This day might be the last that I am going to continue my personal project for this year (maybe during the winter holiday) because next week is going to be exam week so I really have to learn and focus on the exams coming up. I believe that I have already made good progress for my personal project so I think that continuing next year is not going to be much of a problem nor it will interfere with my schedule (timeline). I am almost finished with my first piece.

On this date, I continued making my piece from bar 36 until bar 68. I did most parts of the song on this date because on bar 47 until 61, it is just the same as the first part of the song so I just needed to copy it but I also made some modifications so that it will not sound exactly like the first part of the song. Below is the photo of my progress.

On this date, I continued my sonatina until bar 35. The next part after bar 35 would be in minor key, just like on the Kuhlau Sonatina that my sonatina is based on and it would be the hardest part of the piece as there are a lot of sixteenth notes that have to be played including the left hand. I enjoyed making this piece as when I continue making it, I could not stop.

On this date, I had a progress check with my supervisor so that my supervisor and I can keep track on what I am doing and the progress I am making. So far my supervisor told me that I am doing well and on track. I was quite relieved because I was really busy this whole time so I thought that I would not have time to continue or maybe I am too far behind time but actually I am doing fine. I will continue to post on this blog about the progress of my project.

On this date, I continued my first piece of Sonatina and I followed my supervisor's (which is also my music teacher) advice on changing the the chord progressions on bar 12-15 of the piece. After I changed it, what my supervisor said was true, it sounded better and the progression of the chords are not too far from each other. I continued the piece until bar 22.

I think that for the next parts of the song, it has to be much harder than the previous bars because I think that it is quite easy. Next time I will continue making this piece until I have decent progress.
