Reflection of lesson 2: "Why does my heart feel so bad"- group band
With this extra lesson, i can say that we have made progress in our performance. We have worked out some new chords patterns for the pianist (Seungjoon) so that they interchange in between and add a variety especially in the section with "these open doors". Same thing with the guitarist, we made the strums a bit more powerful as we went along to show that are song is building up, so it sounds like a crescendo. Something very applaudable we incorporated into our performance was the bass guitar (played by Marc). We decided that maybe we could vary the sounds, and he very quickly caught up with learning all the notes. Adding the bass guitar, makes the piece more in depth and layered. So then, i was multitasking by doing the vocals, playing the strings on the keyboard and adding simple percussion with the tambourine. Layering is sort of the idea we have used for this whole performance. We start off with the piano playing and incorporate different instruments one by one for more thickness. Although, we have set a goal for next time to work on our timing and work on our abrupt ending.
This is a recording of our work so far.
Your observations for improvement are valid ones. I would also work on balance of parts as we cannot always hear everything.
