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.
