Music Theory Class
Today, we sat per instrument group to do the theory assessment on major scales, chords and their inversions. It consist of 4 pages including the cover page and the reflection page. I think I did quite well although I was confused with some questions inside, like the Bb major and the blanks under the inversion. I manage to figure these out later when Mr. Herry explained it. Next, I should be ready with my group singing assessment on Monday, 4 October 2010.
Piano Class
Today, I played major 7th chords and their inversion in both one way and contrary from C-B. I looked at my friend's book for the fingerings. With guidance from this, I think I did better now with the fingerings. Next, I should still practise more so that it is more fluent and fits the fingering without looking.

Music Theory Class
In today's class, we were told that the theory assessment is postponed to tomorrow while the singing assessment to next week. The postpone of theory assessment is to suit the other class which will have it tomorrow too. THen, we sat with our singing group to practise together. After that, we were shown 3 videos of other international singers with great talents for inspiration. We then rehearse per group with what we have prepared so far. I think my group still needs practise and movement. Next, I should focus in learning for the theory assessment tomorrow.
Piano Class
Today, I played major 7th chord from C-E and their inversions then back again. I think my fingerings are bad and that it is not fluent. We were then told told about the fingerings. Next, I have to continue them from C-B with its proper fingerings. The proper fingerings are: root: RH 1235, LH 5421, 1st invertion: RH 1245, LH 5321, 2nd inversion: RH 1235 LH 5321 and 3rd inversion: RH 1245, LH 5421.

Music Theory Class
Today, our uniform was checked. My tie was too loose so I was asked to tighten it. Then, we talked about our personal engagement criterion that will affect our final score. So we were encouraged to be more discipline in doing our blogs. We then studied chords and did a mock test about this. I did one mistake, forgetting to put natural sign in one of the chords. Next, I think the mock test was quite easy but I need to learn more for Monday's theory test. Next, I should prepare for this theory test and be careful when doing this to avoid careless mistakes.
Piano Class
This piano class was short so we only played C-B major 7th chord and dom 7th chord no B-C chords. I think I played quite well rather than playing B-C chords yesterday. Next, I should keep practising these chords both from C-B and B-C.

Today, our scores for developmental workbook was told. I was told that I got 8/8. I think I did well in reflecting because now I know my strength and weakness through reflecting. So, I was satisfied with this score. Then, we disucssed the programme for term 2 which is group singing next week, theory, composition, developmental workbook and finally practical. The nearest activity is group singing so we divide the class into groups of 6. After knowing our group members, we were given homework of major 7th and dom 7th. I did it quickly so I won't have any homework but I did a mistake in B major 7th and dom 7th because I forgot the sharp in A for B major. I should improve my chords and prepare singing by group by taking note of the members. Next, the chord homework will be due but I have done it. I think this lesson is useful especially for the chords for composition.
Piano class
In piano class, we played those chords that we wrote for homework which is major 7th chord and dom 7th from C to B then from B to C. I think I need more practise in playing this chords because I still make mistakes when playing chords backwards which is from B to C. Next, I should practise these chords and also start with my blog so the updates aren't late.

Music Theory Class
Today, at first we were shown video clips of our friends from other class in their solo classical assessment. Different people from different instrument classes were shown. I think they did well in their performances. Then, those that did not get their turn playing yesterday played today for their assessment. After they performed, we were told about our scores for the assessment and feedback from the teacher. I was told that I got 9.5. I could not get perfect score for this because I did some mistakes at the back but fortunately was able to continue the song instead of stopping. I was quite satisfied with this score but I should still practise more to get better next time. After that, we were asked to fill in the music developmental workbook that was due that day. I filled in mines but need more time so I used some of my recess time to complete the workbook then submit that day. I think it was quite good and completely filled. Next, I should finish my last update in the blog for this term, which is today and also complete the video uploading.

This video is when I am practising certain parts from the first part of my song. I think the left hand part was difficult so I played that first than after it was quite fluent, I continued with both hands. I think with more practise I could make it more fluent. The end part of the video was better than the first so I think it could be more fluent. Next, I should practise the difficult part from the slow part of the song.

This video is the second part of the song. I played it once as a rehearsal for the assessment. I think that I still has many parts here that is wrong, especially when the story tells that the dwarfs are tumbling down the stairs. The notes in that part are quite complicated. Next I should practise on the certain parts that I think is difficult.

This video is when I practise for my practical assessment. This part is only the first part of my song. This is due to the maximum number of minutes per video which is 2 minutes. It is not enough for me to record the whole song. I think I played it with some mistakes but in total, it is okay. I should practise more in the fast part where the left hand must go to a high note then down then high then down and so on.

Today, we did the practical assessment. I was the 4th who presented. At first we were given a paper to fill in about background of our song, why I chose the song, what preparations, how I did it and what next. I filled in the first three questions: background of the song, why I chose the song and what preparations before playing. Then, after playing, I filled in the last 2 questions which is how I did it and what next. I think I did it quite well but did some mistakes at the end. I should have practised even more so that it is more fluent and also practise for confidence. Next I should photocopy the music sheet of my song and complete my reflection. We were also told about the music developmental workbook which was to be given and filled tomorrow.

Today we continued the rehearsal that wasnt finished yesterday which is the one who hasn't had their turn yesterday. I had my turn yesterday so I did not play in this theory class. I think the ones who played are all nice although some needs more practise. I need practise too. Next, I should prepare my 20 page booklet about reggae music to be submitted in class next session which is the 6th September on Monday.
Piano Class
I played my song to rehearse for my assessment today but I still needs more practise. Mr Herry said it was better than yesterday. There is still parts where it is not yet fluent. Next, I should be prepared for the assessment which is also on the 6th, together with the submission of reggae music booklet that I am going to make. The woodwind group played and rehearse after the piano group.
