Music Ensemble - GCSE Grade 10

My name is Chong Yeon, this is my blog for the GCSE music subject. From now on I will be uploading and reflecting on my work to achieve success.
So in the first term we had to ensemble a music, supposedly we were told to play an instrument along a backing track or just play without it. It was the first recording that I have done in Grade 10.

The instrument that I had determined to play was the drum kit. My backing track was "Boulevard of Broken Dreams'' by Green Day.

Green Day is an American Punk Rock band which was formed in 1987 lead by the vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt. The most of their career they had a drummer named Tre Cool. So, for most of their career life they have played in a trio. In 2012 guitarist and backing vocalist Jason White became a member. And so on other 

members joined. 

This is the link to me playing the drums along the background track:

My performance was a solo performing traditional performance 


The person that I am critiquing is Jiwon Ryu. He had played violin for his performance. 





This is Jiwon's work on the reflection on my performance:




This is my reflection on my personal performance:
