Music Reflection #4 (26 January 2011)

Today we had a disscussion on classical music. We were given the homework to read the handout on classical music the previous day and I did read it but i didn't know that we were supposed to do our own research to be more prepared for this disscussion. If I were given a similar task next time, I will do my individual research even if I were already given some notes on the upcoming disscussion so I will have more knowledge on the topic. I learned a lot of new things from this disscussion and I think this disscussion is very usefull in understanding the history of the making of those classical music. Mr. Herry explained more details on the individual essays we are supposed to submit on the second week of February. He said that he's going to give us the guidance questions next week. I think he should have given it earlier so we have more time to prepare our essay. Yesterday, Mr. Herry told us that we will be having our singing rehearsal today. I came prepared with 2 songs. The first song is a chinese song entitled Tong Hua by Guang Liang and the second song is The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston. Because Mr. Herry said songs that are not in English aren't allowed, I sang The Greatest Love of All. After the rehearsal, I think I have to do more practice in adjusting the pitch of my voice so I will be able to reach the high notes in the song. I will also start memorizing the lyrics of this song so I won't have to see the lyrics while singing next week.

We only have around 10 minutes for our instrument class. Mr. John tuned our guitar and checked the last week's assignment to those he had not check yet. But the time made it possible for only 1 student to be checked. I didn't do anything during the instrument class. I just played my guitar and relaxed a little bit.
