Performing Pieces Opinions
on: October 27, 2009, 06:48:41 PM
Hello all, My name is Nick. And I was wondering what piece I should play for my upcoming Senior Recital. I would like to play something that I haven't learned yet. Any ideas on what I shouold learn? To help narrowing down stuff, I like Showy, Fast, and Strong songs. Thanks for helping (that is, if you do type back).

~Nick~
