Music Theory Class
Today, we discussed the homework that we did which is the 8 bar chords. Some of our work was shown and asked to write in the board but some didn't because there is not enough time. I think my work was okay but needs improvements. Next, I should put melody in the chords and edit the chords that I don't like. Last, I learned about passing notes which can help me make my melody.

Piano class
In piano class today, I practised for Saturday's competition then, we listened for guitar practise for competition. Then, we were told about tips for chords later in our composiiton. We then played those chords in the piano. I think these chords will be useful for later in making the composition. Next, I should practise these left hand broken chords.

Music Theory Class
Today, we learn chords to prepare for our composition. We learn to differentiate major, major 7th, minor, minor 7th, dom 7th and diminished chords. Then we were asked to write 8 bar chords. I was asked to fill the melody of 4 bars played by guitar chords. I think I understood more about the chords and how to differentiate them now. Next, I should do the homework of 8 bar chords for tomorrow.

Music Theory Class
Today the first thing that my group did was change our clothes since we are the first group to perform. We perform one group at a time. I think my gropu was okay but need to improve in the pitch and movement. But overall, it was alright. Then, I watched the 3rd and 4th group, after changing back into uniform. After that, we all watched all the groups from 1st to 4th. I think they were all great in their performance. Next, I should continue to update my blog and continue practising chords.

Music Theory Class
Today, we were asked whether we prefer the singing assessment today or tomorrow. The class chose tomorrow. So, this two sessions, we basically prepare for tomorrow per group, then rehearse. We decide who will go first, second, third and fourth. My group was first to perform. Then, after the rehearsal, we each picked a room to rehearse per group. With these activities, we do not have our practical session. I think my group needs more practise but was already quite ready overall. Next, I should be ready for the assessment with the costumes together with my group.

This is a video of me playing major 7th chords 1-3-5-7 and 1-3-5-Bb from C to B. I think it is already quite fluent. Next, I should practise the same chords from B to C.
