MEET KAYLA!
MEET KAYLA!
Hi! My name is Kayla (She/Her) and I have a lot of experience playing the piano, ever since I was about 5 years old, and I am currently learning the violin, which I started last year!
I was born in Ottawa and currently live in Kanata where I work as a swim instructor. In my free time (if I have any), you will often find me swimming at my local pool or attempting to make a new recipe I found without setting fire to the kitchen (I cannot cook). I am involved in many sports such as badminton, alpine skiing and swimming, and I love playing tennis in the fall season.

"STORM ON A FIELD"
Kayla's Final Composition
"STORM ON A FIELD"
"Storm On A Field" was inspired by an image of dark grey clouds covering the sky above a grass field with mountains in the distance. Featuring the French horn, piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass, my piece reflects this image with its gradual buildup toward an intense storm involving heavy rain and thunder. At the middle of the piece, there is a slight drop representing the sun peaking out of the clouds, only for the clouds to cover the sky again, allowing the storm to resume. At the end, the piece concludes with a sharp note, reflecting the image of a lightning strike. I encourage listeners to envision an oncoming storm that grows into an intense tempest when listening to my soundscape composition, and to notice the various layers of instruments that are added or taken away in order to represent the different stages of the storm.

CHILDREN'S SONG ARRANGEMENT
CHILDREN'S SONG ARRANGEMENT
Row_Your_Boat_Arrangement.mp3This piece is a rendition of the children’s song "Row Row Your Boat", arranged into a gloomier, spookier variation of the song by switching the key of the piece to D Minor. In this piece, I added the flute to provide an eerie-sounding melody, and I added a clarinet to accompany the flute with a spooky-sounding countermelody. A double bass provides a strong bassline and ties the piece together in order to create a scary-sounding variation to the popular children’s song.
