70's piece

For the 70's piece myself, Reece and Anailia decided to stay in the same group and create a more upbeat song so we went with the genre 'Disco'! 

I was really pleased that we went with Disco because I love the songs ABBA created such as 'Dancing Queen' and also 'Mamma Mia'. (http://www.songfacts.com/artist-abba.php - accessed on 25/5/2015)

So for this piece we decided to again go with an original song which was written by Reece. When discussing what instruments we wanted to play live we went with the keyboard which was played by me and the electric guitar which was played by Reece and Anailia would sing the song with Myself and Reece joining in on the bridges. 

This piece was a challenge for me because not only was I using one hand for the keyboard but I was using both my hands at the same time. This was very new to me because I am in the process of trying to teach myself how to do this without looking down at the keyboard constantly.

Even though there was only four notes to play I did still find it hard and I do need to keep practising whilst I am at home because when we perform this song to our audience I cant be looking down at the keyboard because that will make the piece seems boring and with it being such an upbeat song I knew I had to know what I was doing in order to enjoy myself whilst on stage. 

I have also found some good piano techniques which i feel would benefit me alot!(see next post!)
