Preparing for My Performance at Cardiff Keyboard Club

 

With May fast approaching, I’m getting ready for another exciting performance at the Cardiff Keyboard Club. This will once again be a fantastic opportunity to showcase my music, and the preparation is now in full swing. 

Choosing the Setlist 

The first step in my preparations is putting together the perfect setlist. I want to include a mix of styles—something to entertain and engage the audience while also showcasing the capabilities of my Yamaha Tyros 4. I’ll be balancing well-known classics with a few surprises, ensuring there’s something for everyone. 

At the moment, I’m considering a mix of: 
– Instrumental favourites 
– Some upbeat tunes to liven the room 
– A couple of softer, more atmospheric pieces 

One of the tracks I’m currently working on, Crockett’s Theme, may make the cut if it’s polished enough by then! 

Fine-Tuning the Performance 

Once the setlist is finalized, I’ll focus on refining each piece. This means: 
– Ensuring smooth transitions between tracks 
– Practicing intros and endings to make the performance feel seamless 
– Experimenting with registrations and sounds on the Tyros 4 to get the best possible arrangements 

Logistics and Travel Plans 

Since this performance is in Cardiff, I’ll also be planning the travel arrangements. Getting my equipment there safely is a priority, as well as making sure I have everything I need on the day. 

I’m really looking forward to performing at the Cardiff Keyboard Club—it should be a great event, and I hope the audience enjoys what I put together. I’ll share more updates as I progress!
