How did my understanding of blues change after my first performance?
My understanding in blues changes, because blues musician have to play their instrument right or else the song will be a mess. the music can be fast and also slow, that's hard to do it. and yet they can do it. everyone in the class can play their 12 bar blues very good, last week (19 & 20 march) but I didn't because I was so slow at the song, and the tempo is going too fast for me. Today me and my group were going to play the assesmnet again. but because there were only 4 of us in the music room (Sarah, Anti, Ihsan, and me) the assesment was cancelled. and so did other subjects in school

My understanding about the improvisation in blues is more better. Now I understand more about it and also I can play the 12 bars blues myself well. but since my song got converted to an A-chord I have to get used to it soon or else I can't do my assesment very well.
In instrument class, I improved my skills on playing my 12 bars blues, because thre are some chords that are a bit not easy for me to play. but I keep on practicing on that part with my ensemble friends.

The roles of blues in development in jazz is that the blues invented the medium swing for sad songs. then Jazz makes a song using the mdium swing too. creating a sad feeling for the jazz songs all over the world. but in such a way there weren't any differences when hearing them. it's identical yet diffferent.

In instrument class, we practiced our 12 bar blues and we also checked our 12 bar blues song again to see what's wrong with it to Mr. Hari. and my song got changed from the original C-chord , to a higher A-chord in order to match my friends baby saxophone

My challenges working on my 12 bar blues finale task
It was easy and hard to make a song out of only a few chords. it's easy because you know what chord you have to write, but it's hard because the chords aren't really combined together perfectly. I can make a song out of it, a good song actually. but it's hard to make that song and played it on my saxophone.
