In this lecture, I was introduced to the course for the first time. This included an explanation of what our end goal would be in order to complete the assessment successfully. This end goal consists of a performance of an “original composition, between 3-5 minutes in length.”. It also includes keeping this blog in order to document each session as well as the module tasks. We were also shown the next assessment after this, although we will not be starting it until we have finished the first assessment.
Our main activity in the lecture was a series of icebreaker activities. We split off into groups and each said our name, favourite food and our favourite artist or song at 14. We also used the website Padlet to share our musical influences (and some random life hacks) as well as a practice profile listing our experience with performing and with our respective musical instruments.
