For the music performance, we are practicing Moby's "Why does my heart feel so bad?". I'm playing the piano, Miray is playing xylophone and singing, Almira is also singing and is playing the keyboard, while Arshia and Zain are going to play percussion.
I have performed piano and trombone in concerts and school bands before, but this is the first time I'm accompanying singers in a group performance. This required practice and coordination which I had learned from playing in band, but here the challenge was to not get distracted and mess up the song.
We have learn most of the piece, only the "these open doors" section is left. I found the chord patterns a bit challenging, so I tried my best in reading the rhythm carefully and just went with that.
This piano piece is not difficult, so it didn't take me much time to learn the chords and melodies, but I needed to listen to the actual song to check whether or not the rhythm I was playing was correct.
You've played trombone... How have you kept that quiet!!! Do you still? We have a spare instrument in school that you could use... We could definitely use a trombone player in Meadows Band!!! I can give you some lessons as brass is my specialism (valved rather than slide, but still... I have a wealth of superb trombone playing friends who we can call on to support you)
ReplyDeleteA good reflection generally. You pick out peoples roles. You pick out personal challenges & ways in which you intend to overcome them. Well done.
