Progress so far – Music

Hello everyone.

In Music we are working on a group performance using instruments and singing.

Members Roles

Cate – Piano

Riansha – Drums

Jaren – Ukulele

Mikaela – Bass

Chytel – Piano/Singing

Denise – guitar/Singing

What song did you choose to do and why? – We chose Glitter by Benee since the song is very calm and has a nice beat to it and goes along with the instruments we chose.

What are the challenges of this song? – Its very fast and upbeat to keep up with and it was very hard to find a piano sheet to learn off from.

What are the challenges when working as a group? – It’s hard when all the instruments just clash together when practising, you can’t really hear what you are playing unless everyone else is quiet.

Which part of the song will you be rehearsing this week? – The chorus and the start.
