Welcome to my Blog

My name is Finlay (F.O.B.), and for my Arts Award, I am going to be looking at creating beats and my own tracks for freestyle rapping.

To plan my Arts Award journey, I learned how to use Canva to create a mind map for my blog. This mind map helps me stay organised by showing what I need to achieve each week in order to reach my overall goals. Using Canva made it easy to visualise my plan clearly and creatively.

VIDEO 2 - Exploring Bandlab

During this planning process, I also discovered the music software BandLab. With support from my tutor, I spent some time learning how it works. I realised that BandLab is a powerful tool for creating remixes, as it allows you to edit and manipulate different tracks in lots of interesting ways. I experimented with changing beats, adjusting effects, and layering sounds to produce my own remix ideas.
