On the 26th of May was the OSC 2012 graduation ceremony and the after party. I had the oppertunity to DJ for the party along with 2 other people which allows me to work collaboratively with others. This was a good oppertunity as there was quite alot of people there and it also alowed me to undertake new challenges as i have never played for an audience that big before i was a bit nervous when i was asked to play. Also i was able to develop new skills whilst practising at home and creating a mix and as i was playing as i tried new things to make it more interesting. During this time i was able to test out a mix that i had made at home to see how the audience would react to it before i recorded it and upload it onto Youtube. This is the creativity aspect of CAS as i am experimenting with my music and mixes and also getting the chance to create new mixes whilst playing. It also includes part of the action side of CAS as i am putting what i have practised and the new skills that i have developed into action by DJing at the party. I am hoping to get more chances to play as i am really keen on it and i want to keep developing new skills. I am planning to study music technology in university, therefore i want to practise now then i will have good exerience by the time i take the course.
