Improvements for individual piece.....

From listening to my piece it is clear that some parts do need improving.
At the start of the piece you would of heard that the block chords at the start are very strong and heavy which are due to the recording quality , another way that I could improve this is by using the sustain pedal which lets the notes last out that little bit longer which makes the notes smoother. 

A technique to improve this is a using a technique called ‘Split chords’ .

This means you can play two notes one after the other with the sustain pedal down which makes the chords sound delicate. 

There is also a few gaps in the piece I have created which you can hear quite clearly. This is because of the way I have done my piece on Pro Tools as I have copied some bits of the music for it to be repeated. When doing this in the feature I should listen back to my music a lot closer so I can spot silly mistakes like that. I need to make sure it also flows nicely throughout the piece to give it that smooth melody.

To also help it match my story a bit more I would use the sustain pedal more to create that soft feeling when the notes are playing and also use more of a range of the piano to vary the melody.

Artists such as ‘Phillip Glass’ and ‘Ludovico Einaudi’ vary the melody by using the sustain pedal ina very similar way – for example in one of Phillip Glass pieces ‘Glassworks’ it is very clear that you can hear him using the sustain pedal as you can hear how smooth the notes are and that he does not keep his foot down continuously, Glass puts his foot down when he plays a new note to stop all the notes building up which will allow the audience to hear each note smoothly.
