Peter's theme using mixcraft

Peter's theme using mixcraft

Completing this task was not as hard as the Hunter's theme. Although, Peter's theme was a little longer than any other themes, I liked it because it was not too hard for me if I look at the music notes.  After recalling my memories for this piece of music, I recorded them like a hundred times. This was due to the fact that I did't know how to speed up the tempo as when I record the music is too long for the video. As I learnt this technique, I would like to be using this skill in my Wolf's theme. I would like to make them as perfect as possible as I have not practiced my wolf's theme very much.

hunter's theme using mixcraft

The video below is my Hunter's theme 
this video is made using mixcraft and the music played by me. 

As I had no partner for my work, I had a few problems as when I didn't understand something, I always had to ask people who is in other groups. At first, I didn't get how to use this Mix craft at all. However, since Mille helped me to do this work (like how to record me playing, how to edit the music, etc.) I have been able to complete this video. I will have to thank everyone who actually helped me to make this video. The part that I felt hard was when I finished recording, I had to edit them so that it will fit perfectly. I like this rhythm the best because it's short and uses only 2 keys on the piano so it is easy to remember too. As I was alone, I had some difficulties (as I am not very good with computer) but the part that was good being alone was that I didn't have to wait for my partner to record and make this video, which means I had more time. For someone like me, who is not good with computer, this time was useful because I did not have to stress about being behind.

Wolf's theme

The link posted below is me playing my wolf's theme. It was hard to memorize the notes. However in one lesson, I have managed to get to a point were I record myself playing. As this piece of the music was very short I felt it easy. Because of this I have managed to get the notes. However, due to the fact there were flats and sharps, I felt that this music was a little difficult. At first, I didn't know where the keys are but as I kept on practicing, I began to challenge myself by playing without looking at the paper. I have learnt that if I don't give up, I can learn and memorise something no matter how short the time given is.

Peter's theme

This video is my Peter's theme. I liked the part when it goes like C D E F then back to C again. Peter's theme was using the flat and the sharp. I first felt that the timings were a little difficult but as I kept on playing them, I started to get the timings. At the end, I have managed to play this piece of music without the paper that says the music note. I think I liked the peter's theme so far (although I still have done just two piece of music) as I like the tempo o this misic

Pitch Test 4

This is my pitch test four. I have added 3 more vocabularies than the vocabularies that we have come up in class. they are EFFACED, DABBED, and BEADED. I have came up with the word DECABBAGED which was the longest word that has come up in the class. I had trouble thinking about the high note or the low note to write on the stave.

Studying for the pitch test

I have studied for my pitch test. As I didn't know the format of the test, I drew the stave and the treble  clef and asked my mom to draw notes for me to test myself if I do know all the notes. I knew the notes since I used to learn piano in Japan, I remembered that E, G, B, D, F is on the line. As I have learnt notes in do re mi fa so la ti do, Mi, so, si (ti), re sounded like misosiru high means miso soup in English. That's the reason that I have manged to remember the notes on the line. It also helped me that F was where fa is. This is how I practiced and remembered my notes.

Hunter's theme ~Video & the reflection~

 
This is my video for playing hunter's theme on the piano. When I first tried them, I felt it's quite hard. However, after understanding the notes, I felt doing this easier compared to the time when I first tried them. I can improve the part where I read the note and decide if I should press the piano keys that is on the left side or the right side. Despite these improvements, I think I did quite well on playing the Hunter's theme and I hope that I will have the same feeling after completing the Peter's theme task. I am very excited to try the Peter's theme.
