Week Commencing 9th February

Last week we decided to add another song but start practicing this week so we had a fresh start. Emily decided on "Because The Night" by Patti Smith. This seemed to suit Emily's voice the best out of all of the songs. Because this was the first try on this song, everyone still had music sheets with them including me who had to use a chord sheet for guitar. Dan had been practicing the song at home but had found that the "original" sheet music that he'd printed out had been written wrong, so we had to leave out that part of the song to practice next time. It went well because we only needed to practice the verse and chorus. After that we had a run-through of Walk Like an Egyptian, which went better than last week, although Chris didn't have the solo sorted yet. We practiced this a few times then tried One Way or Another again, we knew we had that song played the best because it was our first one.

We practiced Because The Night and Chris helped Dan with the piano part, and this lesson seemed to go better. We ran through all of our songs this time and we started to think of an order we could put them in. We again, chose another song to leave until next week to start, this time it was Girls Just Want To Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper.
