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.
