Music Reflection #2 (19 January 2011)

Today it turns out that one of the students who wanted to join the guitar group at first but then move to other instrument group decided to move back to the guitar class because of his parents' disagreement. That student's name is Daniel. I was a little bit scared because I thought there was going to be an audition since there is more than 7 people interested to be in the guitar class, but thankfully Mr. Herry allows all of us to stay in the guitar class. For the theory lesson, we learned about the composition of major scales. I actually learned it before so it is easy for me to follow the lesson. Major scales are different from any other scales because of its interval. The interval for every major scale is 1-1-1/2-1-1-1-1/2

This is an example of the composition of a C major scale.

A homework is also given to us which is to write down the G, D, A, E, B and the F major scales. I managed to finish this homework during class because I learned it before. 

Mr. Herry gave us the dates for our upcoming assesments. I am now aware that the individual essay is due soon. I will start researching at home so I won't rush and do everything at the last minute. I will also start thingking for a song to sing for the singing assesment.

Today we had our very first instrument class. Mr John tuned our guitars and he taught us some basic lessons on plucking the guitar strings properly. He also told us about the p, i, m, a. 

It was easy for me to follow the lesson since I learned it before. Mr John also gave us something to practice at home. Today's instrument class' time is very limited because most of the time goes to the theory class, therefore we couldn't do so much things today.
