Music Reflection #17 (12 October 2011)

Today, we watched our friends performing their composition. I was also asked to perform my composition. My composition is not quite done yet so I will finish it as soon as possible. And honestly, I'm not really satisfied with my composition.

Music Reflection #16 (11 October 2011)

Today, Mr. Herry checked the draft of my composition. He gave me some suggestions and I will use his suggestions and revise it at home. mr. Herry also reminded us to upload our video and update our blog. I will do it at home.

Music Reflection #15 (5 OCtober 2011)

Today I learned the meaning of en harmonic. En harmonic is a note that can be written in 2 different formats. Such as F# and Gb because F# is the same as Gb and Gb is the same as F#. Mr. Herry checked my composition and he said it was good. I will do a little modifications to make it as an A A' B A' form.

Music Reflection #14 (4 October 2011)

Today we watched the woodwind students' assessment. Then Mr. Herry asked us to compose a 4-bar composition. I didn't really like it because I'm not good at composing songs especially without my instrument by my side. I will continue my composition at home.

Music Reflection #13 (21 September 2011)

Today I'm hoping that I will be able to play my classical song fluently. I was still nervous and I slipped a couple times when I play. However, my rehearseal this time is better than my last rehearsal.

Music Report #12 ( 20 September 2011)

Today Mr. Herry reviewed about the 7th chords again. I didn't really listen to him which was a mistake because it is not so polite. I won't repeat it again. I also did my singing assessment which didn't go so well. Then, we watched our classmates practice in front of the class. I will redo my music report at home because Mr. Herry said mine needs visual illustrations to make it better.

Music Reflection #11 (14 September 2011)

Today we did the music notation test. I didn't find any difficulty in completing it. I find it rather easy. I will complete my report on the jazz music genre ASAP.

Music Reflection #10 (13 September 2011)

Today we reviewed about the 7th chords and its inversions. I was also asked to rehearse in front of the class. I can actually play it already but I got so nervous so I slipped a lot. I will rehearse it more at home.

Music Reflection #9 (7 September 2011)

Today we learned about the major 7th chords and its chord progression scale. It is easy for me because I've learned it before in my guitar lesson. I will choose a classical song to play for the practical assessment at the end of October.

Music Reflection #8 (24 August 2011)

Today Mr. Herry reviewed about the major and minor scales. I am familiar with the major scales but I am not familiar with the minor scales especially since there are 3 types of minor scales. I found out that the interval of minor scale is 1 1/2 1 1 1/2 1 1. But I'm not sure whether this a Melodic minor scale, Harmonic minor scale or Natural minor scale. Then we have the rest of the group presentations.

Music Reflection #7 (16 August 2011)

Today we did our presentation about the Western Music Genres. My group went first, we did kind of good but we blanked out when Mr. Herry question us. I should have read more about the genre I focused in so I will be able to answer his questions next time. I will rehearse at home for my singing assessment next week.

Music Reflection #6 (10 August 2011)

Today is also the singing assessment of the Western music genre. There wasn't any time for me to redo today so I will do mine next week.
