last 2 video practices

in this video i was playing the scales and i think in the scales i did well in the first part but the second part i didn't do so well i have to play more scales in the future to improve my fingering.



in this video i tried playing the song i played just now and i was really proud because i can remember the whole song. the only thing I'm not happy about is that i have several double strings.

week 10- how is my understanding of blues after my performance

i now understand blues even deeper after my performance. blues doesn't always stick to the notes or the melody. they improvise little by little. blues is very fast. they love to play fast beat songs and half notes.

today we all evaluated each other and we all stated what we loved and disliked. we took a rest and just talked about how we could have done better.



i think in this video i was able to do good and i was able to avoid all double strings. i did very well for this song. i haven't played this song for sometime but i was still able to do well.



i was able to do well for this song. i avoided all double strings and i think i was able to get the right timing for each note. i am happy i can still play this song.

week 9- how is my understanding of improvisation especially in blues

in blues, they have lots of improvisations. i now understand that blues doesn't necessarily follow the written notes. they still follow it but they improvise even more.

in music class today we practice our own compositions and we got final pointers or tips from mr. Sadrahk.



i think i did pretty well here and i am confident with myself. i did really well only on the second 4th bar i got several double strings, i still have to improve that.



in this video i did better than the one before and i think i did well for this one. i still couldn't remember my last 3rd forth bar i have to try and remember it.

week 8- how does blues influence jazz in it's early development

i think blues influenced jazz by it's melody and it's tone. blues evolved into many other types of jazz genres.

today i played my composition and i think i played well. i believe i have enough preparation for the test. none the less i will practice more because practice makes perfect.


in this video i am practicing my song and i think i did better. i think i avoided all double strings and i think i was able to play the notes on time and i think i played it better this time.

in this video i think i did well on my second practice on the song. i think in this one i did as well as i did before and i was still able to avoid all double strings.

week 7 music practice 2

in this video i was playing my song and i think i did way better than before. but the problem is that i had to flip the page of my song book. this took awhile so there was a pause moment in the video i will try and make the flip quicker next time.

music practice one week 7

i think in this practice i was doing not so good with the stroking and the tone is abit off. i was trying my best to do better from my previous practices. this shows i have to practice more. i think i need to work more on the double strings.

week 7- how is my progress playing my own 12 bar blues

My challenges and how often i practice

I think my progress in playing my own 12 bar blues is good and mostly my challenge is getting the time to practice with my tight schedule i have limited time to practice. Even though i have difficulty finding time, i still do my best and i get some time 5 minutes or maybe 10 minutes i will practice at home.

this week Mr. Sadrahk has been helping me out with my practice on the song and he has been telling me about the placement of the fingers if it is in different scales and he has been coaching me regarding the timing of my song.

violin practice

in this song i was practicing my 12 bar blues. i think i didn't do as good here as i did in instrument class but i think mr. Sadrahk"s encouragement motivated me to do better.

in this video i was playing fly me to the moon. i think during this practice video i didn't do very good because its been sometime i played this song. nevertheless i think i could have done better.

in this video i was doing scales and i think i did well and i think i was able to avoid double strings when i am playing this.

in this video i was doing double double scales. i think while doing the double double, i didn't do as well because it is definitely harder to avoid double strings while doing double double.

in this video i was playing a song from the book. i have been playing this song for a long time. i haven't practiced this song for sometime that is why i wasn't that good in this video.

in this video i was again doing a a song from the book. the only difference from the version in the book is that this is double double.

in this video i am practicing the fly me to the moon song and i think i didn't do as well as i could have. in this video i was doing double strings and this is bad i am trying to get the stroking better.

in this video i think i didn't do that well because i am stopping a lot and i thing that i am doing double strings. but nevertheless this was still my first practice.
