As well as recording the exercises and research points as specified in the course, I will also post about any other activities I take part in that broadens my knowledge and experience of music, such as concert visits, books and journals I read, films I watch and topics I research.

Revising Assignments

I have now begun the next two courses in my degree; Start Composing Music, and The Art of Photography. On top of this, I have also started revising my assignments for this course according to tutor feedback ready for assessment in March. Today I spent several hours revising assignment one, consisting of an essay on the music in the film Psycho, and the short biography of Steve Reich. I have taken my tutors previous comments under consideration and reworked elements of my essays accordingly. It has actually been very interest revisiting topics I last looked at a year ago, and it's also interesting seeing how my way of working has developed, and thinking about how I would have done things differently had I been writing the essays today. I was, and still am pleased with the first draft of my assignment, but experience of studying over the past year has increased my awareness of the importance of details in my work.

Another task I have set myself is to have a tidy up on this blog, and organise things further, creating dedicated sections specifically for the assignments. This should make it easier for the assessors to find my reflections and tutor feedback on those assignments. I will also be looking through the blog and seeing if there are posts regarding concerts or research etc that would benefit from a more detailed write-up than has already been given. As soon as possible I will post my tutor feedback for assignment five, and my reflections on it.
