Grace by C. Graham

Calum Graham's "Grace" sounds laidback and relaxing, yet it has a strong connection to the concept of time - the way it moves continuously, like a river bending to its surroundings but also sculpting its environment.

This Charming Man by The Smiths

My cover of "This Charming Man" is a raw and honest cover, not devoid of mistakes or room for improvement. I wanted my cover to portray the challenge it takes to play this song, and the pure musical genius that is Johnny Marr, and I feel my cover encapsulates that energy perfectly.

Liebestraum No. 3 in A-flat Major by F. Liszt

Liebestra¨ume (German for "Dreams of Love") comprises a series of three piano works by Franz Liszt. These works were originally conceived as lieder (songs) based on three poems that described different types of love. Liebestra¨ume No. 3 in A-flat major, the third and most popular work, is the piece that I chose to perform. It is based on a poem about “unconditional mature love.”

Moanin' by A. Blakely, made famous by C. Mingus

I made it so it’s not too long, has a the Bari solo for most of it, some trombone for the background music (note: I’m barely learning to play trombone) and ended it off with a little clarinet solo.

Imagine by J. Lennon

I recently started trying to learn how to sing, and I already knew how to play "Imagine" on piano, so I really just added singing to my playing. I am very new to both however, so it took me a while to actually be able to do both at once.

Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 by F. Mendelssohn

As long as I remember I have loved music. I started to learn to play the violin when I was 4 years old. Except for my great-great grandfather no one in my family has ever played this instrument, so I do not really recall why I asked my parents and insisted that I wanted to learn the violin. I started on a tiny violin and still remember all the Twinkle variations with which I started.
