Thank you for dropping by my music channel, your subscription, thumbs up & lovely comments. I discover the true joy of playing musical instruments in adulthood; it’s never too late to learn music. This channel is to document my performances as I progress through my musical journey in picking up the different instruments in this lifetime.
2014 - Electone @Yamaha Music School 2020 - Electone @Legend Music Academy with teacher Chen Chiang 2023 - Drum @The Academy Music Centre with teacher Adrian
Electone is not an easy instrument to learn but it’s extremely satisfying & a joy playing it. It’s like playing the whole band/orchestra by myself.
Drumming is super fun. It’s like playing alongside my favorite bands.
Big hugs & love to all my regular viewers who have, throughout the years, given me a lot of supports & encouragements thus motivating me to continue uploading my progress to share it with you. Your encouragements has made my musical journey a fun & an enjoyable one 😘❤️
@@joooon27 hi there ! Refer to the link on Yamaha music books for all instruments. The voicing for this version is special to ELS02C. If you have another model you’ll need to check the availability of the registration or buy another book/version that is compatible for your electone model. www.ymm.co.jp/p/result_f/fw_p/catcate/2

Thank you 😊. This video has copyright infringement but I think could be due to the orchestra video clips…. Or maybe from the song title. This song is rather popular compared to Possession of the Spirit. Luckily it wasn’t barred from viewing, just cannot monetize… I never know on what ground I was being strike hence for all my videos I just do what my heart wants without considering copyright issues.
@@josiemelody-2-U Yes it's hard to know unless they give you the details on the strike, if it's a music distribution company it could be more likely it's because you played it so well and it's so on point with the original song that RU-vid assumes it is the original song lol, I'd have loved to have used this one as well! Great job though
HI again ! Thank you for watching my videos 😃 and your lovely compliment 🌸. I am very happy to know that you have enjoyed and like it 💗. It encourages me to play and record more covers for my viewers 😉.
Hello! I really really would love to use your music cover for a video I am planning. Please could you reply to me and let me know if you will allow me to <3 こんにちは！私が計画しているビデオにこの音楽カバーを使用したいと思っています。 <3> を許可していただけるかどうか、返信してお知らせいただけますか。
HI 👋! It gives me pleasure to know that you would like to use my song cover for your project. It is very much appreciated if you could mention my channel in your video. I would love to see your video in which my song is going to feature in, so if there is a possibility of tagging me in it would be great 😊. My best wishes to your new project. Have a good weekend !
@@josiemelody-2-U That's amazing! Thank you so much! It won't be for a little while, I'm basically planning to build the bathhouse from spirited away and wanted to use the music, of course when i do I will make sure to tag you and credit/mention you as well and let you know it's up! Can I just ask, I'm guessing you didn't get any copyright notice from RU-vid for your almost identical rendition of this song?
@@LolsAtLance you’re welcome 😎. I am presuming you’re doing an animation of your own based on some of the originals. Although I don’t really understand what / how you did it (I did popped in your channel) but I think the animated scenes were really cool ! It looked like a lot of hours & efforts were put into it 😲. Regarding your question; yes for this cover surprisingly I did not get copyrighted infringement notification, unlike most of my covers 😭. May I know on what you based you assumption on?
@@josiemelody-2-U Thank you very much! Okay that's great news that you didn't get copyright infringement notification for this, really sorry it happened to your other covers though 😓. I didn't base that off anything, I just guessed 😆, I think your version is different enough that you didn't get notified. That's good news XD🙌😆. It will be a while yet but I'll let you know on here when I finish that project and it's live :)
Hi 👋 Thanks for watching my videos 🙂. My electone model is ELS02C so your model will not be able to use the accompaniment. In addition Yamaha data cannot be shared / copied as it’s locked by Yamaha. Please consult your teacher, he/she will be able to help you.
I've been wondering about the instrument changes etc., are they pre-programmed based on the timer or is she somehow making the changes during play? I imagine it would take a good amount of time to program and then to not lose a step while performing.
There are 2 ways we can operate the pre-programmed rhythm sequence & voicing. 1) program & allocate all the rhythm and voicing to the number sequence 1-16 in yellow-orangey light. We can change the number with our right foot where we rested on a volume control pedal. On that pedal there is 2 knobs. Left knob is to activate glide effect and right knob is to change sequence. Just give it a tap or push while playing to change sequence. 2) we can preprogrammed the sequence change by adding in the bar calculation (time consuming but is worth the effort esp performing). As you can see from my electone the running number on my left side is indicating the number of bars I am playing. I can program the sequence to change to voice number 7 at bar 20, voice number 8 at bar 22, voice number 2 at bar 32 etc. And yes, you’re correct in assuming that we have to be right on timing with our performance when we play using this pre-programmed data. If we are not playing on time when the sequence change, it will make awful sound & usually our listeners can tell that we have played inaccurately 😅. You may googled ELS02C pic to take a look at the right foot pedals to understand my explanation. For right foot we control 2 pedals - left pedal is for pitch bend, right pedal is volume control. Most time, we rest right foot on volume control pedal. Some of my later videos you can see almost both pedals. I hope I have answer you query 😃.
