Jumbo shrimp...

Hello everyone! I am back with another blog post. I have made progress on my 20time and I plan on posting a video soon. This week, I realized that my 20time project is endless, and that there is no real end product. Even though I plan on reaching this end result, I haven't been following my timeline exactly. Factually, my 20time isn't the same as I originally planned. Maybe because rushed my idea for pitch day, but I am still playing piano and posting videos on it. Here is the breakdown:
Song mash-up:
I haven't done too much work on this, but is definitely on my mind. I am debating my choices of melodies for my next portion of the song. In the end, I will probably post two videos on the two routes I wanted to go because both songs have a really nice bridge. My part two ended my Stay with Me melody and bass, so I was thinking INTOO(I'm not the only one) melody and bass. After that I would do SWM melody and INTOO bass for the bridge, then vice versa.
Canon in D:
This is a classical piece I always had a love for, but never got a chance to fully learn. I was grounded for a month so I spent a lot of time learning it, but I'm only at about measure 27. At that point the melody switches to sixteenth notes and the bass slowly goes down the E flat scale. It is challenging but I am trying to learn it, because it was one of the first songs that made me want to play piano.
Just Give Me A Reason:
I spent majority of the weekend trying to learn this song, but I ran into serious problems. The first chords are fast and one requires 4 fingers. Also, some are minor chords so it involves sharps and flats that are hard to play consistently. After this, the song is really slow so I shouldn't have a problem.
Hold On We're Going Home:
I learned this entire song in 7th grade, but never bothered to learn the bass clef part. For one reason, bass clef was pretty boring to me, but I realize the importance of it now. It is the equivalent of having a band without any tubas, trombones, tenors, and basses. Technically, you still have a band, but it is lacking certain parts that compliment the melody. I also neglected the bass part because I wanted to show my friends on mallets and that would require a college level student to play both parts simultaneously on mallets. Also, I wasn't as adept at reading bass clef because I wasn't playing tuba
Happy:
I also learned this in 7th grade, and I only played the treble clef part. The same rules for Hold On We're Going Home were applied here.
Miscellaneous(Short):
I could learn various short songs and combine it into one video. Similar to what I did on my Right Hand Man video.
Miscellaneous(Long):
There are various songs I simply gave up on. Some examples would include Rude, Trumpets, Skyfall, Rolling on the Deep, Fur Elise, Uptown Funk, etc.
Summary:
I have a few things to work on.

This is a program I use to learn songs. This song above is Skyfall.

Montaulets........

Good afternoon readers, I am here with another blog post. I have made progress on my 20time project, but I haven't posted a video on it yet. As it time passes, I notice it is becoming harder and harder to find time for my 20tume project. I barely have enough time to blog consistently, let alone record and play. When I do record, it takes maybe an hour or two, because it takes a few tries. Also, it requires a little editing. I practice all the time, even perfectly sometimes, but it is hard to record myself because my laptop is an awkward position. These are my biggest grievances with 20time, and each day it starts to feel more like a project. Even though I have time in class, I can only blog, and watch youtube videos. Procrastination is not a problem, I'd much rather do this than some of the work I do in other classes. To conclude, I am starting to see the problems I originally saw in 20time. Au revoir....

Autumn Summer...

I posted two new videos, hence making progress on my 20time! This is the link to my channel homepage: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMavyMMH1ip_hMvZMCA8HZQ
This attempt was a lot better than my first one, because I played somewhat less. This is why I came to the conclusion of posting short videos every week on my progress on the song mash-up, instead of posting one every few weeks. If I were not to make any progress on a song mash-up for that week, I could post a different video or combine all of the previous weeks of progress on the mash-up into essentially a song. Eventually, I will have the final song, which will performed all in one go. Also, I will post other songs on piano that may/may not be combined. Most of them will be impossible to combine, but I could try. My blogs are getting shorter, but I don't have much to say. I still don't feel great about 20time, because I didn't care for the pitch day. I didn't mention that in my blog, because it didn't feel necessary. Until next time....

If you are reading this, it's too late......

Good day everyone! How was the break? I had a decent one, spending a lot of time at my cousin's house in Riverdale. Luckily, he didn't have a piano, so another score on me not making any progress for 20time! I wanted to start posting videos during the school week, but the last school week I had 7 test grades! The only classes without test were Band and Health. Furthermore, I will try to post videos during the school week. If I can do this long enough and it will become a good habit. This will probably be my shortest post, since again I did not make any progress on 20time. I just have to keep looking forward and move on, can't dwell on it. Sorry for the wait...

Misspelled numbers...

