Practice IO Decision
For my practice IO, I chose to use the literary text “Top Girls”, which is a 1982 play by Caryl Churchill. It centres around Marlene, a career-driven woman who is heavily invested in women’s success in business.

Top Girls Monologue
Joyce goes Even though we are sisters, I could not imagine someone more opposite than Marlene. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t related to her at all, the f*cking b*tch.

Initial Reflection for Orchestra & Jazz Band: 28/9/2019
LO1: In terms of previous experiences, I have done Orchestra and Jazz Band last year. It has become very apparent to me in terms of musical capability that I am able to proficiently play pieces after practicing extensively, and that one of my areas of weakness comes from sight-reading. However, I feel like I want […]