Thank you very much for the nice compliment 😃. It’s a boost of confidence knowing you are watching my videos & are enjoying it. Have a wonderful day AnnQueen🌸
Hi Josie. Good to see you back on RU-vid with another well-played song. I saw the Sound of Music film a couple of times back in the day but am not familiar with the Broadway version. Like the keyboard socks and the flat panda! 😄
Thank you Brian for always dropping by my channel❤. Sound of Music has the making of a good film… the captivating storyline + catchy songs. My apologies that I wasn’t able to post regularly .. life has been a little hectic lately & when has free time I just want to do nothing 😅😅. After months of not playing the electone the fingers & foot were a little out of sync 😩 … I better not be lazy for too long. The thing about musical instruments.. it needs constants practice… it’s not something you learned and chucked it aside thinking the skills will forever be there without practice 😅😅. Will plan another upload not too far away… I hope 😮💨. Have a nice coming weekend !
Thank you for always listening 😘. Was a little busy lately … wasn’t able to practice often. To tell the truth, after not playing for couple of months the playing deteriorated. Took me awhile to get the fingers & foot back to position 😅. Have you experience it before?
Hi 👋! Thanks for the compliment ! Your videos were great too .. I like how you combined all the different clips to go with the original song. Did you watched all those films & cartoons!
@@josiemelody-2-U I have, Thank u very much. Also side note, somebody needs to do a Metal cover of Villains World! Hell, Same with Its Our House Now, how the hell has nobody ever done a metal of that!?
@@heroldofvortos178 Metal cover probably you would want to search on drums or electric guitar / bass may have more musician covering it… I am still a beginner in drum so won’t be able to do it for now 😅😣. Have a nice coming weekend !
This is the greatest cover of this song. But 2 comments, if you went through this much trouble to be authentic then why didn't you do it in its original key of Ab. Also when the original version changes key it just goes up one whole step from Ab to Bb. You went from G major to C major. I mean it sounds great but it's not true to the original. ❤
Thank you very much for the nice comment 😄. You have sharp hearing skills. The reason for not in its original keys is due to the difficulty level. Most of my covers were played at intermediate to near advance level (there are few advance level songs here.. when I was in ‘crazy’ mood😜 I will practice till half dead & then recorded it for my music fans to share my achievements 😉). Electone is a hard instrument to play 😅😅. Till today I still struggle with many songs esp those in jazz / Latin genre…. 😣
quite amazing the coordination and as a electone player my self it is not easy to get the coordination mainly bc of the 3 sets of keys one for the right, another for the left and another for the foot
Thank you for your compliment 😊 Yes electone is a hard instrument to learn. It’s a challenging journey but a very rewarding one and it definitely helps me to pick up my 2nd instrument quicker 😁. Are you still learning to play the electone in Yamaha school?
Hi Josie. I enjoyed your rendition of this well-known Christmas song. Thanks for uploading Jingle Bell Rock. I wish you and yours a very happy Christmas! 🌲🎄🌲🎄 Brian
Thank you Brian for the lovely comment. It’s a fun song to groove along with the drum. I enjoyed it playing for your enjoyment. Have a nice holiday break. Wishing you & family a fantastic Christmas Ho Ho Ho 🛷 🎄 ☃️. Keep warm & be merry 😃
Thanks Josef ❤️. You are one of my Xmas songs fans😁. You always leave me a lovely comment on my Xmas song covers for the past few years. Have a Merry Christmas & a happy holiday 😄👋
Thank you Paulo for the lovely comment. The swing feel is kinda hard to keep a steady tempo but it is very nice to play. I really enjoyed learning to grooves with this song with all kinda fills-in and breaks 😁 to make it more interesting.
Thank you very much😊. Jazz genre are hard to play because they have a lot of unique chords & complicated rhythms but it’s very nice to listen to. I read you too just pick up keyboard & are taking lessons as an adult, just like me. Will check out your channel soon 😉
@@josiemelody-2-U Okay Josie , you play really well, my compliments👌, I am sure if you play the piano you can play much better than if you were taught on just the keyboard.
@@jacqueliensmit164 Thank you for your confidence in me on playing the piano. Before I picked drumming as my 2nd instrument I did thought of buying the Clavinova 🎹 but I changed my mind because I wanted to experience playing instruments from different ‘family’ so I chose percussion family. In couple of years later, if I am able to cope I might pick something from the string family😉. It’s fun playing different instruments, it give different feels to the player🥰🥰🥰.
Thank you for the compliment xx. I love the percussions 😄. Very exciting when playing along it. An enjoyable piece to play ! Have a wonderful Sunday🌻 Paulo
Right? Hahaha 😂 Cooling down the crowds. Looks really a fun event. Thank you for the compliment. It was a fun song to play & I have enjoyed learning it😄. Have a cool Sunday Brian 😉
@@juliadeborah8900 Electone is such an enjoyable instrument to play but I do know the time invested on practice is no joke😅. Perhaps later in life you’ll pick it up once again & post it on YT😬. Do drop me a notice if you do 😉.
Hi! It has been awhile since we last communicated. Hope everything is well with you. Thank you for the comment😊. I am glad you like it. Bon Jovi has many nice songs throughout their career. I may cover few more songs in a later future 😎. Lookout for it 😉.
@@josiemelody-2-U Yes, it was long time since I wrote you, but I have been always looking your nice videos. By the way, you have a good coordination. I saw that you are using both hands and feet.
Thanks Josef for following my uploads on both the Electone and Drumming. Both instruments needs good coordinations from all the limbs, esp drumming. However with Electone background, picking up drumming is not that difficult because we have trained our limbs to move different directions following rhythms 😏.
I have take a listen to the song you request. It’s a beautiful song and has been covered by many artists with their style. If I get the music notes I will play for you 😃. Thanks for your message and for listening to my amateur performance. Have a lovely day🌸
