Solo Performance

So far in music I have been learning how to play minuet in g by J.S. Bach . I enjoy playing piano because I learn new songs. I chose minuet because it is easy to play. I found getting the correct fingering challenging. When I got through the song I got hyped because I learnt a new part of the song.I got graded a merit / Excellence. I was happy with my grade. For my next performance, I don't know yet, I am still thinking of a song.   .

Group Performance

In music we are planning to perform Shawn Mendes Lost in Japan we have 5 people in our group and there are (Cameron the pianist), (Alyana the drummer),(Hillary and Tina the Singers) and I (Braxton the Bassist) here is the song that we are doing Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYDVwGnAKFM

The thing that is challenging is running at the same time and it really hard to do some off the chords in the song. I can get some help from Cameron or the group or i can ask my bass teacher how to play the chords or something.
