Answer the following questions in full sentences. Then check back to the grading criteria to see if you have met your target grade:

1.     My statement of personal aims:

Think about your contribution to the event and answer the following questions.

a)  Through my performance, I want to achieve more than 10 mins, a better confidence and professional skills.   

b) What skills do you have that you can use?

I think that I have a direct focus on the work which I will use to help me achieve these goals I want for the performance.

c)     How will you know if you have achieved it?

I will know if I’ve achieved it because, I would have produced a brave, well played and smooth and that I've been playing for for more than 10 mins.

d)  The way I'll meet the audience's expectations is that I'll imagine that they'll want a performer that is well experienced with their chosen instrument, to have a good attitude towards the set of work they have been set to do (as well as the teacher and head of school), as to what they'll want to hear, I'll imagine that they's want t6o hear smooth and tasteful richness in the notes and pieces and the way a respect the stage and spacing around me. 

2.     Plan of my contribution to the performance

a)   My requirements are that I must stay brave, to perform a solo, play smoothly with the key parts and just be myself.

b)   I intend to perform on stage. I will play the following songs:

1. Banyan Tree                                                These are all in                                                                                   chronological order 
2. Pirates of the Caribbean   (Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer)
3. That's how it goes!
4. Spy Movie
5. Gypsy dance
6. Music of the night   (Andrew Lloyd Webber)
7. Pink Panther (Henry Mancini)

First, I will play Banyan. This will be a good opening song, because it has a smooth and peaceful that I will play professionally. This will be solo performance.  

c)    
To achieve these goals I will:
To help me I will use Monday lessons, practise my skills with my cello teacher and I will record myself and listen if I'm alright with it or if I need to improve it.  

d)   
The resources I will need:
I will only need myself, since is a solo performance. So this means that I need to prepare myself, extend my pieces, find sir to play and copy the soundtracks,

e)    
Things I will need:
I will need my cello, music sheets, music stand, also a CD backing track.

f)     
How much time will I rehearse?
I will  take a reasonable amount of rehearsal time and recording to calculate how much time has already been used.

g)    Health safety such as: volume which needs to be at a stable position, the audience needs to sit a reasonable distance from the stage, so that no human damage goes to them, cables need to be neatly put aside so it's not in anyone's walkway.  

Now type up neatly and clearly your set list for the programme. Make sure it includes full titles of songs, original artists and the names of anyone you will perform it with. 

My set list:

1). Banyan tree: Kathy and David Blackwell (Jamaican) player:Rosie

2). Pirates of the Caribbean: Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer
Player: Rosie

4). Spy Movie: Kathy and David Blackwell player: Rosie

5). Gypsy dance: Kathy and David Blackwell player: Rosie 

6). Music Of The Night: Andrew Lloyd Webber Player: Rosie

Style and Image:

My sense of style will be to wear the school's uniform, not only respect their clothing choice, but to make the school recognised and the amount of hard work has been put into this organisation. this will appropriate because then the audience, no matter the age, will hopefully remember this event and everything about the school. 

Ideas for the performance:

to make this performance run smoothly, I'll maybe need an assistant that will flip through the pieces when I finish one, I'll need a microphone for my cello that'll link to a speak/amp, a CD player for my "cello time runners" pieces and a music stand. get it?

Staging and equipment needs:

the equipment that I'll need is a stand to put my  What equipment do you need and why? 

What are the staging requirements? E.g. space needed, placement of equipment etc.
