BOLLYWOOD MUSIC!!! ♥♥♥

Hey y'all!

At the beginning of the day we were told that the Creative & Media Diploma students are making Bollywood music. To be perfectly honest I wasn't looking forward to this and I wanted to do anything besides music. We went onto a room where we met two men were going to perform for us. One man were playing bongos and the other man was playing the sitar. The sitar is an Indian guitar. Their music was very moving and I loved the way the instruments sounded together. After they finished they introduced themselves as Neil and Jonathan-. After we got settled in with their names they told us what was going to be going on today.

We were going to be divided into 3 groups- choir, percussion, and instrumental group. I chose the instrumental group. Along with me there was Buki, Faduma, Bisola, Safia, Frencessca, Najma, and Betsy. In the instrumental group we had a variety of different instruments. We had a choice of the keyboard, violin, saxophone, trumpet, dulcimer, and last but certainly not least the sitar. I started to play the violin since I used to play a while ago but I started to get a bit bored with it (the reason why I stopped playing the violin in the first place) so I swapped my instrument with Najma's- which was the sitar. We all practised and practised our part until we thought we were near perfect. The bell went and that meant after break everyone had to get together, practise, and later on record ourselves.

Now this time the vocals, the percussionists, and the instrumental group came together as one and we all started to practise together. The drummers had african drums, bongos, and tabla's and choir had their voices- of course- and you already know what we had as instruments. We continued to practise until our work was absolutely perfect! After that it was time to record ourselves for our grade. We had to keep recording though because some people were laughing a lot but we got the hang of it and the end we were able to listen to it. And I must say...I was very impressed and happy with our work!!
