Hello again!
Yesterday I forgot to do my blog! :(
But I have a good reason - I was practising my other pieces for my music playing exam! I feel pretty prepared now, even though I just found out about one of the pieces (allegro) TODAY! I practised it a lot though, so I think I'm good at it now. Except for bar 7!
My other good news is right after my post on Tuesday afternoon, I finished my recording! Yay! Woohoo! I took a LOOOOOONG time because I used a webcam as the microphone because it's much more sensitive than our other microphone. However, this asset turned out to be it's downfall - I had to try numerous volume setting changes (I even ended up covering the microphone with T-shirts and blankets to muffle the sound!) because it was just so sensitive, my playing would be too loud if I played at a forte. I hope you can still hear the dynamic contrast, because I feel it sounded less prominent on the track than how I was actually playing unfortunately.
The only complaint I have now is I might want to redo bars 6 and 31 (same rhythm and notes) because it sounded off tempo with the piano.
I am proud of my work, even though it doesn't sound exactly like a crisp, high-quality recording, it still is pretty cool to hear myself on my very own CD! Hey, now I can truthfully say I'm a recording artist! Well, sort of.
I will continue to make posts despite the fact that I'm done, just telling if I redo things, what I liked about the project, etc. Though I became frustrated many times, it was a fun and cool project that not many students get a chance to do!
