Above the Calvary Mountain (갈보리 산 위에) - G. Bennard

0:00 The original ver.

1:29 16-beat ballad ver.

I'm going to tell you something you've been curious about. A book for the accompanists is in the final process of work. Now I'm going over what I said again. Speaking of which, I can clearly see the habit of speaking. Then, I thought, "The performance is the same..."

When I teach practical music, it's the first time for students, so they try hard to keep up with it. However, the accompaniment teaches the person who is already playing the accompaniment rather than the person who will perform the accompaniment in the future. People who are already playing accompaniment have tremendous advantages. They can apply what they've learned right away and feel the difference. They can share the difficulties and overcome them together. 

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of playing. If you make a mistake for a second, that time passes. If you move on like that, not knowing the chord, that is where the problems occur.

Chord, rhythm, whatever.

You get bad habits from trying to get out of course. You'd like to follow the teachings, but the accustomed habits won't let you go. The muscles in your hands move before you think. And it makes you feel more comfortable doing what you are doing than you've learned. 

Unfortunately, the fight between reality and ideals is too soon to compromise.

Whoever you learn from, you'll start from the basics again. Because all studies can't ignore the basics. The house built on sand needs to be rebuilt. No matter how good the decorations are, they fall apart quickly. Also, fancy decorations can speed up the collapse. What all teachers want to teach is a performance that comes out without thinking made of good habits.

I'm thinking about my performance again.
