Chapter 73 73 - Piano Skill!
When we got home, Ethan was even more excited to learn the song I was teaching him because he was going to have his first concert and most importantly, he was going to show it to someone he liked.
To help him do that, I put a lot of effort into teaching him everything I could so that he could improve as quickly as possible.
With my help and strong motivation, Ethan was learning and improving much faster than before, so the time passed quickly as he practiced and I used my free time before going to the concert.
Unlike yesterday, where the show had a lot of drama because of the arrogant singer, this time it was much more relaxed, with me just enjoying myself while Jason recorded the show and the audience's reaction.
Since I was performing in different bars, in most places there were still no people who really knew me well, at most there was one person who was in another bar I sang in who could sing my songs from the beginning.
So I used that to create more content for the audience.
Since there was someone who could sing my songs, I paid some attention and interacted with that person enough that other people saw me as more approachable and paid more attention to the show.
By using this strategy, my skill level also increased again.
[Stage Presence Lv 2 -> 3].
Having another level of Stage Presence increased the quality of my performances even more, made me more comfortable with the audience, and helped me interact with them even more easily.
The difference from level 2 to level 3 was big, but not as big as from level 1 to level 2.
When I came home from school the next day and weighed myself, I had a big smile on my face.
[Weight: 85 Kg -> 81.5 Kg].
It's a great change that has already reduced the size of my belly even more and made my muscles on my body even clearer.
The way it's going, even though it's not popping out as fast as it used to, I think by the time I sing at the wedding on Friday, I'll be slim enough to buy a suit.
Even though I'm a rock singer, it would be disrespectful to sing at a wedding in the clothes I normally wear, so I was willing to go with Selena to buy a suit.
I had no experience in this area, and since she was very elegant, her opinion would be very important.
Of course, before I told her, I had to send her the song.
With the lyrics in front of me, I checked that everything was all right and recorded a version of the song on guitar and sent it to her with the request that she check it out and if she liked it, request the copyright of the song in my name.
[Noah... you wrote this song in one day?!] She replied a few minutes after I sent it to her.
[Yes, did you like it?] I asked excitedly, knowing how good this song was in my previous world and how well it fit the story the couple had described.
[It was perfect!] She replied. [Are you going to sing the song like that?]
[No, I want to learn some more piano to play it on the piano at the wedding]. I replied.
[That song with the piano in the background... I doubt if anyone can hold back the tears...] She replied.
Laughing, I agreed with her; when that song was played at weddings in my previous world, it was hard to hold back my emotions.
With her confirmation that she would send the song to get the copyright before sending it to the client, Selena concentrated on sorting it out while I concentrated on improving my piano playing.
Since the keyboard we bought had already arrived, I'd already tested it a bit and obtained the [Piano Lv1] skill, which laid the foundation for me to learn better and play the most basic songs, but that level wasn't enough for a wedding performance, let alone a song of this level, so I needed to increase the level of that skill as soon as possible.
I had already done my homework and the two pieces of artwork I had to turn in today, so the rest of my day could be focused on improving my piano level and editing my first vlog.
Since I wanted the first video to be of good quality, I wasn't in such a hurry to post it, as long as I posted it by Friday, I would be satisfied.
Ethan was next to me practicing his ukulele while Liv was in her room practicing her violin.
She usually practiced in the basement as well, but the mix of the three songs we were practicing got in the way, so she went back to her room to practice.
Having the three of us practicing at the same time could drive anyone crazy, but my mom took it very well, coming in every few hours with a big smile on her face to bring us some snacks.
When I asked her the reason for that big smile, she told me: "My three children are so dedicated to something as beautiful as music, should I feel anything but pride?"
With that answer from her, I also got a big smile on my face as I continued to practice and improve my skills.
[Piano Mastery Lv 1 -> 2:
Effect: Develops a better understanding of piano techniques, increasing confidence and skill in playing by 2%. This includes advanced skills in technique, musical expression, and interpretation. It also improves retention of music theory knowledge and practical application during performance by 2%. Gain a tangible advantage by absorbing the fundamentals of agile and expressive piano...]
With another level of Piano Skill, I was learning everything faster and the quality of my learning was getting higher and higher.
Concepts that I didn't know when I first started were now gradually becoming ingrained in my mind, as if I had really been practicing them for 2 months, even though I only started to really dedicate myself to them today.
2 months of practicing a single song meant that I could play it well enough not to be embarrassed, but that wasn't what I wanted.
My goal was to focus on the skill levels while practicing just that one song over the next few days so that I could play it almost perfectly.
I knew I couldn't reach perfection on a song with at least 40 levels, but if I could get the skill to Lv 10 by the day of the wedding, that would be great.
Unlike Stage Presence, which I only practiced for 4 hours over the weekend, Piano could be practiced for several hours every day, so the level should rise very quickly!