Good afternoon, everyone!!!! I am back with another post of my adventure in 20time. Honestly, I can't describe what I did this week. I didn't post any videos, but I gave more in-depth thought to my project. If you haven't seen it already, here is the link to my channel's homepage: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMavyMMH1ip_hMvZMCA8HZQ
To sum it up, I had a mid-teen crisis...
Not really, but I learned a lot about piano this week. Any tone, any combination of notes, any REAL pitch can be expressed on piano. It scared the life out of me, because I know how hard it is to write sheet music. I also know how hard it is to play piano. However, the simplicity of it all is leaves me in awe. I can't explain it, but I basically learned that any song can be played on piano. Its like learning multiplication before addition, so when someone teaches you addition you say "I knew that, in a way...." You would feel a weird, and have a huge ohhhh moment. It is awesome, and I will try to play a song without youtube videos, sheet music, etc.  Right now I am afp(away from piano), but when I return home I have five hundred billion, twenty-one million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, and thirty song to try to play. I have made some more progress on my song mash-up, so I will post that as soon as possible. It is approximately the Hook 1, Verse 2, Hook 2, and the Bridge with what I already played. I just have to play it correctly or with minimum mistakes, unlike my first attempt.You can expect a video, between now and Tuesday. Until next time..

Hypothetical theoreoms.........

I'm back for my second post in a row(not really) like I promised!!!!!! I vowed I would do a video and its meh..... The video is an ATTEMPT so I guess it can be meh... In the process, I learned basic editing skills so that's a plus. I created a another youtube account, which was very difficult since I had to make a new gmail. That gmail is: bnaturalpianoguy@gmail.com. And drumroll please............ I have not 1, not 2, but a hysterical 3 videos posted as of now. 
My first attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfxNtjqS4fs
I know its not a lot but its a start. In reality, I have composed my intro, verse 1, and like a few seconds of my Chords 1. It will be a full song in no time.
Hanging Tree:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNmvYhn6vBA
This is for my Hunger Games fanatics, part two is coming next week for sure.
Tribute to ELHS Marching Band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m4P39S2p5A
For my band peeps.......

To conclude, I have a working channel to post piano videos. Here is the link to the homepage: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMavyMMH1ip_hMvZMCA8HZQ
In other news, I did my pitch last week. It was okay I guess. And that sheet music, I lied, it was just popped up when I searched "hardest sheet music ever". Be sure to like and subscribe my channel so I can get paid for showing ads!! Goodnight, I have Naruto to watch. Also I will try to keep the weird titles for my blogs that make no sense, but absolute sense. I JUST REALIZED WHAT A PARADOX IS. Jay signing out.

Hello viewers and welcome to Jaylen's Chronicles of 20Time.

I'm am a little behind on posts.... so I am doing two back-to-back posts today and tomorrow. This never before seen event will be covered your's truly,monsieur Jaylen.

I am proud to announce I have decided project(actually I decided a week ago but who's counting). The trumpets play and the drummers roll...........I'M PLAYING PIANO!!!!!! I will attempt to combine two songs into one "mash-up" as seen on Glee. For my teachers, you already know my project, but for others you have just been informed.

Also, there is no point in doing two post for a week, because they do not carry over for the next week, unfortunately. However, I will try do a Youtube video tonight, and blog about it tomorrow. Mrs. Vessell and Mrs. Teknipp, suggested(in a different way) that I combine my first three project ideas into one. Basically, I post songs that I play on piano on youtube, and also try to make my own songs from those songs. This is my REAL 20Time project......
Also I successfully ATTEMPTED  to combine two songs and its not bad. I will post my attempt on youtube and this blog tomorrow, so don't expect anything special since I just formulated this in a
couple days. I can't tell you the two songs, or anything really but it goes a little like this.......

I know...I know.... biggest cliffhanger ever, but unless you got this post as a notification, you won't have to wait that long day my die hard fans did for my next post. Also, if you can read that music you would know what song that is..........  

This is where a end the first part of this two day extravaganza. As you can see I know how to post pictures!!!!!! If you made it this far in the post I have to say........ your a teacher grading this. I really hope I can set up this channel and post this video as smoothly as possible.

The end of the beginning

I'm back. It's been a long time coming....
Its been a month since my last post and things are a lot different.
For example, I'm in health now so my 20time project is now a 40time project. I have a deadline so I have to know my project idea and present information about it in 3 WEEKS. Luckily, I didn't forget about 20time completely, just enough for me to have a month's absence from this blog. With that, I did have a few(more like 2) ideas.
1. Learn 5 songs and a masterpiece on piano.
I can play piano now, but not at an elite level. I will try to learn five normal songs, and learn a masterpiece like Fur Elise or Canon in D. This is quite time consuming, but in the long run it will benefit me.
2. Create a YouTube Channel and get _____ Subs/Views
(Not fully thought out but a world of possibilities open e.g piano tutorials, gaming videos, how-to do random stuff....,etc.)
3. Make a movie
Windows Movie Maker....... And I can post it on my YouTube channel. GENIUS
O.K it's not complete rubbish, but number 1 is pretty solid. I have all the materials(piano) and a little experience. If I finish learning 6 songs, I will continue until the death of this blog. I'll be free then, no troubles except for the other 5 classes, EOCT's, projects, last-minute assignments, and personal life. If I talked about that nonsense, it would be a personal blog. Hmmmmm.......
4. Make a personal blog
(Put my life into words)
5. Make a novel
(Put my personal blog into words)
Au revoir. Je deteste la francias vocabulaire. Pas vraiment.
