Little Lion Man|

Looking at Ed Sheeran and his music for inspiration I realised if I did choose to do one of his songs it would be really difficult for me to change the melody or tempo as his songs are quite slow and paced to start with and I also didn't’t want to pick a song that was to cliché. I then thought about picking a song that was fast and upbeat something that used a lot of instruments meaning I could remove all of the instruments and change the instrument. The song I chose was ‘Little Lion Man’- Mumford and Sons. I love this song and thought it could really work if I took all the instruments out and just played a melody with either a guitar or piano or maybe both.

Myself and Chloe sat on the piano and worked out how I wanted the piano chords to be and when I wanted them to come in, and I had another one of my friends to play the guitar.

When putting this together we found that the guitar still sounded too similar to the original and the piano was to high for the guitar so when I edited them together they didn't’t play nicely in sync together and we found that Chloe's range would’t reach either of them as one was to high and the other being to low. This meant I had to change my song .
