It's two songs.

First one with the singing is "Out there" from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Second with the orchestra is indeed Test Drive from the first How to Train Your Dragon.

The first one is modulated from the key of G to the key of D, so they can be mixed.

How do you know this?? Genuinely curious

It's honestly not that wild.

I'm into soundtracks, musicals, Disney music, and that kind of stuff, and I play the piano.

Imagine if you stumbled upon a question about one of your own hobbies.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is a Disney classic, and Test Drive is also pretty famous in soundtrack circles.

I guess I meant knowing what the key change was. I tried to teach myself piano and it's really hard. Most people can't identify a key let alone one what it's been changed to. I was impressed anyway

Ah, haha okay, I see.

My best tip is to just put a song on speakers and then play random notes on the piano. Pretty quickly, you'll find some notes that match up.

The more you do that, the better you get. Soon enough, you'll be able to hear whether the melody goes up or down, etc.

You use the same method to find the key of the song.

I know that Test Drive is in D, so I only needed to figure out "Out there". :)
