BACKMASKING Website

Hi all,

Found this little site on the web. I'm not convinced that anyone could actually hear the words if they weren't written for you but it is a laugh.
If you find some others let me know.

Enjoy! Mr B.

Hi all,
You have probably heard the ads on the radio. Just checked it out and they have much better quality audio than youtube. Check it out some time.

Critical Reflection Questions. - Elective Music

Here they are:
  1. Describe the best and worst practice session you had. Include your thoughts
    on what made them good or bad. Talk about whether your practice sessions
    got better as you progressed in the unit.
  2. Discuss your experience of performing in front of the audience. Talk about
    how you felt. Did you feel the audience responded to your performance? Did
    you feel ‘engaged’ with the audience members? How well did you play/sing?
  3. If you had to do this again, what would you do differently? Talk about the
    process of Practice – Rehearse – Perform and what worked for you, and what
    you would do differently next time.

Enjoy! Mr B.

REFLECTION & Practice Diary

Hi all,

Please remember that you can email me or post at this site as a comment your reflection from your performance. I would love to have at least your practice diaries before the end of term so I can mark them.
It would be great to have some video reflections if those movie making buffs are out there.
Remember that you can reflect in any format you wish..... be creative!

I will post the reflection questions when I can here so you can complete it at home.

Both parts are worth 10% of your final mark for music (that is for the whole course!!) so don't risk a few percent by leaving it too late. I will be deducting marks for late work without a good reason! If you are having difficulties come and see me to discuss an extension on the due date.

Enjoy! Mr B.
