19 March

Today in music 8 students from different instrument classes (including me) practiced in font of the class. i didnt feel nervous or anything and i felt confident instead. i only had to do the scale A major scale on my violin and play my music composition, but only 8 bars of it. I feel like i could've done better though, so when I go home, I have to practice more. personally, i think all of us need more time to practice.

15 March

Today in music, Mr Sadrack FIANLLY converted our (as in violin class students') songs into A. We've been waiting for so long and we're happy he finally did it for us because we dont know how to convert a song, and we need it to be converted so we can play it. We also saw more of our friends practice their music compositions. I think i should learn how to convert my own song, so i don't have to depend on Mr sadrakh, because i know he has alot more work to do besides helping me.

12 March

Today in music class we practiced our dance movement compositions for PE. All of the groups from our class performed, including mine. i'm in the first group so my group and I perform first. we manage to do the movements perfectly, but our movement composition was too fast, because we followed the beat of the song that was playing. after that, we figured out that we have to do it rather slowly, so our movements stop as the music stops. i learnt to collaborate with my group and listen to feedback.

8th March

Today in music I saw some of my friends from class practice playing their music compositions. 1 from guitar, 1 from piano, 1 from flute and 1 from violin. We saw them perform so we would know what would happen later in our real assessment. This taught me that i have to practice really hard and do my best during my assessment, and wish for the best.

27th February

Today mr Hary explained to us how to use finale again, since some of us are still confused. even though I already submitted hard copy (printed) i still need to submit the soft copy (email). luckily, i already have so i dont have anything to worry about.

20th February

Today Mr Hary taught us about finale and how to work on finale, like how to use it and how to edit the composition. He told us that we had to type a 32 bar melody composition into an application called 'finale'. i submitted my composition early (on the 24th). I didnt put the chords on the paper because i didnt know i had to, but he didnt deduct my score because i was early.

13th february

Today mr Hary and Mr Herry explained to us what we should do to our Baroque music booklet and what it should contain, and how it should look like. i understood them completely and was ready to do the task. I submitted it on the 20th and i almost got a perfect score. my points were deducted because i didn't submit it in spiral binding. Next time, i have to bind it correctly.

9th February

Today in music we made our own composition with our instrument group (i'm in the violin group). we had to make 16 bars and i thought it was fun to make and it turned out to be good. next time, i think i have to improve on my songwriting skills. I'm glad that Mr Hary will give us tips on how to make a good melody with chords next week

6 February

Today in music we did more notations on notes and scales, Mr. Hary also gave us tips on how to write a song. we wrote our own 4-bar melodies and some of our melodies were played. i can't wait to learn more next week.

2nd Februrary

Today in music i learnt about counting the beats. 1 black note equals 1 beat, 1 white note equals 2 beats, one white note with a dot equals 3 beats, and a note without a stick equals 4 :) i wrote them down just in case i forget ( which is unlikely). Next time, we have to make a booklet about baroque composers and the era they were in. better start researching!

30th JAnuary

Today in music class we did a notation on scales again ( I thought this was getting boring, but i knew we had to learn it to write songs, so i listened to the teacher.) After that, we saw our friends redo the singing assessment because they didnt do too well on the first try.

26th January

Today in music class we had he singing assessment. We sang in duets and i sang with Astrella. we found out that we both had a 10/10 score, which was very good and we were very proud. I thought i did well, and so did my classmates.

1st day of term 3

Today Mr Hary taught us about scales and we also sang an Indonesian song entitled Hari Merdeka. I liked it and it was fun, but I wanted to have an instrument class. We will have a singing assessment on the 26th of January so that means I will have to practice!
