Term 3 video- Week 6

In this video i practiced my 12 blues bars composition just with my right hand because i just started to play it. It was kind of hard because i cant really play the right tempo and i need to retry it quite a lot. The tempo was also quite hard to relate to and im not used to it. I cant really play it on the right tempo. I need to play it smoother and more accurately so i will need to practice the composition more.



In this video, i tried to play the composition using both hands. Its quite hard to play it using both hands. I played the left hand using the full chords in numerous times in a bar. It sounded more good using the full chord of the bar. Therefore i played it slowly however i still didnt play it smoothly. The tempo is still isnt right and i got some notes wrong. So i will need to practice it a lot more for my rehearsal on Wednesday.

Term 3 video- Week 5

In this video i was searching for a song to sing on the second singing assessment. Im trying different jazz song and i love Frank Sinatra so i searched his songs and found fly me to the moon. It was really good and i tried to sing it for my lesson practice and to prepare for my music assessment. I sang it quite well but i didn't finish the whole thing. I kind of want to search for more songs that is suitable for me one that is more short. Next time i will sing and practice other jazz song.

In this video i am singing moon river after searching for other jazz songs. It reminds me of my childhood and i decided to sing this song for my second singing assessment. I tried to memorize the song, it was short so it helped. I also practice singing it on youtube karaoke/intrumental version. It was fun and i sang well by remembering the lyrics well too. Next time i will need to control my pitch more because i didnt do well in controlling the picth today.

Term 3 video- week 4

There was some error on my HP to video, so i could only video myself practicing in one minute. So in this video i played another 2 set of chord progression which is from G flat and E major scales, from 2-5-1 again. It was the same chord progression but with different major scales. I played the scales on my right. It was really hard and there were quite a lot of mistakes because there were so many flats and sharps everywhere and i need to hurry. I will need to practice it slowly so i could be used to the progressions first and practice it again and again so that i could master the progressions. I also need to try and finish all the chord progression Mr Herry gave me.

In this video i played another 2 sets of chord progression which was new to me because i havent finish and tried all the chord progressions Mr Herry gave me. I played the E major and D major with the same progression like last time, 2-5-1 again. It was easier than the G flat and i was able to do it well. However there were still mistakes and i didn't play it smoothly and was in a rush. I will need to practice it slower and more accurately next time, if i play it that way again and again eventually i will be able to play it smoothly and faster.

Term 3 video- Week 3

I updated my video late because i was sick when it was the due date. Here i practice the chord progression again, i add the scales on my right and played the chord with my left. In the video i am only playing 3 chord progressions from scale C, B flat and A flat the progression is from 2, 5 and then back to its tonic. It was kind of hard because i am not used to it. There were also mistakes and the playing is not smooth. I need to practice these 3 chord progression first before learning the others. Next time, ill practice it slower then faster but more accurately.

In this video i played the 3 chord progressions again which is C, B flat and A flat from 2 to 5 then to the tonic. I focused my practice on these 3 chords so that i can get used to the progression and the playing with the scales on my right hand. It turned out good, in this video i could play it smoother and more accurately although there are still wrongs and it may not be perfect. My fingering is also a mess. Next time i will need to improve on my fingering and try to practice the other 3 chord progressions which is G flat, E and D.

Term 3 video- Week 2

In this video i am playing 3 chord progressions on my right and the bass note on my left hand, it was quite hard because i am not really used to it and need to read the notes which was confusing. However i did it somehow. The chord progression was from 2-5-1 from C, B flat, A flat major scales. I need to be able to play it faster and correct. I need to practice more and try to read the notes more carefully because i am quite clumsy to read the notes and did some few of mistakes.

In this video i did another 3 chord progression from G flat, E and D major scales from 2-5-1 progressions. It was quite hard because there were a lot of flats, and i didnt really read the notes well which shows there were several mistakes on the notes and it sounds weird. It also took time for me to figure out the notes and my hand numbering is a mess. I need to be able to play it faster and more accurately, so i will need to practice it more so that i could play it more smoothly.
