Introduction

Hello, I'm Ellie I am currently studying for a BA Honours Degree in Music Performace.

I'm currently in my second-year as a part of my musicianship module I am creating a blog to record my journey throughout the year. This blog will be used to review my skills as a practitioner, acknowledge areas for development and address these though personal sustained practice and assessed performances.

Musicianship two includes two recitals, one as a group ensemble and one as a solo performer. The group ensemble part consists of learning 2 songs each week; two songs from every decade from the 50's to now. The solo performance consists of learning 3 songs alongside the ensemble work. The songs must be challenging and vary in genre.
