IT'S TIME FOR A STUPID QUESTION! =P

What are the from - to dates for the music practicals? I can't download the pdf on the BoardOS site cos my computers stuffed and I am too impatient to wait and ask my mus teacher tomorrow.

Cheers,
chépas .

These are the piano pieces I'm doing:

MacArthur Park - (sung by Donna Summer)
Bagatelle - (Beethoven)
Sonatina - (Kabalevsky)
Willy Wagglestick's Walkabout - some funky jazz song.

I would love to hear you people sing!

Willy Wagglestick's Walkabout!! haha i play piano too and was going to do this one but instead im doing triplet falls...its in the same book i think...i like slower jazz music better

 

[Thomas_wow]

i only have one song down so far, and thats RHCP - around the world with my own slap solo in middle...

i play bass.... got im unorganized ;/

 

[bubz :D]

I'm a vocalist and I'm singing
1) Over the Rainbow - Eva Cassidy version

that's gorgeous.


anyway, for my hsc i played these pieces (piano)
1. another look at autumn by nigel sabin
2. prelude and sarabande by bach
3. nocturne in E minor by chopin

not sure abotu the details for the two pieces coz i never remember these things o__O
i was thinking of doing the moonlight sonata as well, but since i hadn't been practising it regularly, adn also my teacher suggested against it coz the examiners DO get sick of it... not that you shouldn't play it, of course.

do all your performances get assessed in one hit? [i.e. music II and music ext at the same time]. either way i'm pretty sure it's not a problem, but i think they like to see variety in styles. on the other hand, if you played them brilliantly i doubt it'd affect your marks at all.

 

[chepas]

^^As in for the HSC perf prac? Yeah they are. I remember the poor souls last year who did 3U mus, chose all performance electives and ended up having a good half hourish of stuff!

I've finally chosen a piece. Claude Bolling's 'Toot Suite' for tpt, the Allègre from that, for the core (Mus of last 25 years) - but with lots of cuts and erasures. I'm screwed for performance, and I've only got one to do! Oh well... its standard and mark will be proportional to how much I bothered...

 

[Circles]

im a singer performing
Silent Noon - Ralph Vaughan Williams (classical sorta thing :S)
How High The Moon - jazz standard rearranged
Smoke - Ben Folds Five
Love Your Way - Powderfinger

umm yea.. thats about it.. some of them are pretty lame.. but they show variation and blah blah.. been learning since start of year.. what kind of music do u guys actually listen to? coz i know that these arn't an accurate representation of my musical taste :S

 

[CarinaT]

Willy Wagglestick's Walkabout!! haha i play piano too and was going to do this one but instead im doing triplet falls...its in the same book i think...i like slower jazz music better

In my opinion, jazz music rules.
It's fun to play and to listen whether slow or fast.
Slow jazz is beautiful and fast jazz is impressive.

I have to do my Trial performance tomorrow..wish me luck!

DMB Fan, good taste in music. The Chili's are my fav. band so I kind of HAD to do one of their songs, and why not a classic form their best album. Are you doing the solo Frusciante does, or just basing it around E?
