My music performance experiences last October #1

Last October, I had 2 performances, one where I did as a piano accompaniment with a band with some very nice girl singers and one I had in in my company’s anniversary, where I play and sing in front of many happily eating audiences.
 

 
Prior to these performances, I would like to share some experiences.

The one where I did the piano accompaniment, I did that in front of crows of about 500, in a concert hall. http://www.singwithpiano.com/2008/10/photos-from-my-music-performance/.

They were graudates of a long distance school in Singapore, which was their graduation ceremony. The songs were meant to be entertaining, as the last item after prize and certification presentation.

I was very worried of making a mistake, as it was very easy to be heard, with that good sound acoustic of that hall with the 2 microphones very close to the piano strings.

What I did to prepare myself for 2 songs:

- I had about 4 weeks to prepare and finalize the songs. First I had to mae sure the girls can sing the key that we are gonna play.

 
- Then I had to come out with the chords, and all thanks to the band’s guitarist where he wrote some of the chords, merging with mine.

 
- I had to think of an Intro http://www.singwithpiano.com/2008/10/self-composed-introduction-for/, because the organizer wants one.

 
- I was so stressed when they had book the piano for $250/day for 2 days, which I merely used it for less than 30 mins.

 
- Once the piano chords and singers part were finalize, I started my full concentration on memorizing the parts and chords. Because in the song there’s a change in key to a higher one, I wil need to transpose up 1 key, which means I have 2 sets of chords to memorize. Not forgetting there’s only piano and guitar for one of the songs.

 
- During the actual rehearsal, I had played the wrong chords on 2 occasions(oops!) and it was in a relaxed state. I couldn’t really hear the speakers and the sound of the hall, because all I could hear was from the piano itself, so I didn’t know how it felt like to listen from the audience seat.

 
-For that whole period, I played and repeated the 2 songs almost 200 hundred times! In spite of that, it was all hard work.
 

 
On the actual day, everything went smoothly and after all it’s all music.

I hope my experiences are fruitful for those who are preparing themselves for performance too.

去年10月，我曾第2表演，一个在我作为一个钢琴伴奏与乐队的一些很不错的女孩和一名歌手我在我在公司的周年，我在那里弹琴唱歌前的许多观众愉快地进食。

之前，这些表演，我想分享一些经验。

一，我没有钢琴伴奏，我没有在前面的乌鸦的大约500名，在音乐厅举行。 http://www.singwithpiano.com/2008/10/photos-from-my-music-performance/ 。

他们graudates的长途学校在新加坡，这是他们的毕业典礼。该歌曲是为了得到娱乐，作为最后一个项目后，奖金和证书格式。

我非常担心的决策是错误，因为它很容易被听到，与良好的声音声的大厅2麦克风非常接近钢琴琴弦。

我就是这样做的准备自己的2首歌曲：
-我有大约4周的准备和完成的歌曲。首先，我不得不湄确保女孩可以唱的关键，我们一定发挥。

-然后，我不得不出来与和弦，并感谢所有乐队的吉他手在他写的一些和弦，合并地雷。

-我想一个简介 http://www.singwithpiano.com/2008/10/self-composed-introduction-for，因为组织者希望之一。

-我是如此强调，当他们的钢琴书为2 50/day2天，我只是用它不到3 0分钟。

-一旦钢琴和弦和歌手参加了最后，我开始全力集中于记忆的部件和和弦。因为在这首歌有变化，关键更高，我需要织了1转的关键，这意味着我有2套和弦背诵。不要忘记，只有钢琴和吉他的一个歌曲。

-在实际排练，我发挥了错误的和弦2次（哎呀！ ） ，它是在轻松的状态。我不能听到的发言和健全的大厅，因为所有我能听到来自钢琴本身，所以我不知道如何感觉喜欢听观众席位。

为这整个期间，我发挥和反复的2首歌曲近200个100倍！尽管如此，这是所有辛勤工作。

实际一天，一切都进展顺利，毕竟这是所有的音乐。

我希望我的经验是富有成果的那些谁正在准备自己的表现了。
