Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Evolver Debrief.

1. Was the project succesful? Why?

i think that the project was successful in the fact that we sold enough tickets, we had plenty of songs to perform, even after some were cut for not being ready enough, people were adding new songs in once they had finished with their band songs etc.

2. Did you have enough time/space/support?

personally i feel like i did have enough time despite coming in halfway through the project, i feel like i picked the songs up quickly, however there were some songs that i struggled with and i feel that if i had had more time to learn them then i would of performed them better/they wouldn't of been cut from the show.

3. List ways in which your band was successful?

i think my band was successful because we did get all four of our band songs done in time, and we worked well as a group.

4. List ways in which your band was unsuccesful?

although we did work well as a group, there were often conflicting ideas within the group which sometimes led to arguements, and time wasting that could of been used to make songs better/learn more songs.

5. How could you overcome these problems next time?

to overcome the arguements i think we should all just listen to each others opinions and ideas and not be quick to dismiss other people views.

also to overcome time wasting, we should have set breaks so that people dont just walk off whenever they feel like it.

6. Can you evaluate your groups:

a) communication/listening skills/communication.

our communication and listening skills; co-operation was okay, we did listen to each other, but sometimes people were a bit too bossy, or not willing to listen to others veiws.

c) rehearsal techinques:

our rehearsal techniques weren't the best, we mostly just performed the song over and over again, which did work to some extent, however if we had learnt the song wrong and continued playing it repeatedly, then we would learn it wrong and find it hard to break out of the habit of playing it wrong.

d) strengths and weaknesses:

strengths - we all picked up the songs fairly quickly, without any fuss

weaknesses - time wasting and arguments/bossiness etc

7. What have you learned from this project? (what can you do now that you couldn't do before)

i have learnt to sing different styles of music to that of which i would usually sing.

8. What do you consider to be the main area that you need to work on as a musician?

stage presence/confidence.
