week 3- how have development in technology changed the ways in which we engage with music

technology has a great impact on how we engage on music. Now a days we have iPhones, iPads, iPod touch and etc. this also come in a package with games involving music like, guitar hero, tap tap and many more. not to mention youtube. youtube revolutionized the music industry with its contents and high speed videos.

today i practiced autumn leaves with my fellow violin club friends (yoshiko and olivia). Mr. Sadrahk advised that we do a little improvisation here and there to get a little extra marks.



in this video, i have started practicing again after a week of break. i have started off with the right notes, tune and timing. i think in this one i didn't do as well as i did before but i think in the next video i did well and i got used to the rhythm again.



in this video, i did a little more practice after the first video of the week and i am happy to say that i think i got the hang of it again and i did well for the second video. i believe if i keep practicing, i can make it and i can score a very high score this time.

week 1 and 2 practice vid 1 and 2

i think in this one i am just beginning to learn how to play the song so there were some stopping and some mistakes on the notes i should play. but i think if i keep improving, i will be able to do better.



in this one, i am becoming more fluent while playing the song. i think after several days of practice, i did a very good job. i think i was able to perform really well in spite of the short period of time i have been practicing this song.



in this 3rd video i have been having a lot of practice for this song and i think i did really well in this one. i think i am on a right track and i believe that i can get a better score compared to last time.



in this last video, i had 1 mistake for the whole song. this mistake was a big one and i felt abit down but never the less i kept on playing and i gave it my hardest. i think i have improved alot.
