Internation Day Brainstorming

1st Idea: Group performance singing a mashup of songs from different countries 

Resources: 

-3 voices for 3 part harmony 

-Microphones 

-Piano 

Pros: 

-Displays a variety of songs, so may be in a way more interesting for audience

-Diversifies performance 

Cons: 

-Difficult to construct and structure mashup in a short period of time 

-May sound empty without instruments 

Link to International Day: 

It shows internationalism as the songs will be from different countries portraying a final diversified piece. 

2nd Idea: Solo performance singing a song about world togetherness

Resources: 
-Microphone
-Karaoke

Pros: 
-It will nicely start the function as it is song about world unity
-Since it is individual it will not rely on others

Cons: 
-May be difficult to find karaoke in right key

Link to International Day: 
It basically would be song displaying internationalism, a song like 'we are the world'. This would be good as it's connecting all countries and the lyrics show strength between them.

3rd Idea: -Group performance singing a popular song in different languages 

Resources: 
-3 voices for 3 part harmony
-3 Microphones
-Guitar

Pros: 
-Since it is a popular song, it will easily the catch the audience's attention
-The MFL languages being taught in classes are the languages that we will sing in

Cons: 
-May be hard to pronounce and enunciate words correctly
-May be hard to memorise lyrics

Link to International Day: 
3 languages from 3 different countries will be sung (Spanish, French and English).

4th Idea: - Perform a famous composers song 

Resources: 
-Microphone
-Karaoke

Pros: 
-Since it is a famous song, it will easily the catch the audience's attention
-It will be done individually, so no need of reliance on others.

Cons: 
-May be not be as exciting as some of the other performances
-Doesn't necessarily relate to international day

Link to International Day: 
It will be song that was originally composed by someone from their native country will some cultural effects part of the song.

Eventually, I have decided to go with idea #3- group performance singing a popular song in different languages. I think this would be very unique performance because it's quite a difficult task to master the lyrics in other language and sing them smoothly, while also doing harmony. Additionally, since it is a popular song, the audience will be aware of the song and will therefore be more intrigued to listen.

Music Pitch Notations

4 Musical Clefs

The G Clef (Treble Clef)

The G Clef is so called because it establishes the pitch of G above middle C on the staff. Whatever line the G clef is curled around is G above middle C.The G Clef in use today curls around the 2nd line of the staff, showing the pitch G to be the note on the second line. We also know this as the Treble Clef 

The F Clef (Bass Clef)

The F Clef is so called because it establishes the pitch of F below middle C on the stave. Whatever line the two dots of the F clef are either side of is F below middle C.The F Clef in regular use today has the dots either side of the 4th line of the staff, showing the pitch F to be the note on the fourth line. We also know this as the Bass Clef. 

The C Music Clef (Alto Clef and Tenor Clef)

The C Clef is so called because the the C clef establishes pitch of middle C on the line bisecting the clef. The two C Clefs in use today are the Alto Clef and the Tenor Clef. 

Percussion clefs

The percussion clefs show different instruments on different lines of the stave. These may be different unpitched percusion instruments, or different drums in drum kit. The unpitched percusion clefs look like those below.
