Disco song rehearsal and class perfomance

The disco song was musically more challenging than the psychedelic one.
The tempo was faster, there were more chords, more words, more changes and a totally different mood than the other song, therefore, it became a challenge.
Playing according the time of the backing track was a lot harder this time and we lose the tempo often. For Natalie this was worse because she had to play the chords in the keyboard really fast, so she practised a lot.
I had to learn the lyrics what I did not thought was complicated until I realized that there were a lot of words in each verse sang fast and that had no story lead for me to hold on, so I ended up learning by repetition.
The last but not least thing we had to worry about was the performance.As it was a song about dancing and having fun, we should not stay petrified, but with all the things we had to sort out first, there was not going to be a performance already.

Psychedelic piece rehearsal and class performance

We had to present our 60's piece in the class in order to have some feedback, so we played it a couple of times before that.
One of the important things that we had to achieve was play according the timing of the backing track, which is the only not living thing in the play, and will continue playing at the same speed no matter what, so that's what I focused on first.
It took us more than one try to set the right volume in order to not lose the beat and listen to ourselves at the same time. We loose the tempo in a couple of times but after a while we started to play more accurately.
In the performance, the most absent thing was that: performance.
We didn't do a lot and, to be honest, a psychedelic state is not easy to represent - for me - without looking sleepy and absent minded, so that was one of the important things to work on for the performance.
