Reflection 9 - September 14, 2011 - Wednesday

Today I did the music notation test. It wasn't pretty hard but the inversion part still confused me a lot times. Then Mr. Herry told all of us to go to our instrument class after the 40 minutes test. He also reminded us about the western music booklet that is due on Tuesday. So at home Im gonna start researching ab

Today, before practicing our sonata song, Jesslyn did her singing assessment. And then I chooses the song I am going to play for the assessment. I chooses Sonata by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozard. Its a pretty hard song because I just started learning it a week ago and if there is another sonata song, I will probably change the current Sonata song I am playing. But when I played the song to Mr. Herry, he told me that its not a real sonata song but because its still a sonata song, I am going to play it anyway. After all of us played our song, he explained us and gave us homework. He wants us to make an 8 bar composition song. So at home, I am going to do it.

Reflection 8 - September 13, 2011 - Tuesday

Mr. Herry gave us a quiz today for the preparation of tomorrow's music notation test. He said it was the same questions for tomorrow's quiz. I didnt really know that we'll have a quiz tomorrow so I didnt really study anything but because today is just a practice, I ask Mr. Herry with notes that Im still confused about. And he also reminded us about the western music personal booklet. After the presentation, Mr. Herry told all of us to do another project by, for me, making a booklet about pop western music. Mr. Herry also teaches us music notation for those people who are still confused.

In instrument class, me and the other piano students listened to a group who haven't present their presentation about western music. After that, Mr. Herry discussed us about the Sonata song that we are going to play in November/December. So at home I will search the Sonata song that Im gonna play for the test.

Reflection 7 - August 16, 2011 - Tuesday

Today is my singing assessment day and I am VERY nervous because I dont really have time to practice at home. I have a lot of homework the previous day and a western music power point to finish. I was editing the power point with one of my team mates outside the music room and when I came in, Mr. Herry told me it was my time to do the singing assessment. I was very very nervous! I thought we're gonna do the power point presentation first then the singing assessment or at least Mr. Herry giving me and my other class mates who haven't done the singing assessment time to practice but he didn't. So it was my time to sing and I couldn't even start singing the first line. I was very unprepared and Im not really good with public speaking AND public singing so I guess I know that Im not gonna get a good score with this. So after my other class mates sing their song, its time for my group to do the presentation. I think me and my group did a really good work with the presentation except not having cards to read. But because I did my work for the power point, I understand what I write. After that, Mr. Herry gave us some comments about our presentation. And then I listen to other presentation. 

Today is also my last day to be in school. 

Reflection 6 - August 10, 2011 - Wednesday

Today is the 3rd part of our singing assessment. I didn't get a chance to sing because we have instrument class so on Tuesday, I am going to do my singing assessment. Im very nervous because I cant really sing in public so I hope I practice good enough so I can sing in front of the whole class. I also have to finish the western music power point with the rest of my team mates.

Today all of us played the major 7 again. I didnt practice at home because I dont have the time to do it but on the weekend, I will make sure I practice major 7 chord.
