12 bar blues

reflection question: how is my progress playing my own 12 bar blues?

now that im already fluent at playing my own 12 bar blues, we expanded our skills and played it as an ensemble together with the rest of the piano students. in order to make it more challenging, we took turns on playing each of our own parts and combined all our compositions at the end so it'll be more variative. i think that our ensemble is already quiet good although we should remember to keep the tempo steady.

in instrument class, we practiced our 12 bar blues alone with the headphones. i think i've done pretty well since i have minimized and fixed the errors. i should improve my playing by adding accents and a jazzy feel to it.
