Academy Goal As an aspiring musician on the bass guitar in an up and coming band, Away Future I must strive to create better music and become a better musician. This process is hard to measure and monitor. I have devised a goal of learning a song that is currently out of my skill set and practicing and acquiring the knowledge and technique to attain the ability to play the song. The song I have chosen is Dean town by Vulfpeck. The feeling I get when the main bass lick comes in is a feeling I can't resist, and the main reason for wanting to learn the song. Dean town has a very fast, funky and groovy bass line. I want people to be thinking in their heads, "wow" when they hear me playing the bass lick. I have put a reasonable timeline on this goal to be completed by January 31, 2019, also at the end of my first semester at school. One of the main reasons I have chosen this goal is to be able to play it in a concert this year with my band as a feature for myself. This goal I have set in place will require dedication and focus which is why I have set away 3 hours in total practice hours a week. 30-minute practice sessions at my house daily with a rest on Sunday. I will start off by playing the song at a reasonable speed at 50% and slowly work myself up in speed month by month until I reach January being able to play alongside the song at full speed. Learning this one song will help me improve with playing other songs with the sheer difficulty level it brings and how much effort I will need to put forward. This goal will help me be a better bass player and a better band member. Personal Goal
Before basketball season starts I must get back into shape so that I can compete with the rest of the kids. Keeping your body fit is a sure way for a more healthy lifestyle and better feeling self overall. For me to get back into shape I am going to have to start working out again, "yay". My goal is to workout every school day before school starts at 7:00 am. This goals timeline is around November 10-17 depending on when basketball tryouts are. I will hopefully continue this goal even after basketball as it is a good way to help keep my body healthy and active. The workout time I wish to do on the schedule is 30-minutes with different workouts on different days. Ex Monday is legs, Tuesday is arm, Wednesday is cardio, and Thursday and Friday will be abs (not final). I will be working out in my basement with a checklist telling me what things I should be doing that day. If I really wanna spice things up I can even throw in a workout cd and use that. This goal is to ensure that I am in tip-top shape for basketball tryouts/season and will give me an edge on the competitors.
