On February 1st, we got up to the front of the class, one by one and improvised on the keyboard. A backing track was playing and we had to create a rhythm to go with it that only used the black notes. We all did it ad were surprised that all to notes went together. We were told afterwards that we were using a pentatonic scale and you couldn’t go wrong as all the notes go together. This is called a pentatonic improvisation and the reason why all the noted go together is because they are enharmonic. We then split off into pairs, I went with Emily, and one person did all the chords while the other did a pentatonic improvisation over the top. We had to choose a good backing track and sound for the piece and had to turn backing on. This means that when Emily played her chords down at the left hand side of the keyboard, the backing track would change to that key. We then performed our piece to the class.
