Choosing music for your athletic performance doesn't have to be overwhelming. Below are a few tips to help you make a great music choice!
First, TALK!
- Talk to your coach and/or choreographer about your strengths that you want to highlight in your performance.
- Are you a strong tumbler? You may want to choose percussion-based music or perhaps a straight-up rock and roll song.
- If you are a ballerina, you may score well with a classical music piece.
- Do you have a fun personality that always shines through? You may want a piece of 50's music, something from Broadway ..... or perhaps a cartoon music track.
- Yes, you get it .... your music reflects you!! So, talk about exactly what strengths you want to reflect!
Second, LISTEN!!
- Once you've determined your style of music -- start listening!
- Listen carefully -- your music reflects you and you will perform to this music for at least one competitive season, if not two!
- One word of caution: Be careful not to fall in love with the first song you hear. Instead, be open and willing to listen to several songs.
- Remember, you are listening to music NOT lyrics ..... Try not to sing along as you LISTEN … at the same time, be sure that the music engages you!
- Our music demos can be heard on-line 24/7 in their entirety -- no short samples @ Energym Music OR …..You can order demo cds from our web-site for your listening pleasure!
Finally, CHOOSE!!!
- Narrow your choices to 2-4 songs.
- Play them for your choreographer and/or coach.
- Together, choose a song that you love -- if you love your music -- you will perform well and the judges will watch your every move!!
Have a Great Season & Enjoy Your Energym Music
