Music Theory Class
Today, we were first given a worksheet to read about jazz music. Then, we discuss on the sheet about syncopation, improvisation, types of jazz music, etc. We discussed for a long time and then we have split session. After lunch, we came back to hear some of the guitar group, violin group and piano group playing jazz modes. I think I get a lots of new knowledge from the sheet that was given. I also get to hear jazz modes in other insturments. I think they are all good although the violin group should improve on the pitch. Next, I should keep finding out more about jazz to prepare on my essay.
Piano Class
Today, we were told that we should upload video in our music blog starting this week. Then, wel earned a new thing which is simple chord progression. I think this is difficult to play, especially the right hand and the movement from one chord to another. Next, I should practise this at home and upload the video.
