For my final product I took a video of me playing a part of the song To Build A Home. I only have a video of me playing the first part of the song. This was the best part of the song that I could play so that is why I choose to do that. This has been a very long and challenging twelve weeks and I have made lots of progress during this project. I hope you all have enjoyed reading my blog posts and like my video!

This week I went to the band room during genius hour so I could get more practice in while in school instead of just at home. I am working on the whole song all together. Right now it sounds pretty good all together. Next week I will work on a few little details that need to be fixed. Next week is our last week so I will be posting my final product. I will be posting a video of the song To Build A Home next week as my final product. Come back next week to see my final product and hear my song on the piano!
This week I am still working on putting together the song To Build A Home. Since that is going to be my final project I want it to sound good. So I will just keep working on playing the whole song and making the notes sound good. There is not a whole lot else to do other than work on how I will present my project. I am planning on taking a video and showing that to the class for my final product. But for the next two weeks I will keep practicing the song so hopefully it will sound nice and my presentation will go good.
This week is where I really have to work hard and stay focused. I am working on putting the song together. I am playing the song To Build A Home. I have to put it all together and make sure it all sounds good. This week I am just practicing the notes all together. Next week I will work more on how it all sounds together. This week I just need to get used to the notes and playing the whole song.
So far I think I will be able to reach my goal, which is to play the whole song. I will have to work even more since we are close to the end of the project. I will keep working on all the notes so I will have it done. Then I can focus more on how it all sounds together which will be important because even though I do want to be able to play the whole song I still want it to sound good together. This week I continued to work on the last part of the song To Build A Home. Last week I just worked on getting down the notes and this week I am working on how it all sounds. So far it sounds pretty good I think. We are almost done with this project so now I am working more on it so that it does sound good. I have not put the whole song together yet so hopefully it will be good when I play the whole song.
I talked about how I plan to put together the whole song and that is what I plan to do next week. And I will continue to work on that till the end of the project. Soccer season is now over for me so that will free up some more time to practice. I think my progress for this week was good because the last part of the song sounds good. Now I just need to work on putting it all together, and then you will all get to hear what I have been working on! This week I started to work on the last part of the song To Build A Home. I am working with mostly repeated notes so I don't really have to learn new notes. I plan to spend this week and next week on the end part of the song. So far I have got down the notes of the end of the song. But next week I will be working more on how it all sounds. Once I have made sure it sounds the way it should next week then I will start to move on.
You are probably wondering what I have to move onto since this week and next week I am working on the end of the song. Well when I am done the end I need to work on putting it all together. That will be pretty challenging and that's why I will work on it for a while. Hope you all come back next week to see what else I get done! So it is week six of the twelve week project. So that means we are halfway! I am halfway through the song. So I am making good progress and should reach my goal by the end, which is to play one song. This week I am finishing up the middle part of the song. The song I am working on is To Build A Home. I still am still learning more about the piano as I keep getting farther into the project. I do hope to keep learning more each week so I can know as much as I can by the end.
Next week I will be working on the end of the song. I will spend the next two weeks or so working on the ending. So then I will try and put all my work together. I will work on putting the whole song together for the last few weeks. I want to try and get the song to sound as good as it can. Which means I will put in as much time as needed to do so. By the end I will have a video of my work and I can't wait for everyone to get to see it! I hope you all come back next week to read more about my progress with the last part of the song! This week I started to work on the middle of the song To Build A Home. That is also what I will be working on next week. Next week will be halfway through the project and I will be halfway through the song I am working on. I am working on the sound of the notes. Once I finish up the middle part of the song which will hopefully next week. The I will do the last part of the song. After I have finished it I will put it all together.
But so far I think my progress is going good. I am moving at a good pace. I also think this weeks progress went well and I can finish up the second part next week. It sounds pretty good to be a beginner but of course it's not perfect. This week I am still trying to progress on the first part of the song To Build A Home. I want to make sure I am playing the right keys and that it sounds good before I start to move on. Next week I will start to move on to the middle part of the song. I also wanted to spend more time on the first part of the song since it is a little more difficult than the rest of the song.
This week I am still working on the song To Build A Home. I am working on the beginning of the song and working on how the notes sound. I want to get down the first part of the song before I move on. I want to spend enough time on it so it sounds good. So that will be the main focus this week. I have to work on what notes need to be held longer than the others. I have got down where most of the notes are and how to read what notes to play. Now I just need to work on what notes are supposed to be flat and what notes are not supposed to be. The pedals also make a big difference in how it sounds.
This week and the next few weeks I will focus on the beginning of the song. I do not want to move on and it not sound right. So I will take my time and keep practicing till I think I am read to move on. Learning to play something for the first time is very challenging and that is the main reason I want to take my time and only work on one part at a time. I do want to be able to get down the whole song before the twelve weeks is over so that I can post a video. I may choose to do another song if I have time. I did want to play No One Knows Me Like The Piano. But I do think that song is too challenging especially for a beginner. Come back next week to read about my farther progress! |
