BACH SUITE #1–
Bach Suite #1 is a favorite of mine.
Today, I practiced it with my son. My son played the piano and I played the
CELLO….you know the cello…smaller than a bass, larger–way larger than a violin or viola.
So anyway, we made a quick duet together.
I gave my son three cords, (G-MAJOR C-MAJOR D- MAJOR) He played at the beginning of the piece and then in the middle. I played single
strings G, C, D –while he played the cords. It worked out well. Then we both played the actual 12 measures in the beginning of the piece. My son should have been able to play the entire piece of music but it was a little bit difficult. Plus he was not movtivated to play —he wanted to play the music from Sweeny Todd….”Pretty Women”, Nothing’s Gonna Harm YOU”, and “By the Sea”. That play came alive to my son in the movie Sweeny Todd with Johnny Depp…( unknown) to be a great singer…but definitely a major talent–nonetheless…So I had to battle with my son to practice and find a good ending to the Bach Suite #1 before I would allow him to play the Sweeny Todd stuff.
It turned out nice….Very, very good indeed!

Music: Riveroflife CD–I Have Not Let Any One Hear My Music Yet! How do I get started?
my son\’s playlist jay jewelzJump in the RiverJust Another SpringDay by Lisa Joyful
This is my CD. This is the reason I call my blog Riveroflifelisajoy!
I wrote about 5 five songs on this CD.
I went to the Inside/Outside Recording studio in Manhattan owned by RobertTurley! I love to write music.
Robert has the best sounding music that I was inspired to write the words and create a melody to. I copyrighted my songs through the Library of Congress.
I have not sent my music out to any producers or record companies yet. Why you ask? I am scared! Scared of Rejection! Silly right? I wish that this blog had a sound ability so that I might let you listen to tell me what you think!
I have a style like Roberta Flack. I am not Areatha Franklin….although I have been told that I have that look?! I do not think I look like her…but being darkskinned and heavy people keep comparing me to her. I tell them I am not traditonal in sound. I am more mellow.
My songs are varied. Some of my music sounds INDIE, and yet some of my other music has a Jazz feel. The words are contemporary Christian and inspirational. I can write blues, or love songs too. I just chose to start off in my faith and then branch out.
I have to check into sound from my blog…I want you guys to hear my music so badly! Get back to you soon on this.
thanks!
