reveiw for unit 2 preformance
in our performance we did a lot of techniques that will help us make or performance successful. for example we use eye contacted to communicate like when to start and when to finish. we all warmed up before we preformed so that when we do preform we preform at are best and not sound rubbish. for some they warmed up there voice some had to warm up there hand to play so that would be people who play piano. a technique I did personally was to go home and learn the chords for one of the song at the last minute. my group had to change the song at the last minute due to on of our group member drop off the course so we change it from MJ rock with you to mr probz waves it was my job to learn the chords for that song as soon as possible as I can which I did.

health and safety issue
it is important for an artist to stay healthy and to know when it is he or shes limit. the reason it so impotent is because if an artist was to eat lot of junk food before he performed he/she would pass out
that why it impotent to eat an healthy diet which are: fruit and veg(5 a day), protein, fatty food(not all the time), milk and dairy(not all the time as well) and lastly water the most impotent of them all. artist should keep fit that mean instead of wait around for someone to turn up run around the block a few time do some push up and sit up something like that. in terms of safety there is a lot how thing an artist need to look out for. for example an artist greatest sense is his/her ears. To insure that your ear working good condition the best way is to turn down your music if it on max and if u are going to a concert get ear plugs. the reason for this is that you cant call yourself a artist if your ear are not working at all. if you play an instrument never play when your in pain best thing to do is to rest up. all ways warm up if you play instrument or if your a singer/rapper. it also impotent for an artist to get the right amount of sleep. it more impotent on the day of the performance. lack of sleep will hurt your performance really badly.

Rehearsal techniques
sorry you cant see me hopefully u can hear me
what change i can make to look after my health
First thing i would change to maintain my health is to eat health stuff like: vegetable, fruit, less fat stuff and milk but not not to much of it. i would also try ride a bike for often and maybe to college or walk to college. and ill try not to use the bus more often. ill do activity like basketball or football. i can do a few exercise at less 5 times a day which includes: sit up, push up, running in parks and all that stuff. i will try do these stuff everyday to insure i can preform my best as a musician. To keep my ear in working condition for a musician I shouldn't listen to music on max volum. If I keep listening to music on max I will getting a something called tinnitus. If I get this as a musician I will find it hard to listen or preform music.
