Song List
- Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi
I started to lean Someone You Loved in the summer with my piano teacher. I picked to perform this song as I really enjoy listening to it. It is also not too hard to play, it also doesn't sound too hard to play.
I rehearsed by myself, as I was focusing on the first part of the song. I wanted to ensure that I was getting the timing right - before moving on to the rest of the song.
During my rehearsal session my tutor Jane came in to see how I was doing during practice. While she was here - I played a small section of my song for her to hear. She gave me feedback on this and suggested that I could use a backing track to get the timing right. She also said that I could use my sustain pedal more during my performance to make it sound better.
Things that went well…
- My hand placement for this song is getting better - more practice will help with this.
- I feel like my timing is improving with practice.
Things to improve on…
- I could get better at the timing by playing against a backing track during my rehearsals. Which ensures that I will be prepared for when the singer joins me in rehearsals. I can play against the backing track in future rehearsals to get my timings correct.
- Using the sustain pedal more frequently to make the song sound more full. This would ensure that the audience would enjoy my performance more. why do we use a sustain pedal?
- As a whole these things can both be improved with more practice and more time.
Further progress…
- Learning the second half of the song - I can do this, by learning it with my piano teacher.
- I can also add more songs into my repertoire - with plans to preform them during the performance.
