The song is appropriate for the VENUE as it is not a really loud song and can be sung quite softly, which suits the small room I will be performing in. The song is appropriate for the AUDIENCE as it talks above love and hardship and the audience is therefore likely to be able to relate to the lyrical content. It has a very sweet melody line, which I also think the audience will appreciate as they will be able to sing along. I have rated this song as a 4 out of 10 for my STAMINA level . This is because it is not overly difficult in the range of the song, however there are some long notes in the song, particularly in the chorus which needs some effort to pull off successfully. I think I would need approximately 2 lessons to REHEARSE this song – this is due to the low difficulty and stamina levels, I think this would be an appropriate amount of time. There are CHORDS available for this song on ultimate guitar chords website, I have checked this and they are also in an appropriate key for my vocal range. I would like the ACCOMPANIST to be piano for this song, as this is how the original is and I think it suits the style of the song as well as being appropriate for the audience and venue. The EQUIPMENT I would need is a piano and a music stand for my accompanist. We have a portable electric piano at school so I will be able to take this with me. To OPERATE the piano, I would just need a pianist – this will be Mr Jones as he is accompanying us to the nursing home and is happy to accompany me for the song.NOTES…………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………….
