What I'm Working On!

Hey! I'm hoping to be finished with two songs from the Always True songbook--23 Free and Tomorrow's Wishes. I really do like 23 Free; it has kind of helped me think of things to try adding into my own compositions. Anyway, I just wanted to update this a bit. Be looking out for those uploads! :)  No promises of when I'll be uploading it...just hopefully soon. :D

New uploads on youtube!

Hi everyone,

I know I promised that I'll upload Clementi sonatina op.36. no.6 somehow I totally forgot about recording it so I guess I can only upload it after my end of year examinations ( 12 of October ). This is probably my last blog post before the examination so wish me luck!

To make up for this delay:
I've uploaded a beautiful piece by Emily Bear - Mary's Hope
 As it was recorded in my friend's apartment and I didn't bring my camera so I didn't get to film it.  The background of my video is edited by a friend of mine, Alexia. ( I do not own it. )



and also Bach's french suite no.6 - polonaise




Bach is really tough to play especially with all those trills so.. I hope you like my music!

Two Original Compositions: Birthday Wishes and September Breeze

I finally uploaded them! Here is Birthday Wishes which is dedicated to my Grandma for her birthday.




I composed this piece two days ago, so it's the newest. I call it September Breeze.

Always True arrived today!!

So the Always True songbook arrived today!! I'm so happy about that! I already started working on 23 Free, and I'm close to finishing the first page! The music for sure is harder than the pieces from The Love in Us songbook. I'm not too familiar with all the pieces that are included, but I'm going to listen to them so that I will be able to work on them with no problems. 

Today I downloaded sheet music software called Muse Score, and I hope to try creating scores for my original pieces. I need to see if I have the right plugs to do that... Anyway, I've composed a piece for my Grandma for her birthday. I haven't named it yet, but I want to record it at some point. I've been lazy with music lately, as you can probably see...

New upload on youtube!

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce that I've achieve distinction for my ABRSM theory exam !

Here is a video of me at age 12, playing Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ballet suite op.20 also commonly known as swan lake! As the video was recorded on phone, it is in portrait instead of landscape... srry  :p



And I don't think I'll be uploading as often due to the upcoming school examinations. I take up 9 subjects in school , so I guess I'll be really busy...

The next piece that I'll be uploading will most probably be by Bach I think :) Do you all like Bach? Do feel free to leave me comments!
