Personal Goals & Musical Experience

My Personal Goals for this Course

1. One particular skill that I would like to develop is becoming a skilled drummer, and to be able to perform in front of people.  This is because I would like to play in a band one day, or play the drums to different songs when I need to.

2. Another skill that I would like to develop is becoming more confident when performing in front of different people.  If I can do this, I can practise as much as I can and improve as a drummer.

3. Another goal that I would like to achieve  is getting the best grade in this course as possible so that I can keep improving, and progress to A-level.

4. I would also like to make sure I practise frequently so I can become a better drummer.  This will enable me to develop my technique in many areas.

My Musical Experience

In my musical history, I have experienced music a lot at school, all the way back to Primary school.  However, I officially started drumming around the start of year 9 when I was playing songs in groups.  This helped me get used to the drums.  Shortly after, I received drum lessons for around 6-8 weeks which allowed me to develop my musical skills and experience.

At home, I have never owned any instruments, however I very much enjoy listening to music in my free time and enjoy many different styles and genres.  One time I experienced performing in front of others was in year 9 when I played the drums to "Get Lucky" in front of Primary school children.
