Music Theory Class
Today in this class, I learned about major and minor 7th chord. We wrote down C major scale in our notebooks labelling the notes and also C major 7th, F major 7th, G major 7th, D minor 7th, E minor 7th, A minor 7th and B dim 7th. After that, my work was checked, I got one wrong because I was not sure when I want o write B dim 7th. After this chord activity, we did a rehearsal for our practical assessment next week but only some got their turn. I had my turn but I think I need a lot more pratise and also practise more confidence. Then, some of the piano group rehearse and two of the guitar group and one from violin. Next, I should prepare my song more and try to memorize it.
Piano Class
In this class, the one who didn't play before played in the piano instrument class. While they played, I cut my fingernails while waiting because it is too long and I forgot to cut my fingernails during the weekend. I was given feedback of my rehearsal before that I could lower down the speed to catch up the notes, especially the left hand and the middle part of the song which should be more fluent and soft in my opinion.

Music Theory Class
Today, we did our presentation. The ones who haven't done it yesterday did it today. I did it today. My group presented first. I think my group presentated good and I am also satisfied with the cooperation we had in doing the presentation and also the making of the powerpoint slides. I was told that we got perfect score. Next, we were told to do an individual report consisting of 20 pages about our topic which, in my case, is reggae music. This was due on 6 September, the same date for our practical assessment.
Piano Class
Today, I forgot to bring my book in my locker so I have to take it first. Then, I decided to play a piece from Edward Grieg from the romantic period of classical period. I think I played it not too well because there is some parts which is still not fluent. I must also cut my fingernails for next session and of course practise the song.

Music Theory Class
Today, we did our powerpoint assessment. At first, after checking our absences and resources, each group went to the school computer to save the powerpoint file in the computer. Then, we were given a reflection sheet for us to fill in after we did our presentation. The asesment begins after that, with classical group frist, then country, jazz rock and roll, reggae and popular. At first, the time is divided into 10 minutes each group but then, after the first four groups presented, we discovered that there isn't time for the rest group so the last two groups will present next session. I will present it next session first. So, I have more time to prepare my presentation. I think the group that presented today are all great, some even providing sample music and videos.

Music Practise, Home
This is the video of my practise of C-B minor harmonic scales in contrary direction. I did the G minor harmonic scale badly and some of the B minor harmonic scale so for those which is not good, I repeated it until it is quite fluent. I think it is quite good but still needs practise. Next, I should be more fluent in the major scales that I did before and minor harmonic scales both in same direction and contrary.

Music Theory Class
Today, after taking the absence, we sta in our group for presentation. Then, we did our rehearsal for presentation next week because tomorrow is a holiday. We did our rehearsal and got some feeback from Mr. Herry and friends. Some additional information will be added later by my friend from those feedbacks. He would also try to download "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" song to be turned in the presentation. After the teacher asked each member of our group a question, we ask our friends. Then we were rated: thumbs up or thumbs down. The other groups came next but there is only time for one group to rehearse. So next week, I'll be ready with the new edited powerpoint. We were then shown each site of our blog. Some of my classmates' blog aren't known yet. I'll have to put 2 videos on my blog this week because I did not have time to record last week. We were thought of theoria.com for tutorial in music theory class of chords, etc.
Practical Class (Piano)
Today, I played B major scale (4 octaves with contrary) and C-B minor harmonic scale. I think I played it badly because I haven't practise. Every scale has a mistake and isn't fluent. So, next week I will ahve to repeat the same scale and prepare a song for the classical tune performance for assessment. Mr Herry said that it could be any classical tune including sonata, valse, waltz, nocturne, prelude, etc.

Today, the groups were written on the white board with the topic of each group written. Then, we were asked to sit according to our groups. This is so that we can discuss about the presentation. We were given a big carton to write down the outline of our presentation which we discussed together and agreed on researching. Our outline was then presented in front of the class and then we were to ask two classmates about our outline. Next, we were told to research on the impacts of our music to the society for the presentation. We were also told about two videos that we must upload in our blog of maximum two minutes of us practising our instrument. I plan on recording when I practise my scale.
Instrument Class (Piano)
This instrument class, I played for practise for the afternoon's recognition day event playing F. Chopin's Valse. Mr. Herry said that I played better than last year: with expresion. After that, I was told that the piano that I will be using later will be another different one. So I practise it once more on the other piano to feel touch feel. The others than played scale. For next session, I will prepare my scale that was asked before which is B scale and minor harmonic scales.

Today, as soon as I got in the music room, I put my friend's file from my USB to the school computer. She asked me to help saving it after she found it herself. This is to prepare for today's singing assessment. After that, we took our absences as usual and then the assessment start. When it was my turn, I sang "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson. I think I did it better than the last time I did it. Mr. Herry agreed on this but I still have to improve more on the confidence so that I could make my voice a bit louder. Then, we talked about our upcoming music presentation. We were divided into groups of 4 people each and then picked a topic. Each group talked about different genre of music. Mines was the reggae genre. For next session, I should prepare my presentation by bringing some materials to class so after the session, we discussed together and decide to bring a laptop tomorrow and had some research on reggae genre of music.
Insturment Class (Piano)
In this session, we were told about our task in term 2 which is to make a composition of our own. We were told on the importance of learning the chords now so that we could later express more on what we want better. Then, we each played the scale. I played the scale two octaves in same direction and two octaves contrary then back again. For next session, I must do the same thing for B major because it is not too fluent when I played it and also minor harmonic scales in 2 octaves, same direction.

Today, as soon as we entered the classroom, we were welcomed by the instrumental of "Heal the World". Followed by the checking of resources then the uniform check and also selection of captain and vice. Then, we did a singing warm up together. A group of 5 people are to take turn going outside to practise for their assessment. The assessment start after we all did the warm up. I was given a small booklet of singing performance filling in my song title, composer, background of the song, why I chose the song and my preparation. I left the how I did and what next questions to be filled after the assessment. Unfortunately, there is not much time for all of us to get their turns so I must wait for Monday to have my assessment. This session, I just watched the ones having their assessment. Next, I must still practise for my own singing assessment.

Music Theory Class
Today what we did first was checking the resources, like what we did usually. Then those who did not bring music book are to choose one volunteer to collect money and buy in the basement. Then, we say what song we each choose for our assessment tomorrow. I picked the song "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson. Most of us picked "Heal the World" too. We then rehearse for our singing assessment tomorrow, to be more confident in front of our class. Then, we were told to prepare to fill in a reflection that will be given tomorrow of why we choose that particular song, background of it, etc. We were also told about the group presentation which is our next task. To do this, we are divided into groups for each genre of music to find its impact on society, information etc of at least 10 slides, max 20 slides.
