In this video, I played jazz modes with right hand playing the chords. I think the technique of playing is same with playing the chords with the left so it was quite good. Next, I should keep practising these two ways of playing the modes. I should also check the video that Mr. Herry will upload for the next task. This task was already discussed in class but I still do not know how to play it really well.

In this video, I played the jazz modes with left hand playing the chords. I played from one direction then back again. I think I played this quite fluently and was better at this video rather than in class. Next, I should try doing the opposite thing which was playing the chords in the right hand.

Music Theory Class
Today, we were first given a worksheet to read about jazz music. Then, we discuss on the sheet about syncopation, improvisation, types of jazz music, etc. We discussed for a long time and then we have split session. After lunch, we came back to hear some of the guitar group, violin group and piano group playing jazz modes. I think I get a lots of new knowledge from the sheet that was given. I also get to hear jazz modes in other insturments. I think they are all good although the violin group should improve on the pitch. Next, I should keep finding out more about jazz to prepare on my essay.
Piano Class
Today, we were told that we should upload video in our music blog starting this week. Then, wel earned a new thing which is simple chord progression. I think this is difficult to play, especially the right hand and the movement from one chord to another. Next, I should practise this at home and upload the video.

Music Theory Class
Today I was released late from the session before so my class came late. I was given a paper to read about jazz music then we did a quiz about the paper given. In that worksheet, there are many questions but we were only asked to do the first 16 questions. Our papers are then collected before the answers were discussed. Then, we were given the assessment schedules for the term. After discussing the schedule, we copied Jazz Modes to our music book. Since I haven't bought a new book for this term, I asked for a piece of paper from my friend. I was asked to play what I learned last week in my first piano practical session. Then, another of my friend showed the same thing, also in the other way from Locrian to Ionian. Mr. Herry showed us those modes played in violin and guitar. I think this is quite easy to play in piano. Next, I should practise this modes.
Piano Class
Today, in this practical class, those who haven't played in theory class played. I think they were better in playing the modes now than the class before. Now we play the right hand playing the chords and left with the scale. I think the difficulty level is the same with playing chord in left. Next, I should keep practising this both when left hand play chord and the one with right hand playing chord.

Music Theory Class
Today, we had a bit problem with the arrangement in schedules. Grade 3 was waiting outside the room while we were inside. It was solved when Mr. Herry said that it was our time. So, we started our first music session of Semester 2. The first thing that we did was looking at our scores of Semester 1 for each criteria. I think I must improve on the last two criteria in which one of them was my personal engagement. After our lunch break, we continued with the class since it was split session. This session, we were told a bit on the history of jazz music. We were also told about our assignment which is a 200 word essay about jazz music. An example of a topic for the essay is 'Music is a universal language'. But before making this essay, we should read more about music like the history of jazz music, types of jazz, etc that will help in making the essay. I think this task will be useful in increasing my knowledge of music.
Piano Class
In piano class, we were told that piano will be a dominant part when playing jazz music in a gorup. So, we were taught about chords. This practical class, we played dominant 7th chord in left hand and scale in our right. I think I did this quiet well and is already fluent in playing it. Next, I should learn more about playing jazz music in piano and keep practising what I played today.
