We wrote a song about assessments and we managed to play it all together in time. I think we should think about what to write about with the last two stanzas. After writing the two stanzas, we practiced playing all together. Since we already had some classes of playing our instruments separately, we already knew what to play. I think our timing was quite good. Mr. Tim helped Ben with when he has to sing. The lyrics so far seems to be in the right lyrics structure. 
A - It's been a long, long day, and I've got the assessments due
B - So I wanna go to sleep put on my blue pjs ]]> 2017-05-10 04:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/170917696 s00759 https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/173534083 This lesson, we mainly focused on improving our skills. I worked on switching my fingers between F and G. I noticed my improvements as we played all together and recorded. It definitely helped me play in time with my team mates. Also now I don't really get my strumming messed up. ]]> 2017-05-24 03:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/173534083 s00759 https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/173968089 This lesson, we decided the 12 bar solo part. Cherhim, the pianist, will be playing the 12 bars. However, we decided to let her practice her solo at home, by herself. Because we didn't have Ben this week, We only focused on making sure we play in time. We had a chance to play with an actual base guitar. With Zack playing with another instrument, it was even clear what I needed to work on. I've been bringing in a pick to class (0.6mm, nylon) that helped me play more clearly]]> 2017-05-26 11:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/173968089 s00759 https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/174325114 2017-05-30 02:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/174325114 s00759 https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/174325138 00034:
In general, our group played all played in time. When Cherhim played her solo, Ben didn't start singing right away, and Cherhim and Zack were 1 bar ahead. I noticed this and tried to play in sync with Ben, but noticed that doing so would ruin the performance and I decided to play with Cherhim and Zack. Fortunately, Ben realized this and quickly finished the lyrics off in time. Other than that, I think we were all in time and with the correct timing.

00032:
Their performance was not in time. not a pair were playing in sync. They all seemed to be playing by their own pace. Olivia's singing can't be heard from the other side of the room(camera). Her diction is not clear enough for the audience to understand a single word she's singing. They all seemed to be thinking that the others will adjust their speed for them. none of them actually considered stopping, listening to the other two, and playing in time with the others.

During this time, We went through our performance because we didn't have Ben for the last few classes. We informed him about some changes and the lyrics. We decided that Cherhim will play a short solo after stanza 2. However, we didn't have enough time to practice with the solo part included. ]]> 2017-05-30 02:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/s00759/hjc3wtmlisau/wish/174328148
