Piano in the Key of F(ern) pt.5

What is the difference between a piano and a fish?

You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish 

        It seems as though this project has come to an end, and it is time for my final blog post. In my first blog post I mentioned that I might post a video of me singing and playing piano, but I guess you will just have to read until the end of this post to see! (don't cheat)

    For my final post I decided to learn about something more advanced than anything I have done previously and that is, modulation. Modulation is basically the process of changing from one key (signature) to another in a smooth, logical manner. Generally, it is done to give new life to a song. "A modulation is also used frequently when playing a medley - it offers a smooth transition, or segue, from one song to another.

    The song wasn't that hard to play after I got the hang of it, but it did take me awhile to figure out how the modulation works. The book helped though, because it explained exactly when the modulation was and how it affected what notes to play.

    In the end, this was a really fun experience and I'm really glad I did it, because it actually helped a lot with auditions and competitions I was doing at the time.

    Do you think learning new skills or building off of skills you already know can help you in the long run? Why or why not?

P.S. you should be glad I didn't upload a video of me singing, you would have cried, and not because of how amazing it was.
