Week 3 - Pop ballads week - I performed the song "I Want to Know What Love is" by Foreigners. This song I feel went quite well so so - It didn't go horribly wrong, but then it wasn't an amazing performance either.
The rehearsing went okay, I learnt the song best I could, there was a weird swing pattern which took me a little bit before I could play the section properly, but even when we performed I still missed out some parts from the song. just small things like maybe an opened hi-hat or a small fill, something that's in the song but not to significant that would cause chaos if not put into the song. Fortunately for myself, as a result of the genre being Pop ballads, drums are not the main instrument- its presence is not so significant to that of the piano, or vocals or even guitar, so the drums being soft, repetitive and simple, not many mistakes could be made.
