Drum lessons are going well I feel more confident as a drummer and doing all my five songs, I feel like I have come a long way since I first started to drum to where i'm now I also think I have focused a lot on my drumming and blog.
Even tho I have come a long way on my drumming skills I still want to continue playing the drums as I enjoy playing them and it is fun to do in my spare time.

Over summer going in to Yr 11
Over summer going in to year 11 I didn't do much but I hated i've started to re do my power point so instead of doing rock, now i'm doing pop which I am more familiar with as I listen to pop more then rock music.
I'm not that far in to my power point at the moment but I am doing 30mins on it every night at home so I will quickly catch up to where I was on my rock powerpoint. The good thing is, is that I know where my mistakes were in my last powerpoint so this powerpoint on pop will be much better then my old rock music powerpoint.

Term Review 2 (Easter)
this term i have made progress but still need to improve my drumming but i need to improve on my speed because sometimes i'm fast but sometimes i'm really slow so i need to find a good not to fast but also not to slow but a constant pace.
Also last lesson i got recorded by sir and i think it went well but like i said if i had a good constant pace it would have gone better because my beat and fills i made up myself and in thought they went well but if i had a good pace and not jump start it would of gone so much better.

Instrumental Diary
Recently with my drum lessons I have not been able to go to them as I have had my exams but when I haven't had my exams it has been going well, but I just need to be practicing outside of drum lessons for example in my music lessons. I need to be practicing my songs I have been working on but I also need to be practicing my drum fills.My exams have now finished so I can start to practice again.
so far I've been working on a song that I have made up and I'm feeling confident on it but I need to find another song to play still.

Week 28
Working Progress
Last lesson i had to watch people perform and give them feed back on their performance and perform myself in front of an audience. When i performed in front of everyone it felt a bit more natural then the last time i performed in front of every one but i know that i still need a lot more practice because it didn't seem smooth when i played but that will just come if i continue to play the drums.
