Feedback For Learning Progress Apreciated
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 10:46 am
I would like and apreciate some feedback
Its now 5 Months since i started to play the Penny Whistle.
I "know" 11 Tunes which i can play by memory and some few more, which i cant play by memory only, but can play by sheetmusic (which i did learn to read as well, since may 2012 - well i still read it very slow and have to learn it much better)
After a "break" because i wasnt able to play my penny whistles, because of an airway operation, for a while, i did start again practising in the last weeks and i finaly start to feel not like a complete beginner anymore. That means, i find it easier to learn new tunes and started to like how i play.
I feel like i did take a first step.
Anyway, as learning without a teacher, just with books and online tutorials,...
Feedback is needed
So whoever would like to listen and tell me his/her thoughts about it, here are 3 recordings:
1.Scarborough Fair New recording from 2 weeks ago!
Listen: Scarborough Fair - Waltons Brass D Penny Whistle
Some of you may have listend to my first recording of this tune, posted in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=89148&start=15 , and i hope you can see a development.
- Better tempo i hope
- still some "mistakes" but i did take the first recording for a reason of naturality.
- i couldnt resist of adding echos it sounds nicer i belive
- i still had dificulties with the breath and tounge controll on the Waltons, specialy in the lower tones it has so much "chiff" when tounge it to hard and just a litle bit to fast air comes out, it seams to squeak at the beginning of the tones.
See this thread about it viewtopic.php?f=1&t=89415
But the more control of this chiffy little beast i get so more i like my waltons for its sound.
2.Down by the Sally Gardens
Down by the Sally Gardens - Waltons D Brass Penny Whistle
I did add some echo again
and think i can controll the chiff of the waltons better now
3. Last but not least, maybe i shouldnt post this at all
A little morning improvisation just playing along
spontanuesly improvisation - Clarke Penny Whistle - Original - D
maybe to sloppy for the good taste of some members here but it was fun and i did work on a part of that "melody" since this (recorded 2 weeks ago) and maybe one day it will sound realy nice
Thoughts, critic, opinions, hints and tips, own recordings for comparing, ... every feeddback is apreciated.
