Hello Everyone, Hope you all had a good Easter break.
That's me back at college now and it's not been a bad first 2 days back. As much as I have enjoyed the 2 weeks break, I felt that I would have preferred to have spent those weeks at college and finished 2 weeks earlier at the end of term. I felt I wasn't as motivated as I should have been to do work, compared to when I'm at college. So it is now time to get my head back into the books and get all my course work handed in.
I have my Orchestration deadline next week. I'm confident enough that I shall have it finished without panicking at last minute. Well we shall see.

It's been a few weeks since I have last posted a blog. I am now on my Easter Break. I was planning on doing some work last week but unfortunately I got distracted and had a relaxing first week off. It is now the second week of the break and i am getting down to my work now.
I have been doing some orchestration today and I feel I have made progress. In the last couple of hours I have been working on my Bach piece which is getting there I just keeping rethinking of what other instruments to use and perhaps changing the ones I am already using. I am using a programme called Sibelius. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a music notation software. This lets me see exactly what notes I am entering and notifies me when I have gone out of range.
I am planning on using a drum kit in either one or two of my pieces so I have been learning how to read drum music and to be honest it isn't difficult. As they saying goes, you learn something new everyday and I have :D
I feel I am pretty confident when orchestrating a piece of music once I get started, the only down side is deciding which instruments to use as it is up to me rather than someone asking me to orchestrate a piece of music for specific instruments.
Well I'm going to get back to writing out my drum part. Hopefully I won't leave it too long until my next blog post. Enjoy your Easter.
