Vocal Demos and Teaching Opportunities

After turning 28 yesterday, I feel like I have had a few gifts thrown my way on the creative front this week.

A new career opportunity showed itself this week in the form of an interview. iRock School of Music is currently looking for full time staff to run sessions. The job would involve teaching kids about making music in a setting that allows them to all pick up an instrument and have a go. I would be leading these sessions in multiple schools around the area. I love the idea of bringing the love of creating music to others so this would be right up my street. I have taught people before and i'v been told i'm quite good at it, teaching at a group level would be a first for me though. Im keen to really push myself with this one to see what I can achieve. At the least its good interview experience.

There has been some nice progress on "Anywhere" this week. Sena was able to get another demo accross to me of the first verse and chorus. It was good to hear the vocals along with the new parts I have added. The previous guides were a little tricky to follow so I made sure to add a click track as well as a version with me singing her part. It seems like the extra guidance is useful as things are coming along nicely! It is always a good feeling when someone performs something you came up with and it sounds better than you imagined it would. I often find it to be a more fulfilling feeling than creating alone.

From here on i'll be looking out for more vocal recordings while prepping for my interview. Its going to be a busy week.
