Mock Audition
On Wednesday, 9/9 you will be doing a Mock Audition in class. You will need to have 16-32 bars of a song cut and ready to perform with background tracks (no vocals on them, please). Ideally, you are going to want your music on a different device than the device you use to Zoom, in order to avoid taking up bandwidth. You may also submit your audition via video ahead of time, JUST IN CASE you don't have a good quality audition due to tech issues in the live session.
Tuesday's check in period can be used to test volume, test lag, get comfortable, etc.. so if you want to come to the check in with your song ready, we can use the breakout rooms as practice rooms!

Steal Like an Artist assignment
The first part of the reading focused on the idea of "stealing" ideas from everywhere. Stealing ideas is great, but it also requires continuing to LEARN... what are 10 things you want to learn? Think outside the box....this doesn't have to be a general skill (like piano), it could be really specific (I want to learn how to make a really good creme brulee).... List 10 things you want to learn on the attached reflection. Submit by the end of class.
