Chords accompaniment + Fly Me To The Moon

chords accompaniment + fly me to the moon

This link above is about me playing the song Fly Me To The Moon and this time I was able to play the part where I had to play the chords for Shavira's intro and continue to the part where all of us had to play the whole song. It sounded great! I don't think I need to put some final touches in the end because that is where all of us are going the improvise (on the spot) on the assessment day.

This link above is a video of me practicing Fly Me To The Moon. In this video, I was able to manage playing the song until the end. And it sounded great but I think I need to improve on the dynamic, because even though I played it fluently, I still need to mark the place where I always forgot the dynamic.

This link above is a video of me playing the first section of the song called Fly Me To The Moon. So far I played it fluently, it's just that I made some mistakes in the middle of the song but that can be fixed in the next video. I need to practice the other half of the song and make a slight difference to it so that it won't have the same structure of the song like the original one.

This link above is a video of me playing the chords for Shavira's intro for the second time and I think I did pretty well because I added some of the chords at the end to make it sound better, which it did. The reason why I put the intro before the song starts is because my group and I wanted to make a slight difference in this song so that the song won't be boring and even though it has the same rhythm, the articulation and the structure of the song will be different than the original one.

This link above is a video of me practicing the chords accompaniment for Shavira's intro. I didn't do quite well in this video because my hands were stiff and I didn't play it smoothly. Next meeting, I will be able to play this chords fluently so that me and Shavira's rhythm of the intro will be the same.

Fly Me To The Moon practice



In this video I played one of the well known jazz songs named "Fly Me To The Moon"

In the mean time I am just going to play this song with my group. I haven't made any decisions yet about altering the notes but I will, soon. Once I have altered the notes, I might want to add some different patterns for my friends before the assessment starts so that it won't sound so boring. It needs to have a dynamic and some articulation in it.

I played this song a bit slower because I am still confused about the chords. I still need to keep on practicing this song until I get the right chords and once I got it right, I will have to make some changes in this song for my part and also for my other group members with their own musical instruments.

Jazz scale + chords



I am currently practicing the jazz chords that Mr Herry just taught us earlier.

He taught us about the different types of scales and major 7th, m7 and also dominant 7th. Jazz chords are basically chords that we can actually play in any different kinds of jazz songs. In other words, it matches all kinds of jazz songs.

I could've played better but I forgot how to play the chords well so I wasn't able to play it fluently.
