I already knew most of the chords for the verse and chorus of the track, so there wasn&#8217;t much I needed to learn for the rest of the song. In the rehearsal video above I played normal chords for the bridge rather than arpeggio, as I struggled learning the chords for the bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this performance went quite well. There were a few times whereI did slip up a little bit. For example, I planned to do a bit of a build up towards the end of the bridge before the final chorus, but completely forgot until the last second. Therefore, the build up I did manage to do didn&#8217;t sound too great. This is something I can improve for the mock performance on Monday. I can either do this by incorporating a better buildup into the bridge, or I can ask Nic to help me learn the original chords for the bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though it was only a small cafe performance, I was still a bit nervous. I did feel as though I was a little underprepared and could&#8217;ve practiced more with Millie prior to the performance. This is something I will definitely take on board for the mock and also the final showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Millie and Leoni rehearsal\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IbBkhs39LHc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>&#8216;Someone Like You&#8217; rehearsal &#8211; 16\/5\/22<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a rehearsal we did before the official mock performance. While this one went significantly better than it did last week, it was still far from perfect. Again, I was nervous before the performance. This is something I do need to work on more. I could research into some techniques to calm my nerves before performing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mock Performance (16th May)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/odmDVcy0fOM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;cherry blossoms&#8217; &#8211; 21:22<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within my presentation for my song, I wasn&#8217;t fully prepared with what to say. Therefore, I ended up stuttering a little. For the final showcase, I need to script what I would like to say so that this doesn&#8217;t happen again.
