Group Composition (GROUP 1)

This was our first rehearsal as a group. We decided to make a song in a Bb major and for the verse, we played the chords = Gm Bb F and played the chorus in the chords= Eb Gm Bb Eb Eb Cm.  End on Cm.

Structure=

  • Verse
  • Chorus
  • Verse
  • Chorus
  • Chorus
Lyrics=
Give me a sign
I need to know if you are the one
 will you be mine
so please give me a sign.
event though it hurts I’m going to break your  heart
so forget that we talked it’s not you it’s me

so please forgive me  2x

 

To improve our song we decided to add drums and bass to our song, another way we need to improve our song is to write new lyrics for the chorus because they don’t make sense, however, I need to think about one more verse to make the song interesting. I also need to learn my parts and when I need to sing and when I don’t sing.
New Lyrics:

Give me a sign

I need to know, are you the one?

Will you be mine?

So please give me a sign

We may be strangers

But I want you to have my heart

I love it when we talk

I want to do that more

So please can we talk

Give me a sign

I really want to know

When you will call my phone

And tell me you want to be mine

We may be strangers

But I want you to have my heart

I love it when we talk

I want to do that more

So please can we talk

We may be strangers

But I want you to have my heart

I love it when we talk

I want to do that more

So please can we talk

 

 

Overall I think that our ensemble composition was successful and that we all did pretty well and created a successful song. We all knew our parts and when we should start singing or playing. We made a song that has 2 verses and a chorus. However, there are many things I should improve like remembering my lyrics but also trying to practice writing more songs so I get better at songwriting. I still need to improve on my stage presence and try to talk to the crowd and in this performance, I haven’t spoken to the crowd at all to improve in this I need to perform more and learn how to look confident on the stage. I think that as a group we need to improve on our stage presence and maybe working on our song structure too like adding a bridge section or maybe changing the key of the song on the second chorus. we also need to work o our dynamics and balance them out on the verse and the chorus. In my opinion, this performance was successful but if we would practice more maybe outside fo college it would be even better.
