I'm gonna audition for a big, important school soon. It's called Chetham's School of Music, and is located in Manchester UK. I live in Norway. So to get in, I have to make a good impression! Since I live so far away, I get to send an audition DVD.
The problem is, what songs should I play? I play the piano, and I sing. I need suggestions, I'm terrible at that myself. I've already decided to play In the Hall of the Mountain King and Für Elise. But I need someone else to pick the last 2-3!! >.< I wanna play a new song, not a classic. So that they know I can play other than classic x]

These are the sheets I've already got.
New suggestions other than those I've got is also good, I can get sheets easy as snap =] I just need help to figure out what songs!! D:

Please help me!! =D

try and Evanescence piece. My Immortal or Hello would probably impress them the most. Snow White Queen would probably make them go all "oooooooooh!" too. or Lithium. My Immortal is pretty simple, though. Which is why I like it the best! Wink

Good Riddance sounds pretty good on piano and it's kind of hard (just a little), but it's kind of overused, I guess. Pick something really "oomphy" and different.

Disney songs are cool too!

Also, there's a nice piece my brother was learning a while ago. Miriage D'Amor. Arabesque is cool too. It's really fast and fun.

Dunno if I helped, but...yeah.
