just another blog

So this week I worked mostly on triads, because that is what we all have been doing mostly in all of our classes. I would play a root and the 5th, and find the 3rd note in a major and minor chord, then I would play the root and the 3rd, and find the 5th. After I did that I would play a triad in a major key, change the 3rd to make it minor, then I would play the diminished and augmented versions of that chord. I also did inversions. Then I decided to work on the counterpoint that we are doing in pairs soon, and I would play (or attempt to play, more like... it was rather challenging!) the cantus firmus from the sightreading that we got from professor Williams, and sang the counterpoint. It felt good when it turned out! It is hard to play something and sing something completely different at the same time! Well... to me anyway. I am not that good at multitasking yet. Well, that was pretty much it... Have a happy Thursday!
