The Snow Queen
Posted by JesseAug 21
I just had my first two weeks at the music and theater school. It was so much fun. The first week was an introduction week and we did some games and had lessons in all the main lines (dance, theater and music). The first week ended with an party where Julia and me were the DJ’s.
Now the real work has started.The big event in the first real week is a musical which we have to make called The Snow Queen. All the students at the school were split into four groups and each group has to take care of a 1/4 part of the musical. That included writing music, stage and lighting. Together with some other students I am playing the music for our part.
I’m playing the drums because we have two bassists and no drummer. Its a challenge because I never played drum before and we have until next Friday to practice. So I will have to learn drumming within one week. We’re playing 3 songs, A Walsh, a Pink Floyd psychedelic song and a funk song. I’m going to practice tonight.
Besides the musical I had music class where we played 2 songs (Dictee- If This Is Cool, Incubus - Anti Gravity). We are going to practice 3 songs for music line in total, which we will play live in October. Next to the main study lines there are elective classes you can attend. I picked Theater, Show Dance, Danish language, Radio Theater and solo lessons in singing and Piano.
