7th Chords Video 2

Reflection:

This is my second attempt on playing the 7th chords (major, dominant, major minor, half-diminished and diminished) from C to B. There are a few mistakes that I made while practicing. I didn't play them perfectly but I played them better than my first video on the 7th chords.

Reflection:

I recorded this video in my first try on 7th chords: major, dominant, major minor, half-diminished and diminished from scales C to B. I made a few mistakes but not that many. I guess sometimes when I'm bored and I practiced them helps me to play them pretty well.

Reflection:

This is my second try on playing the C to B scales. It's not really perfect but at least it's better than the first video. I still have some trouble with my fingerings when doing the backward scales, especially the F scales because I'm only used to play the scales with sharps, not flats.

Reflection:

This video is my first try on doing scales from C to B. My fingerings pretty messy because I seldom practiced scales with my piano teacher. I always got the backward scales messed up just because of my fingerings. Even though I got the E and B scale correct, they are the only ones that I got correct. The rest of it I got them wrong. I will try to avoid those mistakes for the next time.

Reflection:

This is my second time playing 2 scales of chromatic scales. I tried to play them better than the first video. It turns out that I made fewer mistakes than the first attempt. I played them more smoothly when I played the scales backwards. Before I got confused with the fingerings, but in this video I played them with fewer mistakes.

Reflection:

This is my first attempt on playing 2 octaves of chromatic chords. I made a few mistakes while playing it, especially with my fingerings. I'm not used to chromatic chords before and my fingerings are messed up, like when the transition from B to C, there's no black key, so I must use my index finger to press the B note, but I sometimes missed it.

In today's theory and instrument class, all of us practiced our songs because the assessment is postponed until Monday. I practiced in front of the class for two times, once in front of the counselor and the other one in front of 2 music teachers.

I did pretty well with few mistakes while playing the song. I still need to memorize and practice more of it.

I will practice more often and try my best to be able to memorize the song.
