Why doesn't she like it? It's an impressive song. The fill just after the 4 minute mark between the sidestick and the hi-hats is insane!

Well apparently it's "Too repetitive." I really don't think she listened to it And she said the backing track might be a problem because there's a metronome on it, but my drum teacher has been giving it to people doing their Leaving for years and it's never been a problem, so I'm arguing my case as soon as we get back!

I'm singing these six:

Don't Explain- Nina Simone
There You'll Be- Faith Hill
Maybe This Time- Cabaret
Your Daddy's Son- Ragtime
Lascia Ch'io Pianga- Handel
An Irish Mother- Percy French

I hope those are okay choices :/

I did grade 8 piano last year, il probably do 6 piano tunes but i only have 3 or 4 so far! if any one has any suggestions that would be great!
I'm doing
1. Clair de Lune- Debussy
2. Maple Leaf rag- Scott Joplin
3. Prelude and Fugue XV- Bach

I'm hoping to do a really modern one, maybe something like prokofiev? and maybe a film theme, but I want like really interesting tunes! any suggestions?

Hey lads, I have a quick question maybe some one could answer!
I play classical & Trad flute, and I was wondering if I can do these as one instrument? Like 3 & 3, or 4 pieces on one 2 on the other?
Is this possible or do I have to do 4 & 4? Even my teacher is at a loss!
Cheers

Im a bass player and im doing 4 songs with backing tracks and music tech (btw im repeating) my pieces are

1.Don't stop me now - Queen (backing track of main vocal and piano)
2.Stone cold bush - Red hot chilli peppers (backing track of just the drums)
3.Helsinki jam - Muse (live) (backing track of just the drums)
4.Minority - Green day (backing track guitar vocals and drums)

I decided to go with a lot of contrasting pieces, nothing too difficult and playing with both my fingers and a pick also using bass fuzz for the helsinki jam.

Can someone tell me if there is a problem with me using those kind of backing tracks?? i'm an external student repeating this in my old secondary school and revising myself.

(edit: wrong queen track)

Classical and trad flute are counted as the same instrument, see here,

http://www.examinations.ie/schools/Info_note_2012.pdf

so do any combination which adds up to 6 pieces

Good luck!

No problem at all, you just have to ensure there's no bass on the backing tracks. I use the same kind of backing tracks for drums, they're perfectly fine

I got my music teacher to come round to the idea of the song that I originally intended to play, so all is well!

I'm only grade 6 violin but I'd like to get a pretty decent grade in the practical, a high B low A would be perfect! Only looking for around a B3 overall.
Not even sure of my actual pieces yet but something along the lines of:
Pie Jesu - Andrew Lloyd Webber
Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold
Hoe Down - Aaron Copeland
Canon in D - Pachelbel
Air on G - Bach
I've a few Irish pieces thats names I'm not sure of but I've a slow air and jig!
Basically going to pick four of them, probably wont be Hoe Down and Afterlife because Hoe Down could go wrong easily and Afterlife is a bit... Different.

Hey everyone, I'm doing my music practical too this year but I'm seriously stuck for songs! :/

I'll be singing and playing the guitar / music technology

I need 4 songs and I only have 1 picked yet (Damien Rice - Cannonball).
My guitar playing is average but my voice is quite good. I'm being marked on my voice.

Anyone have any suggestions at all for other songs? I'd really appreciate some help...

[PictureFrame]

Finally decided on my Practical, now I need to perfect them in order to get an A1 in Music!

I'm doing Music Technology (Badinerie JS Bach) and 4 Piano

Gigue from Suite in D minor HWV 437- Handel
Etude op 47 no 15- Stephen Heller
Adagio- Baldassare Galuppi
Sonata in E flat Major, K282 second movement, Menuetto I and II- Mozart
