Hey guys, here's a video of 'Pirates of The Caribbean' songs played by a professional orchestra, hope you'll listen to it since you're going to play it soon. Its a really beautiful piece, very expressive, emotional and even majestic at certain parts.

I got goosebumps from listening to the orchestra play the piece. "Bravo!"
*standing ovation*

I hope you will practise at home during the weekend and aim to play like the orchestra in this video.




OK.. So now that you've watched the video, GO PRACTICE! LOL~
