Personal Goals and Musical Experience
Personal Goals
My main goal with this course is to develop my skills and confidence within performing and music. Nerves often sabotage my performances unless I am in a group of people and it causes me to doubt my musical ability which is something I really wish to avoid. My instrumental skills are nothing spectacular, something I also wish to work on, but I'm not deaf and I know I have ability as a vocalist, it is removing nerves and embracing that ability that I would really like to change. My taste in music is actually quite helpful in this, I love Korean pop music and there are so many different groups with individual styles, vocals, abilities and teaching methods. Since it is such a competitive industry, sticking out from the normal and having decent vocal backing behind the styles is essential and it is something I wish to emulate in my own music. The fan base of kpop is huge and includes many music teachers and vocal professionals who analyse how the singers create their sound and how they are able to put on such an incredible performance without sacrificing their vocals. Watching a lot of these videos and reading these articles has already helped me recognise decent technique and having a platform like the internet to communicate with these people makes it even easier to get help wherever and whenever I need it. The main steps I will take to achieve what I want will be exposure, the more I perform the better I will get at it. I know my parents would be willing to listen to me when I want and with the internet, I have debated posting covers on YouTube, Instagram or some other platform.
Previous Experience
My experience within music is somewhat limited. During primary school, I didn't really play instruments, the only experience I got was singing assemblies every week and the occasional visit to St John's Church with other primary schools. Over my time in secondary school, I have competed in House Music once, been part of two musicals (although I missed two of the final performances for one because I was ill) and performed in House Drama every year. I don't really do anything of this nature outside school however I have been able to teach myself the basics of several instruments (guitar, piano, ukulele, drums, beatboxing if that counts) alone.
