My Reflection on Music

Kia Ora and welcome to my blog, today I will be giving you my reflection on Music. I will be answering a few questions, sum up, what I had done.

What instrument did you choose and why?
I had chosen the piano,  I chose it because I was always fascinated by how to play the piano.  Also, most of my favourite music can also be played on a piano.

What song did you choose to learn and why?
In my case, I learnt how to play Married Life of the movie Up.  I chose this iconic song because you can play it fast which makes the music sound happy or play it slow and change the whole mood of the song to a sad version.

What was challenging with this piece and why?
For me, the challenging part was getting the left hand down for the backup music.  I was always used to doing everything with my right hand that when I had started to use my left hand I started to struggle.

Were you happy with the final recording/performance? Why?
I was exhausted by in the end I got the result that I am proud and happy with.  Now I can show off my skills on any piano I use/play with.

What could you change about your performance if you could do it again?
I would change the speed,  I would do the whole beat a little bit faster but I found it a little to complex for me.  I did the slow part of the song at the best of my ability.

Were you happy with your overall grade?
I personally think that I did a little bit better.  But it is alright due to the fact that could have added more.  I will try and learn what I have done wrong.  Although I can get some things better I can learn from it and do better.

Have you enjoyed your music semester?
I have had a blast,  being able to work with an amazing teacher who supported me and helped me understand piece by piece how to play the piano.  Also, the classmates who were always stunned by how I progressed.  I am very thankful for the opportunity to work with a Keyboard/Piano and hopefully, I can do it again next year.
