i am going to audition at Berklee, and i have no idea what to play/perform...i wanna play one of my own compositons...but i dont know if it will be good enough...it says that they want to hear something you are comfortable with, but something that shows your true ability as a musician...any help?
Yes I know. You must know the notes of that key and do it slow until know them by hard. I use to have the same issue when I first started. Also do some finger exercises and fingering technics to get your speed up.
I can never do that thing at :36 where he goes up real fast in arpeggios. My fingers never hit the right keys and I'm not really sure how I should practice it. Anyone know???
do the triads one set at a time. For instance: C,E,G...then the higher C,E,G...then even higher. Keep doing that and speed it up. THEN, connect them: C,E,G,C,E,G,C....and so on. Practice that slow and build your speed. You'll get it that way. Tell me how it works out...
I can't wait to go to college. I don't even know what reharmonizing is. I keep hearing it. Hey, yall should check out ricky draper, he plays a lot of this type of stuff.
its about how you feel and what exposure to other music you have. he maybe crazy but you can be too just study. alot of those chords ive played in a classical piece just in a different context
just check out the lessons here on youtube. And listen to a lot of the music...the harmonic concepts are essentially the same. 4 and 5 chords still resolve to 1 and half step and 5th motion are strong. Getting a teacher is good..but you should really just start listening and trying to copy what you see and hear first. A more organic process. Because that's how a lot of Black church musicians learn. oral tradition.
NOOO WAAAAYYY I sang this with my church choir at a service last Nov, and how weird is this, I live in London but my cuz from Thailand lives in Berklee and the one time I flew to Boston was during Jazz festival and I'd never been to Berklee College.Seems like I need a smack in the face for sleepin on this guy!!!!
Please chop his hands OFF... SOMEBODY!!!!! RIDICULOUS!!!! lol Dennis makes me SICK!!!!! I never could understand where he comes up with his chord ideas!!!! Looked like y'all was crammed up in 1 of them lil practice rooms on Mass Ave cuz I hear the organ next door LMAO!!!!
nah...we were in one of the classrooms in the 1140 Bldg...the classroom has 2 grands, 2 B3s and a bunch of motif 8s...dennis teaches a gospel piano/organ teachniques class at berklee now...its been a while since youve been on berklees campus...huh brandon?
LORD yes... TOO long LOL. Almost 4got about the 1140 building. I thought the clip was @ that "in the cut" joint on Mass Ave once u pass the music store. They always used to get mad cuz I would be blastin the organ & causin chaos LMAO. Is that wrap joint still on Mass Ave??? That was the SPOT!!!! LOL
this is.....soo good.....just so good....

You should play something that you're comfortable with, but also something that shows your true ability as a musician, I think.

No way! Is this Gospel? It's brilliant. I have always wanted to study black music. But most teachers are dumbass European classical teachers.
I hope I find a nice Jazz, blues and Gospel teacher. I'm in North Carolina(Lots of black people) I hope to study with a nice piano teacher!
