So I had a percussion concert at
my music academy where all students who play the percussions played
their pieces. I played all the pieces I've practiced this year which
means 6 pieces. I played a piece on the marimba, Whoopie, one on the
vibraphone, Cross, one on the set-up, one on the snare-drum 1. etude from the 'Douze études pour
Caisse-Claire', one on
the timpani 15. etude of R. Hochrainer and one on the drumset Solo #7. These are the pieces I've also
prepared for the entrance exams of the conservatories next year. My
favourite piece to play was defenitly the drum piece because the
drums is my favourite instrument out of all instruments ever. I
noticed a few mistakes here and there. But it's good that this
concert took place because now I know what are the things I have to
work on. Infact the next percussion lesson we went through half of
the pieces to check the things that i need to improve. I was meant to
play last but I asked to go first because I had school work to do.
Playing infront of an audience is always a good experience and
everytime you learn something more. At this stage, I've done so many
performances that I don't get nervous anymore, it's becoming more and
more a routine. Obviously it depends in what situation one is, but
most of the times the most important thing is to enjoy the music and
concentrate on what you are doing without thinking about the size of
the audience.
