Today, we learned about Johann Sebastian Bach. Mr. John gave us all papers regarding this musician. After we read the handout, we did a short quiz which was actually very easy. After checking the quiz with answer, we proceeded to know our coverage of exam. It was about history and theory. After this, we got handouts regarding the history. Mr. Herry distributed us 5 papers to study.
Lastly, we also learned about Kodaly which was very interesting.

Today, we had the real quiz, which was also an assessment for the scale, triads and chords. After a short explanation from Mr. John, We started our exam and I finished earlier than others.
After this quiz, we got our scores for the singing assessment for Indonesian song called 'Gundul Gundul Pacul'. I got 8.5 out of 10. I am not very satisfied, but still I am going to work to get higher scores by doing this theory quiz. For the students who haven't done their assessment, they did the assessment.

Today what we did was only practicing for the own composition song performance assessment. I practiced with my other woodwind groupmates and we practiced in IT room since there were some parents practicing in our room. When I practiced, I also helped Jean for flute. However, I was little worried about my performance since I was still having problem to make a high tone.
I think I need to practice more to make a high tone.

Today Mr.John called out our scores for the last quiz. I got really bad...... which was only 57.5 out of 100........ :( My friends Tiffany and Ade got 100..... I felt so depressed because I could not do this properly while they did really good.
Since most of our class got low in this quiz, Mr. John taught us again about chords and triads, including the major 7th and dominant 7th.
When he explained again and I asked my friend for kind explanation, I could understand how to write correct chords and triads.
I am planning to improve the quiz next class which we are going to have a real one for the score in report card.

Today we started our lesson with thoery lesson about chords!
I felt really helpless since I did not know about diminished and augmented triads. Even though Mr. John explained to us, I was confused. Trying to understand, I only memorized how are the triads change when they become minor, diminished and augmented. After that, I took the quiz and I felt 'oh my god!' because I could not do it. Helplessely, I submitted my work to Mr. John and regretted to myself. It was again my new challenge to understand this topic for next quiz. We got the answer sheet of the quiz and I found that I have done many mistakes.
Today, other than quiz, we had Ian's saxophone performance. I was very impressed by his performance because Ian could blow the saxophone well even though it was really hard to learn Saxophone.
Today, we also started our assessment on Indonesian song which was called 'Gundul Gundul Pacul'. Since the time was not enough, Ade & Jayne and James & Andrew B only did their assessment. I still remember James did the very funny dancing within the music. :P

I did my performance assessment today! How nervous it was! I was preparing for my performance while others were playing inside the room. When it was my turn, I breathed once, and started my performance. I felt a little shy to play my own song. However, with Ms. Melvina's help of the background music, I could do better. After the performance, I wrote my reflection on the 32 bar song composition, copying to finale, and about my performance. I did my best to write the reflection.
By the way, I also saw aryo and emir's performance which was very impressive also! I really liked everyone's performance up till now!

Today! We wrote the final copy of our 32 bars composition! Since, I did not have many changes to my final, I could finish them in short time!
For my instrument class, I showed my song to Mr. Hary, and he helped me to fix wrong chords into right one. (Thankyou Mr. Hary!><)
When Mr. Hary helped other groupmates, I practiced my song alone. My song need a lot of practice because it has high melodies at the back part. This is my new challenge, for my performance assessment.!

What we did today was to write a draft for our 32 bars composition in a paper Mr. John gave us. I copied the song from my music notebook to the paper, and i finished quickly. After I finished, I helped my friends to write chords for them. Especially, I helped Jayne, Mark, Andrew B, and Jean! I felt happy because I could help my friends!:) ** It took long time for me to write chords for them....! Nevertheless, I feel i am not useless, at least i can help someone!
- no instrument class for today!-

Today we had a singing assessment!:( It was singing a song called 'What a wonderful world'! My pair to sing this song together was TIFFANY. I felt relieved because she sings very good. Before this assessment, we did 2 times of practice. When assessment started and when it became my turn, I was very nervous. However, Tiffany's voice made me calm. Her voice and my voice quite made a good match. After the exam, i felt my challenge had done, and i felt free! I was satisfied with the exam. However, I still wanted to repeat it because i felt a little inconvenienced. My challenge, which was to be brave in front of the class succeeded, mostly because of my partner's help.

Today, we sang 'La Bamba' all together. It was to practice again continuously from the last lesson. We also sang in groups. Piano group, Woodwind group, Guitar group, and Violin group sang in order. When we heard all of the group's singing practice who came out in front of the class, we could gain more understanding to the song. However! I had some challenges to this song because the song was hard in rhythm. I had to be cautious with the rhythm.
For the other song, we sang a song called 'What A Wonderful World'. It was a song by Louis Armstrong, a great jazz trumpeter and singer. When I saw the lyrics, I was impressed by the description of words. They were too beautiful. The melody of the song also seems to follow the lyric's beauty which was also nice. Next time, we are going to have a assessment for this song. I would like to prepare a lot for this assessment.
