Hey guys! Well this week In Research and management class, to which this blog is an account of, we gained valuable information in to how best to title our dissertation. I have decided to focus my dissertation on Rastafarianism and its influence on the lyrics of Reggae music. I have been busy ordering relevant books needed to complete this piece of work and also researching various journals and online resources to use. My Bibliography is beginning to come together now so i should be able to present something at college next week.

First Entry!
Well first of all a big thanks to the fine people at Perth college for letting me back! This year Il be attempting to achieve my BA Degree in Popular Music.
Right so here goes....
after our delightfully enlightening induction day which consisted of us signing a lot of paper our first two timetabled days began the following week. Our first class titled Research and Management Skills we found out is where all of our big pieces of writing are going to take place. We were given a lot of deadlines for our main dissertation and Ensemble Projects. Being asked for the following week to have a good hard think about what we would like to research and do our dissertation on the only conclusion I have made so far is that there shall be a definite Reggae feel for the year to come.
Our next class called Digital Audio Production Multimedia was quite a confusing one... in fact I haven't really got a clue what is meant to be achieved in it so il leave that one till later on :P
Then was time for Ensemble class where we have decided to do a project based around Soul music and The Blues Brothers.... This should be a great project!
The following day we we all got enrolled in Blackboard, which was about as exciting as watching paint dry!
The following class was a lot more interesting. Presenting a Personal Portfolio sounds like it could be a good fun class, I look forward to getting paired up with a designer and getting there creative input on my project. Il report more on this class as it develops.
The final class on the day was our decision class where we got the choice of studying Music Production or Instrumental instruction. I chose Production as this class i feel has the potential to be very interesting and rewarding.
So yeah a new year and a whole lot of new work to be getting on with so tune in next week to here more about my life at perth college.
