I taught myself “Day Tripper” by the Beatles; released in 1965, this song brought the Beatles out their “help” slump. In the process of learning this, I refined my picking ability and can now pick individual strings. Additionally, this song reminds me of middle school because I listened to this song a lot then.

This is a cover of the song “Love Yourself“ by Justin Bieber. The guitarist is Zoe Greenhouse, and the two singers are Candace Hosmer and Bailey Smith. This is our first time performing this as a group. We hadn’t practiced before, and we decided to do this song because it fit our abilities.

One of the first records that I ever owned was a Elton John record. So I see it to be very fitting that I learned how to play Tiny dancer on the piano. Tiny dancer has four main sections that you need to learn in the form and is a very fun song to perform because by using the bridge and chorus, you can change the form as you like it so that it can play differently every single time. I have performed Tiny dancer with singers, solo piano, and with instruments with many different arrangements. For a piano player looking for new material to play as I always am, Elton John is a gold mine. I have always loved music and performing and some day I hope magicly if I could have the voice of Elton John I would love to become a performer.

My garageband composition is a combo of R&B and hip hop beats. It has fuses many types of music together. It has many types. Of my favorite music. It has a good beat after the R&B beginning. I loved making it and I am very proud of it.

This is “Like I’m Gonna Loose You” by Meghan Trainor, covered by two freshmen at VCS. The girl playing the guitar is Zoe Greenhouse, and she loves to strum that thang. The singer is Candace Hosmer, and she loves to bang those vocal chords. They love to work together to cover songs, and will possibly do more in the future.
