okay,i'm singing for a leprosy home,its an annual visit with my the company my mother work in.i performed there last year too,the people are really nice and although their life is not really wonderful they seemed happy to me.okay last year i sang if we hold on together-diana ross from the motion picture,Land Before Time.Like the birdpark performance i had to choose the song i wanted to sing,this time i had no restriction of a theme and was rather free to choose whatever song i pleased,but i really think that songs that encourage people and old classics will be most appropraite as the people there are not say of a very young generation.So after much much consideration,i decided to do I will always love you-Whitney houston.its a classic song which almost everyone should know and its pretty touching.so like the birdpark performance as well i had to choose whether i wanted to use a backing track or do a acoustic version of the song using my guitar.in the end i went along with the acoustic version with my guitar as finding a backing track in my key is quite difficult and by using the guitar i can tune it to any key i want so its really easy to get my key.So i went to www.e-chords.com this time to find my chords,i practised and practised to get my guitar chords right,hear the song many times over to get the feel of the song and to roughly hear the lyrics,next i had to memorise the lyrics of the song.i just keep practising and i recorded myself singing to hear how i sounded,and on the places where improvement can be made.Although im going to perform at a leprosy home and some of the people might not know how to appreciate music,but i still have to give it my best,so i practised alot.After the performance i feel very satisfied that i could do something for those people at the leprosy home and that i have somehow helped them in a way!=DLabels: lifeskill project
