This is another song that I wrote.
This is by far one of the most important songs to me, because I feel like several people can relate to it. I wrote this a few days ago while reflecting back on being bullied last year. I won't go into much detail about it, but I will say this song is very close to my heart.
I wrote this song on guitar and on piano (as I do with most of my songs), so if you'd like the chords and/or the piano music, I have extra copies, so just ask and I will give it to you. I used a free online program to type out sheet music. (It looks hard, but you could easily learn the piano parts, even without the music.)
Please let me know what you think! If you'd like, I have the ability to remix piano and guitar together, so maybe that could be my video for next week. The link is down below!

Mama Mocha's
Okay so this is a pretty big deal for me. It's the first gig I've ever really done anywhere. I've sang at churches several times, but never a real "gig."
I found out I would be doing this Tuesday. I was pretty nervous, because it was pretty last minute. But I know several songs that aren't mine, so I put together a list of what songs I did and in which order I did them in. I didn't want to use any of mine because most of them are very piano-oriented. Coming home from school everyday, it was the first thing I'd do. I'd do one quick run-through of all of the songs, and then practice the ones that I needed to work on harder.
My dad took me to Spicer's on Thursday to get new strings. (I had mine for several months which doesn't give it a very good sound. When you tune a guitar, it either tightens or loosens the strings, to give it the right pitch. When you do this, it stretches the strings out and over time causes it to give it a dull sound. So, depending on the type of strings, you're really supposed to change them every other month or so. I had mine for almost a year) He let me get a new strap, because my other one broke.
Here are the songs in order:
Roar- Katy Perry
Blank Space- Taylor Swift
A Thousand Years- Christina Perri
Sirens- Cher Lloyd
E.T.- Katy Perry
Hey Jude- The Beatles
Here is the link! It's a thirty minute gig (give or take), so it's a long video. But please enjoy! Let me know how you think I did! Thanks so much!
