Chinese translation for Chinese students

最近這些系列的影片，都是我曾經非常努力練習的，是針對怎麼樣可以把這個樂器演奏得更好。


這一集要講的是四棒適當的運用，因為有些學生只會用到某些棒子，

時常提到演奏四分音符的重要性，你可以用這個方式練習（Tony示範Cmajor, Cminor）

練這個練習時，沒有嚴格的規定，只要把他打得好聽，盡量做音樂，不要當成一個無聊的練習。


這個練習很好幫助左手的兩棒技巧，因為運用左手兩支棒子時，聽起來會聽起來像Voicing。

在這個簡單小練習中，盡量嘗試發覺你自己的東西。一個Pattern或是一個音樂句子。

這非常幫助四棒演奏技巧。

We are start playing solo don't we :-). We spend a lot of time playing by ourselves! Esp when we begin.

Check out Jonathan Kreisberg's video on his solo cd (which I can't find on iTunes :-( )

Philosophically it's very interesting!

That's sad!!!!

How people handle their musical material is always interesting to me. As you guys know I talk with lots of students about solo playing. I believe you should spend a lot of time (in your mind) walking on stage and playing a piece or two as if there is an audience. The best way I know of to simulate that is to record your performance. video is best. Then you have to look at yourself!

On facebook I asked for a list of solo cd favs. Here's the list I got:

Here's what I thought was a better take of Isfahan (Confirmation not so much!).

I was talking to a student today. This student is nervous about getting out to play. This would be the students first jam session. The student is very talented and needs to get over this hump. If the student played about 5 or 6 jam sessions that would be it, they'd be fine and could get up to play with ease.

We have to play in public. This is really how we get better! And there's no excuse for not doing it. Learn tunes and get out there. People are cool and anyone who says anything negative to you is an A-hole, so don't worry about it :-).

Post your mini concerts for Feb. 25th, 2017 below. Put the links in, I'll embed the videos.

I LOVE MINI concerts. They are for everyone to participate and it's a virtual way of coming together. I like this as much as doing a concert in a theatre. I'm pretty shy and introverted but this is such a cool community thing that I just love seeing everybody play.

So I recorded two versions of my mini concert for this weekend. The second one is where I botched
confirmation. So I took the first version where I played both versions with stopping and it was an ok performance.

Here is the good version of the bad version? Get it? Triste came out ok on the second version. But that's not a mini concert because I have to play 2 or more tunes without stopping :-)

Hi Guys this month i'm going to do the third part of my lesson for those of you who wants to practice quartal voicings and applied them in modal jazz.

As usual feel free to contact me through my website: www.giovanniperin.com and to follow me on FB and Youtube!
