Skill audit

Musically skills


In music I have a good ear for music. I can hear errors in my work (or any work) and find out how to make it right. 

In the music theory area I have a good knowledge of it but still need to enhance my skills on it.

With logic I find it most of the stuff easy to use but I still have a lot to learn. 

I have no that much knowledge when it comes to technical stuff like: mic's, amps, hardware and cables. But when it comes to software (eg logic) I have some sort of knowledge of its. 

Genre of music it is probably my biggest downfall. I don't really listen to a lot of other genre which as a musician I need to get use to the idea. 

. I've never crossed the idea of me DJ-ing but its something new so i would like to try it out 

. I would like to learn the guitar so I can touch other areas when making music.

. I got a general idea of  the music industry like the roles within the whole thing.



Life skills


. Me being on time isn't really a problem for me.

. I've got motivation for this course to pass with a good grade. 

. I work great with other.

. I all ways listen to other when they give there thoughts and opinion and I gave my thoughts too.

    j Cole concert

    On the 18th of May 2015 I want to see J Cole preform at the O2 arena in Royal Borough of Greenwich. the size of the venue was huge due to the amount of people that was there.



    the event didn't have a name (as far as i know). to promoters promoted the event on the O2 arena page and social media like Facebook and twitter. Also J Cole shouted out the event too. other artist came to preform too like  Jhené Aiko, Pusha T, Dreamville artists Bas, Cozz and Omen. There all hip hop RNB artist and they were also amazing. to me the event was a big success i enjoyed my self a lot ill never forget that experience.

    The album was recorded on 22 February – 20 August 1969 and released on 26 of September. The album was recorded in London at EMI, Olympic and Trident Studios. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star all sang the song in the album. The one that wrote the albums song was Paul McCartney.


    throughout the album all there songs have a groove that makes u want to move your feet. they all have unique sounds and instrumentals. the songs that caught my attention was here comes the sun and come together 




    here comes the sun has a good melody that sway you of your feet when you listen to it. the lyrics are great has a lot of meaning in them.




    the song come together has lot of great instrumentals in the song. i really like the bass in it and its jazzy groove as well.

    in conclusion my the song i like in the album is here comes the sun due to its melody and its lyrics.
