Today is Halloween, but since I have been posting every Friday I decided to continue on. I am going out with some friends and I am bringing my ocarina. Playing for others is always better than just practicing and amazing people with a small clay flute even more so.This week I haven't done much. I have the next website deadline today so I have been working on that. But other than that I just keep practicing and slowly learning new songs. Cause when I say learn a song I mean by memory. So I can just play it whenever I want.
I haven't learned any new songs this week, but I do have something to blog about. This week I got to take my ocarina to a fall festival dinner thing. I got to play it for my friends and they all thought is was amazing. One of the best things about this project is being able to take my ocarina around and play it for other people. Now I just need to expand my library of songs.
This week I have learned another song which is the opening theme to the Hobbit. Its really cool and I love to play it for other people. Other than that I have kept up with how to play my other songs and keep trying to learn more.
I haven't been able to learn many new things, but I have started to try and transpose a song to play on the ocarina. It is a short song and I have been able to figure out about half the notes. It is coming along and I should have it done around the end of the project. I'll continue to keep my progress posted.This week I have learned the Song of Time. I am still trying to learn more songs Legend of Zelda songs like the Song of Storms and Zelda
's Lullaby.This week I have learned how to play Happy Birthday and have gotten another source for tabs on the website.
Just for clarification this isn't my first week on the project, but my first week posting about it. I'll do a quick recap to get this caught up.
In the first week of the actual project I picked out my topic of being to learn the ocarina. In the second week I did research on the history of the ocarina as I didn't have one to play yet. In the current week I have finally gotten my ocarina and have started to learn how to play it. |
