I will be changing the pattern and the rhythm of the music several times in the piece so it doesn’t seem to repetitive. My piece is approximately 2 minutes long and at the end I will repeat the beginning again.

Dynamics are important in my piece of music so I will be changing the tone by using staccato and legato notes. I will also change the tempo of it when I think it is necessary. I am going to record it in the music studio instead of using a computer program. I think this a good choice for me because as I will do it on the piano I can use the pedal and create better dynamics. How ever I will have to make sure I can learn it well as I will not have many chances to re-record ...
