Week 4

21081625_1 — 2024-11-15 05:45:39 UTC

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 07:59:14 UTC

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 07:59:43 UTC

This week I was focused on working on my solo transcription so I had practiced that a lot more than my band songs.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 08:04:33 UTC

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 08:04:58 UTC

These are just two of the many many many takes I took.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:04:45 UTC

I didn't have any videos this week because this was my busiest week.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:05:46 UTC

I had some time to practice (albeit not much) but I hadn't gotten to record myself playing. What I did for my short practice though was just coming up with a line to play for Laika. The rest of this week was just focusing on my assignments and revising over music history.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:06:19 UTC

Same goes for week 7. I just practiced Laika's chords and, to be fair there wasn't really much to practice since it was a pretty simple song with simple chords.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:22:38 UTC

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:23:53 UTC

We'd just received the finalised lead sheet for Perisai Jitu so I spent my practice time just familiarising myself with the chords.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:44:57 UTC

(pls don't mind how out of tune my keyboard sounds, i forgot to get it in tune)

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:46:17 UTC

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:46:34 UTC

21081625_1 — 2024-12-24 09:46:53 UTC

21081625_1 — 2024-12-25 05:47:16 UTC

Since this week was when we had our first band practice, I hadn't really practiced too much (I practiced some other songs on my own just to keep from rusting). It was mostly just me practicing 'It Runs Through Me' so I hadn't recorded it.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-25 14:45:16 UTC

This week was mostly just me trying to fix my timing. I had asked ChatGPT on how I could do better on keeping a good timing for my trumpet line and I followed the advice given.

I was listening to our band recordings over and over, repeating that intro and my other trumpet lines to practice. I also practiced with a metronome for that.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-25 14:51:34 UTC

This week was mostly chill. I just ran through 'It Runs Through Me' and 'Khayalan' to show Ms Stephanie in the next class. I also practiced two other songs to just warm up (it was mostly just for fun).

21081625_1 — 2024-12-25 14:53:30 UTC

I just ran through both of my band's songs for this week. I tried something new which was the arpeggiating chords bit in Laika.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-25 14:54:42 UTC

As we'd just received a new song this week, I spent my practice time getting used to the trumpet lines. I was more focused on getting the timing right since it was so difficult.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-25 14:58:15 UTC

I had no videos recorded this week since I fell ill and I simply just had no time to record or practice because my assignments were getting heavier.

21081625_1 — 2024-12-25 15:40:36 UTC

Ms Stephanie gave me some advice on how to comp for Perisai Jitu's chorus because it needed to have a stronger foundation to hold down chords while also sounding at least a bit busier and fuller.
