28 May
Today is the 2nd last day of music class. Today, Mr Hary told us our manual reflection scores. I got a 4 (for now) because ive never filled out my instrument reflections. He also told us our instrument scores, i passed because i got an 8.5! Next time i will update more regularly, i also have to submit a paper.

May 24
Today is the day of the instrument assessment. I was surprised that everyone had the chance to do their assessments today, because usually we don't have time and we have to continue the next day. I thought almost everyone was well prepared. By almost, i mean not everyone, and that includes me. I thought i wasn't well prepared for this assessment and I'm pretty sure i will get an unsatisfying score. I will hope for he best and i will practice more for our next redo.

21 May
Today almost everyone in class got the chance to go to the front and practice. Every one sounded very nice and everyone was also very prepared and ready. Even the ones new to the instrument were able to play so fluently, but it also made me a bit nervous because i'm afraid of having to redo.
14 May
Today we were given our scores for our written assessment. I got a 7/8 and i am very proud of it because i passed. After that, we played a little game where we Mr Hary would point on a note, and we would have to sing it. It was fun and it coached our pitching skills. Next week is the Instrument assessment.
10 May
Today we did the usual and let two people from each instrument class to practice their song in front of the class. Today, I am one of them and I had to play my song on the violin (Allegro). I felt good and I wasn't nervous, and that is a good sign because that means i won't have to worry too much about the assessment.
7 May
Today Mr Hary gave us notations on note-naming. After that, as usual, we let 2 people from each instrument class to come up front and play their song they will play for the instrument class assessment.I think I am ok, but i still need to practice because sometimes it gets squeaky.
3 May
Today we did a comprehension quiz on JS Bach. Mr Hary said we had to do this so it could boost up our written test score. After that, we started practicing our baroque songs for instrument assessment in front of the class.
30 April
Mr Hary is back to school today and everyone greeted him warmly. Today, he let us finish our written tests and update them, and this time he let us open our notes. I THANK HIM SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT! it made me boost up my score because I wrote in the spaces I left blank. Next time, I shouldn't leave any blank spaces at all, but i also need to be really sure with my answers.
26 April
Mr John substituted music class for today. today is the written test day and i felt i was ready. Mr. John even gave us 15 minutes extra time to study before we do the test. However, when I got the paper, there were questions that I didn't know the answer to. i didn't panic and decided to leave that space blank. Overall, i thought i did good and i also answered most of the questions, so I'm alright. if i were able to do this test again, i will make time to study more.
23 April
Mr. Sadrakh substituted the class for today because Mr Hary was in the hospital because of an accident. He talked about our upcoming written test and told us what we should study for, and what will be in it. He also gave a chance to some students who still needed to redo.
19 April
Some people didn't reach the passing score for the singing assessment, so those people redo-ed their assessments today. Mr. Hary said I didn't need to because I got a perfect score. Next week, there will be a written test about baroque composers and music, and I have to re-read my booklet to study for it.
16 April
Today we did our singing assessments. I got a perfect score! (10/10) i am very proud of myself and that score really boosted up my confidence, for only 3 people including me got a perfect score. I thought all of my friends did a great job, but i also feel that i need to be a better audience member and not laugh or disturb people when they are singing.
12 April
Next week, we will do our singing assessments, which is singing Santa Lucia. because of that, we practiced the song and did a few voice warm-ups. I am confident about the assessment because singing in front of a crowd isn't something that i find difficult to do.
9th April
Today is the first day of the 4th term. Mr Hary introduced us to the upcoming tasks and assessment. he also gave us a sheet of lyrics or a song entitled "Santa Lucia", and we sang it a few times. He also gave us back our booklets so we can study for the written test. The song was Italian, so it made it funner to sing :)
