Music Reflection #5 (1 February 2011)

Today Mr. Herry distributed us some handouts that can help us in the making of our essay. I thought the essay is due on the second week of February because Mr. Herry said so last week but it turns out that it is due tomorrow. And instead of making a 200 word essay, we are expected to make a 500 to 1000 word essay. I panicked and I start being pesimistic. I started the essay before and it is only 200 words but I think I would like to redo it to make it even better. We also had our singing rehearsal today. Because I had my rehearsal last week, I do not have to sing again today or tomorrow. Mr. Herry told us that we will get an additional score if we sing while being accompanied by ourselves playing the instrument. I wanted to change my song to These Days by Chantal Kreviazuk since I can play the song in piano and guitar but I think if I play an instrument while I sing, I will be less focused on my voice so I decided not to change the song. Mr. Herry also asked us to go to http://www.teoria.com/ for our music theory lesson on major and minor chords.

We only had another 20 minutes for the instrument class today. I played the assignment Mr. John gave us with him. He also taught us a new song which is I'm Yours by Jason M'raz. I told him that I have some difficulty in playing chords that has bars so he gave me some instructions to practice it in order to make those chords work.
