I definitely did not expect the last Google day to come so quickly... Grace and I are definitely not done yet! We'll meet up this weekend to finish our transitions between songs, and rehearse a bit before our project is ready to be presented.
So yuup, basically what Grace said, we came up with some pretty smooth transitions to go between the short sections that we will use in our final piece. Finding some way to move between keys will be slightly more difficult, but I'm confident that we'll figure it out :) We were also talking maybe having to transpose parts of pieces, but since that would take a while, we'll be spending some quality time with the piano this weekend.

Last Google Day :(
I don't know about the rest of the people in our class but I feel like this year's Google project went by really fast. It's a bit saddening...
Well, anyway.. today Yixin and I actually got some work done. Before we spent a lot of our time just playing the music that we loved. I don't know about you, Yixin, but I think we sounded a lot better when the two of us played together (you or me playing either the right or left hand).
But now that the final Google presentation day is set, I think it sort of jerked us into action :)
We went through all the music that we chose and, considering that it's a medley, we tried to find some transitions that could help mesh all the songs into one. It was actually a lot more difficult than I thought. But luckily for us, a lot of the songs were in the same key so it definitely eased up the process for both of us - being rather inexperienced musicians/composers/medliers (?).
We're definitely not quite at the point to share our project, but I know with effort and time, it'll get there :)

Google Day 3..4?
Grace brought her binder full of music today! So after we went through the four pieces we'll probably use, Grace and I played through pretty much all of her music.
Yuup, so like Grace said below, we attempted to mashup flute and piano parts for Yiruma's "Wait There" today too. Needless to say... it did not work out as well as I thought...
On a happier note, Grace introduced me to this song today:
"Clementine" from the Korean drama "Spring Waltz"
I think this is the most beautiful version I have ever heard <3

GOOGLE DAY
Today Yixin and I worked on our project again. We still didnt get the chance to work with a real REAL piano but the keyboard was sufficient. We initially wanted to do a medley of just piano but Yixin discovered the song Wait There by Yiruma which would work great with a flute and piano. So we attempted to work on that today. Both of our flutes were completely out of tune so it was a bit difficult toget through without cringing everytime we peaked to the high notes but it was overall a very productive day. So productive, as a matter of fact, that we completely lost track of time and went up to the bell :)
