    2) Yes I did learn about inprovisasion.
    3) I found it quite easy to get the hang of inprovisasion because I have done a little bit on it before. But I do think I improved by the end the lesson.

  3. I played guitar I learnt that by using the chords to improvise a tune on the spot. I didn't find it that hard as you get a rythym by the end and carry on

  5. The instrument I was playing was the piano. Because I was working with Emily and Kieren, I found it quite easy to find an improvisation chord that we all liked and agreed to play. I think that my skill of the piano/keyboard did improve, and my improvisation. I found out that once you get into the hang of it, improvisation is quite easy.

  7. 1)I played the keybored. I learnt that to improvise you have to think very quick to be able to think of something in the spot.I found improvise challenging at first but when I got the hang of it it was ok. I liked the challenge of improvising.

  9. I think that everyone played in time so it made it sound really upbeat and fun, however i think that the keyboards were over powering so the other instrument couldn't be heard as good.
    I have learnt the chords well and played as a group very good, next time i will try to use both hands on the keyboard to improve my performing skills. Overall i really like our class performance. -mollieanne

    2.Improvision is about making up a piece of music on the spot so each time you probably get something different .

  13. 1) The instrument I played last week was the guitar.
    2) Something I leant about improvisation is that anything could sound really good or it can turn out quite bad.
    3)I found improvisation hard because I don't know how to play a guitar very well so that makes it harder for me to improvise.
