Although not my best work with this piece, I was quite fond of it. I enjoyed the beginning largo section that would then cut to a fast-paced allegretto. In comparison to my other pieces, this is definitely different and is slightly improvised. This piece being classical allows for more depth in my abilities, especially considering the other two pieces. I knew that I had to display some other type of ability other than singing and the piano, so I decided to play one of my favorites pieces. I took the liberty of improvising some parts in order to create a better ambiance with the overall excerpt as well as attempt to showcase another ability of mine.

Czardas Excerpt- Victoria Wiley

This piece by Billie Eilish was more for my sake than anything else. The way in which the song progresses from mellow to extremely dramatic is what attracted me most to the piece. I didn't want to do a simple cover of an already overdone song. Instead, I decided to be liberal about the piece and put a bit of my flare to it. Having been proven unable to use a DAW program, I wanted to take a different route. With a strong connection to this song, I believe that this piece is one of the stronger of the three.

In an attempt to showcase my other skills, I decided to perform a cover of Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan. Along with my cover of Billie Eilish, I wanted an older song to describe my feelings in the subject of music. This song describes my being although being extremely simplistic. Again, I added some of my flares to the overall piece in order to make the song more my own. I went about the song attempting to reflect more folk/soul roots. I knew that I didn't want to do pop covers for my portfolio and so I came upon the idea of covering this simple song.
