trembling.  What I am the most happy with is that is remembering the song. I`m not so happy with my performance because I couldn't show the expression which I normally play in this song. I looked on the guitar the whole time but I think it was a good experience. I also think I was to much into it in learning the because it made me more nervous, before I had the performance. Before I will have my next performance i will improve my stage presence and make eye contact with the audience more. i also would like to build up more confidence in order to sing whilst accompanying myself.
