Feedback Report 

I have collated five pieces of feedback from different sources in response to my project launch. I have identified three actions that I will take from this feedback to refine my services.

I collated feedback from two of my clients, Jack Torrance, an external client, and Amy McHale, who is an internal client at Riverside. I provided session musician services to Jack Torrance, performing at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, and recorded his first single, "Reminisce". I also provided session musician services to Amy McHale, playing on her recording "endlessly". Further feedback was collated from Gordon Wilson, a professional session drummer, Abigail Berry, who is also a student in year 2 of my course, and finally my external music theory tutor, Sam Clark.

​​

1. Jack Torrance commented on the quality of my service as a session drummer and said, “You have added really interesting drum arrangements to my songs alongside performing really well at my gigs."

2. Amy McHale commented "that she enjoyed the dynamic range of my drumming" provided for her track.

3. My external drum tutor and professional session drummer, Gordon Wilson, looked at the promotion element of my project, reviewing the videos I had posted on my Instagram account. He commented that “due to the attention span of the viewers being quite short while browsing online, I would recommend that you post shorter videos that are under a minute in length to capture more engagement from the audience."

4. Abigail Berry, who is a singer on Year 2 of my course, provided feedback on the price of my services as a session drummer as per the standard Musicians' Union rates. She commented that "I should reduce this hourly rate to begin with while I am building up my reputation and become better known."

5. My external music theory tutor, Sam Clark, looked at my online promotion presence on YouTube. He commented as follows: “You are promoting four genres of music in your project, indie rock, alternative rock, pop, and hard rock, you should make it clear to clients that you can play a wide range of genres over and above these four genres."

​​

Considering these five sources of feedback, I will implement three actions derived from the feedback moving forward to refine my project. These are :

​​

1. I will produce shorter video content to maintain viewers’ attention on Instagram.

2.  I will charge a slightly lower fee for my session drumming for recording sessions than suggested by the Musicians' Union while I build my reputation.

3. I will promote a diverse range of genres on my online social media sites to highlight that I can play a wide range of genres in addition to the four main genres stated.
