Week 6: February 20 & 22

Challenges in working on my 12-bar blues Finale task.

On Monday, we discussed the drafts of our compositions. On Wednesday, we submitted our final Finale notation of the 12-bar blues composition. At first I absolutely have no idea on how to compose 12 bars of blue notes. But after some explanations and examples from the teacher, such as syncopation and blues scale, I got the idea on how to create blue melodies and I can compose good notes.

On Monday, we practiced our 12-bar blues composition. I can play my composition well, but I cannot improvise it yet. We also practiced our compositions on Wednesday, and we were told to create the improvisations for our compositions. I still don't get the idea on how to add the improvisation part.
