extra video- Close to you with accompaniment (Link below)

This is an extra video of me practicing for the singing assessment with group. i sang this song with accompaniment "close to you" that i got from youtube but apparently i had a bad connection so the video stops there even when i'm not done singing.i recommend to anyone who wants to  be accompanied or practices using a background music. so here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5o1fmVKoUE

Close to you with 2nd voice

This video is my video while practice to sing the song "close to you" with the 2nd voice. it does not sound right to me but i don't know is it just me or IT IS not right. but well, since mr. Hary wants me to be the 2nd voice and so be it. i will do whatever best for me and my group

Don't Know Why FINAL

This is the video when i practice for the jazz group ensemble. and i believe this is my last practice so even though i did some mistake in this video but i'm sure i will not have any mistakes later on my performance. this is the final because Mr Herry told me to do stuff and change the note a little bit and adds some singing on it so here we go. i've done it.

C major Scale

This is my video while practicing the C major scale. C major scale is the Major of the Major scales. because it is the basic and i think if you want to learn the scales using flute or any other instruments. we always start with getting to know the c major scale because it is the base and if we already familiar with the C major scale, then. it is easy to play the other scales

another practice for F major scale

this is my video while practicing the F major scale AGAIN well.... that is fine because mr Hary said we need to work on F major scale so i have to practice it more and more and hopefully i can do better next time. but in this video i can play it without any mistakes and i also show you what are the notes and how to play the  F major scale

F major scale

this is my video while practicing the f major scale. here, i show you the slow to fast version even though i have lots of mistake here but that's ok, that's the culture of practicing. practice make perfect. i also show the fingering to make it clear. it is easy but sometimes i miss one or two notes.

Close to You by accompaniment

This is the video where i sing the song called close to you which i use a background music that i got from youtube. i love the accompaniment because it is just the same like what my teacher do. so i can practice it from here. but suddenly my connection was lost so the video stop until then, but at least i showed you about the video right here.

Singing and practicing "close to you"

This is the video when i practice to sing the song called close to you by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. i sang pretty nasty here. it was not that good. i hated my voice here well i think this is what i could do and this is my ability. plus, i sang this right after i woke up so my voice is a bit heavy and soar so it was not good. but i keep practicing to make it better and better everyday. oh yea! i didn't have some warming back then.

"close to you" by Burt Bacharach, Hal David

This is me while practicing for my group singing assessment. i just sang the song "close to you" by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. i sang the song just like the original song without any changes because Mr. Herry just told us to get to know the songs. and i have watched it on youtube and that's probably the actual melody of the songs. i don't know yet weather i will get the 1st voice or the 2nd or the 3rd because mr Herry did not give us the parts and i hope tomorrow he'll give us the voices so i can start practicing.

another practice on "Don't know why" by Jesse harris

This is my video while practicing for my jazz ensemble. Yesterday Mr. Herry told me to just do the chord for the first 8 bar because the piano and guitar going to do their own thing and play the melody for us. so that the woodwinds should only play the chord for the 1st and the last 8 bars. what we do is only the 3rd to 4th line. and that's all. i think in this practice i make a lot of mistakes because the chord things are new for me even though it is much more easier rather than playing the whole melody. but new stuff never be perfect right? well i think this might be almost the last practice for me but i will try to have another practice if i could to improve my play on this ensemble group.

Jazz ensemble practice "don't know why"

This is my video while practicing for the group ensemble with my group. i can play it until finish but then Mr herry told the woodwind part to only play the chord such what i have played at the end. i still encountered a lot of mistakes and i hope i will be better next time in my other practices.
