Factors to be considered
balancing the programme; choosing pieces appropriate for: the venue,
the audience, performer stamina levels; technical/musical difficulty
of pieces; amount of preparation time needed before concert; availability of printed music and/or recordings; type of accompaniment required;
availability of suitable equipment and personnel to operate it eg sound
system, technical crew/operator.
P1 identify appropriate and contrasting pieces for an extended programme of music
D1justify appropriate and contrasting pieces for an extended programme of music
The instruments that i will be using for the solo perfomance is the piano and the songs that i will be playing in the venue are:
romantic flight by john powell
let it go from frozen (idinas version)
kiss the rain by yiruma
moon rise by brain crain ill be playing the version of yiruma
competine d`un autre
an ideal of hope by hanz zimmer
victors piano solo
i find this songs are suitable to play in the venue because each one of them has different emotions and different rythms so each song will show different things for example:
Comptine d'un autre is in a key of E minor,it's an instrumental solo and the main instrument is the piano it was composed by Yann Tiersen.This piece has repeated patterns and fits easily under an adults hands. It is very emotional and evocative, which helps the pianist to be more expressive and to work on using dynamics effectively.The tempo is a bit tricky but overlall its a enjoyable piece to play.
Victor's piano solo is a key of C# minor,This is a rendition of a piano solo from The Corpse Bride, the music to which was composed by Danny Elfman.Its a gorgeous piece to play.
an ideal of hope is in the key of e major and i would say this songs has the most different rythm than any other songs that ill be playing even though its in the same key.an ideal of hope was composed by hanz zimer and is a film soundtrack in the movie of man of steel.
Romantic flight was composed by john powell and its a film soundtrack for how to train your dragon.this song is quite peaceful evn thought ill be playing another film soundtrack an ideal of hope will be much more different than romantic flight.the key is in b major.
Let it go its the third soundtrack that ill be playing composed by Kristin Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez ill be playing the arrangement by David Russell.ill be playfing his arrangement because its much harde version and i has more dynamics. this song is from frozen and its the versiion of idina menzel i find her version more appiing than demi lovato.
moon rise and kiss the rain will be the 2 other songs that il be playing they were made from different people but ill be playing by the same person baisacly moonrise was made by brian carin but yiruma made a different version and as i am a ig fun of yiruma ill be playing his version also kiss the rain is the other song made by yiruma but it has a different kind of rythm its more slower than moonrise but both of them kinda have the same dynamics even thought its a different song.
Ive been researching of other successful performers and how they succeeded on their perfomance

Ive been researching of other successful performers and how they succeeded on their perfomance
week 1-Me and tom had a chat about how to release emotions into my repertoires by using different dynamics on the piano also by making my style than the composers style for example tom told me that the best way to start a playing is to make everyone to shut up first and to do that i could try and press the keys lighter in the way that no one can hear that way people have to be quite so they can hear and after that i can start using different dynamics.
week 2-Been practising on my dynamics for next week as we have to perform our demo version of the song in front of the group so each songs have to be at least 40 seconds long
week3-the perfomance in front of the group went quite well i used the dynamics frequently and made no mistakes on playing the song it was more difficult playing infront of the than playing infront of an large audience.There was a problem with the song let it go i dint know how to play the song so i made alot of mistakes for my demo performance.The target for next week is to learn the song let it go.
week4-This week ive been practising the song let it go i think is going quite well ive learned at least 2 minutes of the whole song so im half way to complete it.Ihavent been doing much on other songs i still need to learn romantic flight and kiss the rain but those songs are quite easy to learn so my main focuse is to learn the whole song.
week 5-been focusing on the song let it go just like last week but this time i found a version of idina menzel acappela version of let it go been checking if it sounds better with the acappella version or the whole ensemble as it seems no one else can sing let it go also been trying to practice the song until it reaches the high standard so it will sounds a bit jazzy in the end.
week 6- my main focus this week is to learn the whole song romantic flight its been quite difficult to play the whole song there's a lot of dynamics and chords that change the tempo of the song and it gets even harder through out the way but its a really amazing song to play so my targets are to get all of the chords and notes played correctly.
week7- finished learning romantic flight and now been practicing kiss the rain this week im aiming to complete this song at the end of this week so i can go back to let it go and improve on it.Kiss the rain is a easy song to play you repeat quite a lot when playing this song it just changes the rhythm once and then it goes back so im positive that this song will be finished at least tomorrow.
