Ok so i am graduating out of high school in a week. I am trying to get into a private music school. My main instrument will be laptop and at the audition is in three parts:

1. show some music
2. theory
3. talk about why i want to go there and so on.



Well my live part is gonna be a split. part one will be a premade medley to show some of my musical sides.
The second part is gonne be a loop jam.

I would really digg if someone could give me some feedback on my medley.

Hi kristoffer1989,

Overall it was a pretty nice mix. The song transitions were well done and had an easy to listen to flow.

I felt the last (Is that James Brown?) portion was a little out of place though.

Mostly I enjoyed the beginning and middle portions. They were breezy and very smooth.

This is all of course just my opinion as an amateur performer and a professional "I knows what I likes" listener. Good luck with your education goals.

Hi mate.. I think it's good..

Like the previous poster said, I too enjoyed the beginning and middle parts most..
I Love James Brown, don't get me wrong. What I suspect you're trying to achieve is to end on a 'high', and show some more of your influences. Well you get there! It just seems a little out of context, that's all. Maybe you could introduce that sound in someway a little earlier, so it becomes more a part of whole thing rather than being sort of tacked on, if you know what I'm trying to say..

However if I was your tutor I'd give you a BIG thumbs up!

Go for it.. You GOT the FEELING!

Best

thank you SO MUTCH. Really apriciate the inout here. I have listned to it some times and i think i'll skip the james brown sampling at the end.

ill figure out some other ending and yes the thought was to show some other input and to stop in a high.

If anyone else has some input i'd really like to hear it=)
