Do I have time to be creating a complex video of my performance of "Stille Nacht"? No. Do I do it anyway? Yes. I have no one to blame but myself.
So, I decided that in addition to singing the famed German version of "Silent Night," I will also be providing my own musical accompaniment. I'm a natural drummer, so I took a few moments to break out my snare drum and just play a simple, syncopated rhythm to go along with my song, just to jazz things up a bit.
I also decided to add a piano line. Now, I'm not gifted when it comes to keyboards, but I decided to simply play the track on my iPod using the Garageband app. How did I learn to play the simply harmony? Video tutorial!

I didn't bother with the left hand chords and kept it simple with the right hand harmony. So, my next step from here will be to put these tracks on iMovie and move into recording my vocals in order to put everything together. Of course, the focus is still on my German pronunciation, so I will put out the first verse next week for feedback, and add on as I go!
Things are starting to come together :D
