There are pianists, guitarists, a bass guitarist, a drummer and vocalists. I am working in the vocalist group with Beth, Tino, Sam, Sophie, and Jenny; Jenny, Beth and I all have solos.
Beth has worked out the harmony in the bridge and I am learning it, so that I can join her to strengthen the harmony. Of course, we will practice at home, and hopefully we will all learn the lyrics.
Once we had practiced for maybe forty minutes, we all gathered together as a class to rehearse the song with all the parts. However, in my opinion, the class rehearsal was... not brilliant, if I'm brutally honest. We kept falling out of time, and in a few places, the other soloists didn't come in. When this happened, I did try to bring us back to the right place, but the rest of the group were following the singers that were out of time.
On top of this, the drum beat was fluctuating and speeding up a lot, the guitarists didn't have their riff in the right place and the pianists were often playing the chords out of tune or time. However, I'm optimistic that by our recording, it will be better.
