Music-Performing Arts

*What has been your favorite project this year and why?
- So far my favorite was performing.

*What have you found challenging about music this year?
- my most challenging part is when you make your own songs it was challenging cuz 
it was my first time making and it was hard, the worst part is i don't know how to play any instruments
that's why couldn't make my own.

*What advice would you give to the year 10 students 2019?
- 

*Goals for 2019 (could be music related or not if you are not taking music in 2019.)

Performance Evaluation

*What did you perform?

- we performed "On the wings of Love".

*With who?

 - with selepa.

*Why did you choose that song?

 - I chose the song cuz it's easy to play piano with it and its known song for my partner

so we agree to it.

* Were you happy with your performance? why?

 - Yes, cuz its fun to play a music and sing with it, especially when you like the song it was fun when practiced we have a lot of mistakes but behind of that, we have a lot of fun.

*If you could perform again, what would you change?

- to be honest, it was hard for me to sing when we play the song cuz its supposed to be 

slightly high not like high notes but we did the hight notes anyway it was not hard cuz we did the short verse of it was not struggle what I fear was I might change my voice that's. 

Anyways If there's a chance that I would change the song back then I would choose "Something in your eyes"  because it's my masterpiece song I didn't choose the song early cuz the song is not known for my partner so id rather agrees on what we have.

Performance Evaluation

 

Song: Aotearoa 

1. where you happy with your performance?

- when we sing the song together, so far it was fun and scary. because of that, I was not comfortable in performing to everyone and I was like so nervous I don't know what to do but to move on and keep on going it was a bit good experience.

2. How did you feel performing in front of an audience? 

- I was scared and nervous at the same time I couldn't explain how I feel when I was in front of everyone I was and I honestly think that I don't wanna do this anymore but I do enjoy singing a lot.

3. What was your final grade and were you happy with it?

-yes because of we successfully did it and we're proud of it.

4. How could you have improved your performance?

- I would do it better next time keep it up.
