In this video, I played the song Close To You given by Mr Herry in the booklet he gave us. This is the intro of my ensemble. Mr Herry suggested this intro. I think it sounds really great. I am going to play the intro then my friends will start playing Close To You while I played the chord.

In this video, I played the song Close To You given by Mr Herry in the booklet he gave us. I played the chord only in this video. It would take around 2-3 minutes to play the whole thing and I decided to only tape the first part of our ensemble performance. During the performance, there will be a little singing and improvisation. I think it sounds really good. 

Week 8 28-1 June

How is my jazz ensemble performance?

I think the ensemble went really well but we definitely need more practice because playing in a group takes a very long time to make the harmony together and we only have a couple of weeks to practice the song Close To You with the whole team mates and it makes it more difficult. I just hoped we get a good score enough to pass the passing score because we all practiced really hard and we all deserved a good score.

We did not have instrument class on Wednesday. But on Tuesday, we discussed the chord and notes we are going to do tomorrow on the assessment day. I think we did a great job but if we have more time, we'll probably get a higher score because we need a lot more practice.

Week 7 21-25 May

What I think about my Jingle?

I think my jingle sounds really good. The pictures of Indonesia are really good and the music sounds awesome. Me and Jessica did a really great job doing this project. I have to learn how to use iMovie first though and its quiet easy to operate iMovie after making a couple of mistakes. I think we both did a fantastic job doing this project and I hope we get a good score.

Me and my group practiced the song Close To You and it sounds pretty good. We need more practice though because its really hard to play it together. We just need a lot of practice and I just hope everything went really well on the assessment day.

In this video, I played the song Close To You given by Mr Herry in the booklet he gave us. This song is not hard but I am not used to play the chord and thats what makes it hard for me to play. Its easier for me to play the notes just like the other players but my supervisor and Mr Herry told me to play the chord so the other players can play the notes like the violin players, guitar players and woodwind players.

In this video, I played the song Close To You given by Mr Herry in the booklet he gave us. I played this song a little longer than the previous videos and this is the best video I've uploaded for the song Close To You. I am going to practice more and more since the assessment is next Wednesday. I really do think we need to be given more time because Mr Herry gave us a couple of weeks to play this song we've never played before in a group which makes it more difficult because all the players needs to co-orperate on the song and I have to be loud because I am going to play the chord.

In this video, I played the song Close To You given by Mr Herry in the booklet he gave us. I am going to play this song with my ensemble mates. My team consists of one piano player, two violin players, two guitar players and two woodwind players.

In this video, I played the song The Girl From Ipanema given by my private piano teacher. I played the song longer than the other videos because I have practiced a couple times on the weekend and it sounds good. I still made a couple of mistakes playing this song though. This song is really hard. I hoped I could play it. 

VIDEO 6

In this video, I played the song The Girl From Ipanema given by my private piano teacher. For me, this song is the hardest out of all the other songs in the booklet given by Mr Herry. There are lots of notes and this song has to be played fast and its hard because there's so many notes and symbols we have to recognize while playing.
