The "Pre-TED-Talk" Talk (post 4)

What's Happening So Far

So as of right now, I'm preparing for a big presentation tomorrow on my project. I'll pretty much be covering every part of my project like composing it, arranging it, and playing it. As a matter of fact, I'm playing a short part of my piece live which I'm REALLY psyched about. My only worry is that I'll get too nervous and slip up. Other than that, I feel pretty confident in myself and my presentation.

Quote of the Day


 Well anyway, here's another musical quote that I thought best represented my project so far:

So you see, even one of the greatest geniuses in the world found his inner musician! This ties in to what the message of my presentation which is the fact that everyone has an inner musician. This is also proof that music is apart of almost everyone's life whether they realize it or not. You don't have to play an instrument or even sing to include music in your everyday activities. It just automatically inserts itself but it will always have a major impact just as Albert Einstein described.

The TED Talk

So if you don't know what a TED Talk is, it is basically an interesting speech about a somewhat new topic. My Ted Talk topic brings out a new perspective on music and musicians themselves. I will also be sharing my passion for music and the fact that I've been playing music since I was little... well littler (lol). I'm also predicting that when I'm done talking, people are going to ask a bunch of questions so I've prepared a few answers as well just in case (dear audience, I can predict your every move).

 

Topics I will be covering:

- The "Inner-Musician"
-  Playing piano and other instruments     
- My project description (obviously)
- The struggles of my project
- A live performance of a short clip of my project     
- Not to mention lots of jokes involving Perlman and McDaniels   

Now to Wrap Things Up

I'm sorry this post may be a little shorter than the others but I still really enjoyed writing this one. I was able to get all my ideas and feelings about my project/ music out because I really, really, really love music. Thank you all so far who have been looking at my blog and commenting, I really appreciate it.

Here is a link to my modern movement!

    It was so cool to see you play, and it was so funny when something fell off of your piano, but up to that part you were playing really well. Your project was awesome, and you're truly passionate about music. It feels really good to be finally done the project, but I hope that you are continuing to write music, because you have a talent for it.

    Ah, an excellent performance, Mr Kilshaw! I liked it a lot and it was better than some of the other presentations (and certainly will be better than mine), nevermind you're just a freshman. You have big things to look forward to next year in Enrichment. I congratulate you again on your performance and I would have given you an A. PS: I was never afraid to confess that I was a shower singer :p

    Great Presentation and I very much liked the piece. I can tell it was surprising to see the top part(too far to see) of the piano had felt like it would be more comfortable on the floor. Both your playing and presentation was outstanding. I can tell that you are extremely enthusiastic about music and I am very glad to have listened.
