Arts review
Today i was suprised that we were going to watch a performance by Sam.J.Clark.
He and his quitarist have benen in the performing arts industry for some time now and were very friendly and confident when introducing them selves.
Fistly Sam told the year that the reason why he was here today was because he wanted to premote his first released album and also to inform us about Blood Donating. He's a Blood Embasider and wanted us to consider becoming one in the future.
Then we watched a video clip on Blood Donating. It was well rehearsed and told us important statistics and facts.
After the video clip, he performed his song "Devastated" with his guitarist. Sam also played the guitar as well as singing. It was a really strong performance. His voice was clear, loud and unique. The guitar playing was so good- it made me want to start learning how to play it.
Once the performance was over, the whole year and i gave a massive aploud!
Then we were aloud to ask questions... somebody asked if he had met any celebrities and he said he has done, but doesnt see them as labeled "CELEBRITIES" for he said there exactly like any other, every day person. He said he was sat next to Peter Aundre yesterday!!!!!!! Another question was how did he get into the performing arts industry in the first place. He replied by saying that he entered an australian competition to act on niebours for 3 months. Out of 4000 applicants, he wone! (very lucky and talented).
Lastly he signed autographs for everyone, which was nice of him because he could have just given us photo copied ones.
Over all, the performance, video and speech was very entertaining and well organised!!!

My activity is keyboard
Today i will be learning how to play Bruno mars "billioniar" song on the keyboard. in the begging of the lesson i was given a booklet from my teacher. it asked what sort of performing arts activities i've done and what activities i would like to do in the future. Then there was questions about what topic and focuss i will be doing the next term (all about the song lean on me). I chose singing (either solo or harmoney) whilst playing the keboard. once id answered all the questions fully-which i did, i was then aloud to start learning the song "billionair". i diddnt really get far in the piece of music for i couldnt understand were to place my hands, on what keyboard. I was going to get help from my teacher but it was already the end of the lesson. i will keep trying to learn the song next lesson.
I behaved well in todays lesson and listened to my teacher, without chating or talking over her. i didnt implament ideas because we diddnt discuss ideas today however i did answer questions when asked.
