Music Theory Class
First thing we did was putting our electronic devices in front. Then, I was moved to the row in front in the piano group section which I did not know at first. We were then given a sort of quiz of scales. While doing, Michael Buble's "Always on my mind" played as background music. Then we stand for singing exercises and "Always on my mind", then each group take turns singing. Next was Michael Jackson's "Heal the World". We sang it together until we do not know how it sounds. So, his video was played to hear the tone and pitch. Next week, I should prepare for the singing assessment especially if we want to sing a different song. This is so that the music teachers can provide accompanion for us. For the blog, I remember my password, so I decided to use my old blog for the task. I should then add every session's reflection regularly.
Music Practical Class
In today's class, we were asked to write down the major scales that we play yesterday, which is C,D,E,F,G,A,B major scales to our notebook. We were asked to include the key signature and name of notes. While doing this, each was called to play the scales. I played the contrary scale 2-4 octaves but was not satisfied because it isn't really fluent. So next week I should practise it more and think about joining the music club every Thursday. We were then told about a song which is a classical tune that we must play for this term.

Music Theory Class
In today's class, the first thing that we did in this class was checking resources. I brought my complete resources. We were then told that there will be a pop western singing assessment. We can choose our song or by the choices that are given. The song must be about human relations or world issues. Then, our homework of major chords was checked. SOme students were called to write down the chords in the board, another name the notes in each chord and others were asked to name a random chord by not looking at the board. Then, we were asked to identify whether each chord sounds happy or sad. We were told that those sound happy was a major chord and sad a minor chord except for the seventh chord - diminished. Next we discuss the difference of major and minor which was the interval. The major has interval of 1,1,1/2,1,1,1,1/2. Chords sthat are major include the I,IV,V minor include II,III,VI and the diminished VII. After that we were told to write G major scale and I-VII chords in our music book. The chords were for homework. Next discussion is about our reflection task. We were shown of the blog website, an example of a blog and what to include in our reflection. We were told the criteria for music class which was Knowledge and Understanding, Application, Reflection and Evaluation and Personal Engagement. I think I will have to make a new blog since I forgot hte password of my old blog. Then we were given the MYP Learning Plan and Task booklet. We were also explained about a presentation that we must do in groups about music genre. Then we discussed the rest of the booklet including two videos that I must have in my blog of each maximum 2 minutes. For next session, I should prepare for the singing assessment, the blog and the chord homework but I have done the chord homework in class.
Music Practical Class
For practical class, each of us played the major scale from C-B in two octaves. For next lesson, I was asked to play the contrary version of each major scales. I think I did okay although I forgot to begin with teh fourth finger for the B sclas so I still need some practise.

Music Theory Class
Today, we took our attendance first then we revise some of the points in the essential agreement we had yesterday. Then, we sorted out the draft of division of instrumental group. The old students who picked their division of class got like a VIP place, not needing an audition. The others, had to do an audition fighting for the limited seats in the guitar group. The piano group which was full earlier had volunteers moving from piano to violin and another dropping the class for other group. A while later another one move to piano group so the group was full. The guitar group did their audition with the old students playing too.While waiting for the judge of the audition, which were the music teachers, we were asked to open our music book making C major sccale and major chords. Next, for our homework, we were asked to complete the chords from chord III to VII. For this class, I did brought my complete resources. Next lesson, I would also bring them regularly each session.
Music Practical Class
In practical class today, there is less time for us to play each. So, the new students get to play. Only some got their turn to play and I did not get any chance. Since I am not a new student and that Mr Herry asked the others so he can know approximately the standard of playing of each student. For next lesson, I should just prepare for a practical lesson by playing the scale which was common to start the lesson each term.

Music Theory Class
I am now in Grade 10, having my first music theory class. In this class, I found out that there are many new students on my class. They were all called up front to introduce themselves, saying their names, previous schools and the instruments they played. This was done after taking our absences/attendance. Since we are having our first music sessioln, we were introduced th rules and regulations in our class and how we are divided into 4 groups for instrument class. Eventually, we were asked to fill in a paper choosing the instrument we like to learn. Then, we discussed the IB Learner Profile and talked about how music class affects the Learner Profile. The rules or the Grade 10 Music Essential Agreement was then introduced and discussed. All of us have to follow them. Today's music class is quite interesting as the music teachers did a quick performance on jazz and blues. Last, because there wasn't enough time to fix the division of groups, it was set aside for next music session. There was too many people in piano and guitar group which needed sorting out. For next class, I will have to bring all my resources to class including music book, journal, clear holder, notebook and my writing materials. We all do not have to bring our instruments next session as we will only have theory sessions.
