1. Musicians who have inspired me 
Lorde and  Taylor swift are to singers that have inspired me because I like their music because it makes me happy and feel positive they are strong women who have made a success of their lives and musichttps://www.lorde.co.nz/
https://www.taylorswift.com/releases

2. My instrument is the piano. The first true piano was invented almost entirely by one man—Bartolomeo Cristofori (16551731) of Padua, who had been appointed in 1688 to the Florentine court of Grand Prince Ferdinando de' Medici to care for its harpsichords and eventually for its entire collection of musical instruments.

3 What is left to rehearse in your song? I need to practise more and keep the time right
What do you need to do during this weeks practise? Same as above. Is there anything you are worried about? How can you fix it?? How are you feeling about performing in class? I am nervous about performing in front of the class. What are you doing to prepare for this? I don't know what to do.

my song at the moment is Royals by Lorde  

2. Who you are working with and what is each person doing ?
Mrs Beer and we are both playing the piano 

3. What is the song about ( research) and find out original composer 
Lorde wrote the song in half an hour in collaboration with Joel Little and Ella O'Connor
"It's about all this ridiculous and fanciful opulence that's everywhere [in the music market]. Lana Del Rey is always singing about being in the Hamptons, or driving her  Bugatti Veyron or whatever, and at the time, me and my friends were at some house party worrying how to get home because we couldn't afford a cab. This is our reality! If I write songs about anything else then I'm not writing anything that's real." Lorde
What is challenging about this piece of music. I am enjoying learning the notes but have to work on my timing,
