Term 3 video- Week 8

In this video for the first time i played different chord dominants. I played C and G major which is on C7, C9 and C13 and G7, G9, and G13. This is to practice for my next jazz group assessment, so that i could play the improvisations smoothly and without delay. In this video i still have trouble dealing and reading the chord. I don't really remember the fingering and the nots which is why there were mistakes on the video, i did not do really well. Therefore i will need to practice more of these slowly.




In this video i also played chord dominants with 7, 9 and 13 notations too but in D and A major scales. I played 2 scales on each video to master the scales first one by one. It was also hard because it is my first time playing it, I am not familiar with the nots and are not familiar with the fingering. Therefore there were quite a few mistakes on the nots and stops to read it. I will need to improve it by practicing more and slower.

Term 3 video- Week 7

In this video i practiced 2 variations of the walking bass Mr Herry told us about during theory class. I repeat the variations 2 times from 2-5-1 arrangements progressing chords on C major. It was quite confusing because the bass is moving and i am not familiar to it. I need to master it for my next assessment though. There were a lot of mistakes made from this video because i just started to read it and it is really new to me so it was quite hard. However it was also quite easy because the notes are simple and the tempo are also really basic. Next time i need to practice more and play it slower to be able to read the next bar and not make more mistakes in the video

This practice video was better than the first one because i am already quite familiar to the melody and nots. I also practiced the 2 variations of walking bass from 2-5-1 progression on C major like last time. It was easier this time and i didn't made as many mistakes as my first one it because i played it slower and more carefully, reading the nots ahead. However i didn't really play it smoothly and there were still mistakes on the second try. Next time i should be able to master this progresssion and practice a new one for my group jazz assessment.
