2 Sep 2009 Wednesday

Starting with the performance from Jean with her flute, We heard songs from Calista and Ian also who were playing saxophones. I felt surprised that they could actually play the instrument well although they were new learners. During the saxophone performance, I felt I would like to learn the Saxophone.

After all the performances finished, we learned about chords of major and minor. There were symbols and scale for each chords. Especially, we had major, major 7th, minor, minor 7th, 6, 69, for both major and minor and dominant 7 and minor 7.
I alreay learned this before, but I felt new when I was reviewing this. But, the explanation was clear that I could understand them. After learning about the chords, we proceeded to learn about the accidentals, including sharp, flat and neutral. Mr. Herry showed examples by drawing the piano on the board. Such as 'd flat = c sharp', we learned that this is called enharmonic tones. It was great to learn the new terminologies.

For the term test, I would like to memorize them all and save in my knowledge space in my brain.
