Week 7, Overall Project Evaluation

Working with Others Project Evaluation

Throughout this whole Working with Others project, I've learnt a lot of new skills such as; working well with other people/performers, better communication skills, independent skills and time management skills.

 Some parts of the whole project were difficult such as learning some of the songs for the performance, it seemed to have taken a lot longer than it should of. Another example was communication skills, some of the members in the class may argue a lot, and would slow down our overall progress in the project...

In our rehearsals for the cover songs Read all about it, Heart-shaped box, I Feel Good and Ordinary People, There were times when we all didn't know what our parts were in the rhythm section, so that slowed or progress down a lot but we managed to perfect it and it sounded really good when combined with the vocalists and the keyboardists and guitarists.. The song that took the longest to learn and perfect was I Feel Good - James Brown, because either both the singers or the rhythm section didn't know their parts so that song was cut out of the roster.

The original colour songs went well apart from the times when some people weren't there to perform their songs so we decided the leave out their songs.

On the day of the Performance, We listened to both Level 2 Music and Level 3 Music Production, and identified that Level 2s performance had an all-round feel to it, such as Rock, Metal and a Gospel feel in the last song whereas Level 3 Music Prod.'s performance had a rap-based feel throughout their whole performance.

Our performance had an all-round feel to it because we had Heart-shaped box, Ordinary people and Read all about it, plus our original colour songs..

Overall, this project was a success, I've learnt a lot of new skills such as better communication skills, teamwork and time management.. I still have a lot to learn about the music industry as a whole but I have made good progress..
