Term 4 Video- 7

In this video practice i played the last ending of the performance and the original song. I played it memorised and was able to do it quite well. However, the tempo was quite not good, it began to become faster as i played, so i need to becareful when playing it. There were also some wrongs that may be caused because i didnt fully memorised the song. Next time i need to practice some more so that i will not play with any mistakes.

In this second practice this week i played the ending and the original song of the performance. This practice was better than last one because the tempo is more stable. However there were some mistakes, and the ending was weird. I forgot the ending and repeated it for several times which was bad. I need to practice the ending more with and without my group, reread the notes and try to play it as many as possible this week for next week's assessment.

Term 4- Video 6

Today in this video i played my jazz song in one go again. Thankfully, i have had memorised . However there were mistakes and sometimes i forgot the notes on the way and have to try pressing other notes to remember. It was quite alright and the tempo was also good but i need to really play fluently next time. I should practice more and try to play more slowly since in this video i played quite fast. I need to think first before i press and if i play it slowly ill be able to memorise it.

In this video i played Summertime again. I played it with little mistakes and i played it memorised. The tempo was still slow and quite unsteady since i am trying to avoid mistakes but there were less mistakes and i managed to remember all the notes. I need to play with no mistakes. However i am still lacking in fluency and i need to be able to play it fast and steady in the assessment. Therefore i should practice more and try to increase the tempo on my next practice.

Term 4 Video- 5

In this video there are stops because i am trying to memorise the whole song, i didn't palyed the whole song though because it is just a repitition. I changed my way of playing the song because i need to keep the tempo easier for the others to hear and keep on. I also need to emphasize the bass of the song. Its quite boring but i need to try my best. Next time i need to play it slower so that there will be no stops and i can memorise it easily.

In this video i played the song slower than before to memorise it. I pressed the piano hard so that in the real performance the sound of the piano can be heard since the others instruments are loud. However it kinda sounded bad because i pressed it too hard i need to press it more lightly and maybe staccato next time. The tempo was quite okay but it was quite unsteady. I still need to practice more because i forgot the notes in the way that made me to have stops.

Term 4 Video- 4

In this video i played my jazz melody again with no repitition since im just playing the bass not improvisations. I played it quite slowly because i need to catch and remember the tempo first. In the first playment i didn't remember the tempo and it was quite weird and bad to hear as the tempo is a mess. I need to practice more and slowly for me to remember the tempo first then i need to try playing it faster. I also need to practice more because there were many wrongs.






In this video i played the jazz melody again to prepare for the jazz assessment. I am playing the whole song now but i don't think i got the order correctly and for the tempo, i almost got it i need to practice more though to master it. Since i am the one who leads the bass chord too i need to add more power in my playing by playing the song more frequently. In this video my playing was quite bad, there were many wrong and next time need to improve it by practicing more and avoid mistakes, maybe play it more slowly.

Term 4 Video- 3

In this video i tried to play my Jazz music with the new style that Mr Harry gave me. It was quite hard and i practiced it fast this time which is why i got the tempo confused and there were some mistakes. In this playment i focused on the bass and the chords because i need that for my Jazz group playment to sound better and more creative. The ending were also quite different and im still trying to figure it out. I need to practice it more slowly so that i my hands and mind could memorise and go on with the tempo then i could increase the tempo. I would need to make myself to get used to the style to by practicing it more.





In this video i still forgot to slow down the tempo when i played my melody and made some mistakes. My fingers and the tempo, the style was different and im confused. I need to make myself to be used to it first by practicing more of the song. The ending in this video is also quite good but i still want to try new endings and try to see if it fits when we play it in the group. I need to slow down and try to keep my left hand in the beat because it is hard. I think adding variations with my left hand is harder than it is on the right. Which is why i need to practice it more slower. I will practice more of this melody and changes in the future.

Term 4 Video- 2

In this video i played the jazz melody of Summer Time again. I didnt play the whole song and the tempo was quite wrong. I kind of increase the tempo in the middle of the song because i was in quite a hurry, i should be more calm next time. There were also some mistakes and it is hard to practice with a picture on the phone, i should transfer it to a paper soon. I should practice more slowly so that i could have a stable tempo and for me to memorize the song to prepare for my assessment performance on May. I should also add some improvisations too.





In this video i played the melody again with a slower tempo to make it easier to memorize the song but it is quite stable although there were wrongs and destroyed the tempo quite a bit. There is still no new improvisations and i didnt play the whole song again. However, i tried to change the ending in this video and created 2 types of ending but it didn't went so well and i still need to improve it. I will need to practice more and try to see if there are some place to add improvisations with. I am also still using my phone as the notes, on my next practice i should already transfer it.

Term 4 Video- 1

In this video i practiced my jazz song for my assessment in groups. I didn't play all of the song because it is just a repitition so i just played the main notes and chords. There were still some mistakes and i had many stops in the middle and the beginning was a mess too. Thankfully, the tempo was done quite nicely. It is because i haven't been practicing well thesedays. I am also not familiar with the chords and are still searching for it all over, repeating the notes which was really horrible. I will need to practice this song a little bit slower and more frequently next time.
In this video i practiced my jazz song again. As usual i didn't play the whole song but just the notes which are not repeated. I played it twice and quite fast. I forgot to play it slower i was also looking at a phone not a book so it is harder to see. Next time i need to practice slower so that my hand could memorize the changes of chords, movements and i could play it without mistakes. In this video i played the song quite well but it was too fast and there were stops and mistakes. However i still need to practice it more so that i could avoid mistakes when i am feeling nervous and practice my fingers because i haven't been playing piano lately.
