When performing a different piece with a new video take, candidates MUST say/show the opening speech again. This is to ensure the performance were specifically recorded for the year-end competition.

The video is encouraged to be creative, but this is NOT a must. Here are some ideas for reference:
-
Perform with other musician(s).

For candidates who have mastered more than one instrument, they could make a video where they played different instruments.
-
A performance video in which one person plays multiple parts of the music is allowed.
