This week I talked to a professional. His name is Stephen Tan; he’s very nice. He gave me some suggestions on my piece, mostly making the return of the A section different every time. I didn’t change much, just that. We talked for about 15 mins, the final product will be below:
I have begun to learn the song, hopefully should be done by next week. I have managed to learn A, B and A2 sections. My progress in the song will be recorded below.
As well as that, my parents and I have been working on finding a professional composition teacher from RCM, and we have found a few, including potentially Brendan, Cameron Watson, Cyndi J. Connah and Galen Noland. I will be sending emails to them between this blog post and the next one.
I’m finally done! Section C is completed, and with that, A3 as well, since all the A’s are the same. The coda is very simple, since I don’t quite know how to write a coda. My coda is simply a higher tonic chord followed by a lower tonic chord. Other than that, I don’t have much to say about the piece itself, you can refer to the image below. I have also added rehearsal marks so that you can understand what is going on.
I also have some new plans going forward. Seeing that I only have 3 weeks left, I’ve come up with Plan D. I will simply edit this piece with professional help instead of writing a new one. In the last week or so, I will start to learn how to perform this piece. I will keep you up to date whether or not I will do it in person or record a video. Right now I still don’t know, I think I will decide next week.
