In this video, I tried using the pedal. I think this sounds better, especially when I do not have the string effect to support me when I am practicing. Next, I should try different chord progression in this song using the pedal.

This video, I tried the same thing as before which is playing the usual play for the first part of the song before the repeat and then another after the repeat. I think I should change from one chord progression to the other, being flexible to suit the melody. Next, I should try using pedal since I dont have the string effect in piano, using pedal should help me give the effect.

In this video, I tried to hear the difference when I play the chord in different chord progression. For the first time before the repeat sign, I tried playing with the same progression as before then the second time in a different one. I have not yet decided on whether which one was better so next time I should try this again.

In this video, I practiced and tried in a faster tempo. I think this sounds more fluent but I should try the D-G-Bb chord next time and hear the difference. Next, I should keep the tempo but try and hear for sound quality.

Today I practiced for my jazz performance. I hold the chords since I will be playing as strings holding the chords of each bar. I think I would need to practice more and should change when I hold the Gm chord into D-G-Bb instead of G-Bb-D. Next, I should keep practicing this with that way.

Music Theory Class
Today, we were given a sheet to note down the scores of term 3. i think my scores were alright. But for term 4, I have to improve on the reflection on my blog especially the video upload. Then the first group "Summer Time" rehearse for their jazz performance. I think they were quite good. Next group was "I Got Rhythm". I think they were okay but need more practice. For my group, we need to improve on the ending. Next, I should remember about the video for the blog and keep practicing my part for the jazz performance. Also, our group had scheduled to practice together other than in the sessions we had together with Mr. Harry.

Today, we have no classes as it is a public holiday. I should keep practicing especially for the jazz group performance for next session and keep my blog up to date.
