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.
