May 6th

Today you will be choosing the resource you will be using to learn your song and
beginning your practice (remember, you should NOT already know your chosen song).

Some examples of resources include:

- A link to an online video tutorial
- A link to or images of written sheet music or guitar TABS

After you find a resource, spend a few minutes ​testing​ that resource: begin trying to
learn the song. If you end up not liking the resource after a few minutes of practicing,
this is your opportunity to go find a different learning resource. Once you decide on your
final resource, spend around 15-20 minutes practicing today:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aKt4Yrj Today I found a tutorial video on youtube to

dA6QSedEDZGy4-TlhhrFjnAFa/view?usp learn the song from. The piano at my house is
=sharing very old and hasn't been tuned in a long time. So
the piano sounds a bit odd, but it still works.
First I watched the tutorial video and wrote
down all the chords and the playing pattern. It
happened to be just 5 chords repeating in the
whole song. So it was quite easy for me. Today I
learned all the chords and how to play them. I
haven’t played piano for a while so my left pinky
hurts a bit because I had to stretch my fingers
from Bb to A. I did some scales to warm up as
well.

(If you practiced other days throughout
the week, include those days and times
here, as well):
Today I practiced for 20 minutes.
Tomorrow I’ll practice some more so my
fingers are familiar to the chords.

or video update for today:
What will you work on improving next week?
Be specific.
I’ll be improving on switching from chord to
chord and memorising the chords. I’ll be
improving on these things because it will make
my playing more smooth. Switching quickly from
chord to chords will help me not have a pause in
between each chord I play. I can improve that by
memorising the chords. So I can quickly move
my fingers to the next chords.

(If you practiced other days throughout the
week, include those days and times here, as

I practiced for about 20 minutes today.
Today I practice the chords continuously by
the playing pattern of the song. I practice
with and without the pedal to see if it sounds
better if or without.
What will you work on improving next
week? Be specific.
I want to improve on adding dynamic into my
work because now it sounds a bit plain. I
could maybe change the volume when I play
to improve my work.
What did you work on while practicing
today/this week? Be specific.
Over the weekend I learnt how to play the
guitar and how to read the chords diagram.
Then I search for the chords on the internet.
I’m learning how to play two chords which
are dmaj7 and am7. For piano I have decided
to use the pedal while I’m playing because it
sounded nicer to play with it compared to
not.
What will you work on improving next
week? Be specific.
Now I have finished learning the piano part.
Next I'll be working more on the guitar. I’ll be
learning more of the chords.

ring the video so you know what I mean. It was
hard to get the right sound too. You can see
that I’m really struggling. The chords weren’t
that hard to play but how you play and the
technique was hard.

week, include those days and times here, as
well):

45 minutes I will be focusing more on the guitar but still

practice piano everytime I practice. For guitar
I will be trying to play the chords with the
picking technique to make it sound better.
Also switching between chords and building
muscle memory. For piano I will practice
more with the pedal so I can play more
fluently.

35 minutes By Friday I will try to improve the guitar as

best as I can. I will practice playing the piano

rEESjja99Z6bSrQFUpjDNFM/view?usp=sha guitar more because it really didn’t sound
ring good enough. So I practiced for a very long
time till I got it. For piano I recorded a new
video But compared to the one I did yesterday
it wasn’t that good. So I used yesterday's
piano for my final performance. For guitar I
just record it without the video because I
want the piano to be the main instrument and
guitar the background. Then I edited the
video together and I’m done

For the final performance I was more focused
because it's the last one and I want to do well.
Although it's my first time playing the guitar I
tried to practice as much as I could to
improve. What I want to improve and change
is practicing more on the guitar. I think I
could do better and play more fluently. But
for a beginner level I am proud of myself.
