Music Theory Class
Today, we discussed about the 12 bar blues homework that was given. Then, our compositions were collected. I think I need to improve on my composition because Mr. Herry said that I already did a mistake on the first bar. Next, we continued our singing assessment that wasn't done the last session. I did mines, I think I need to improve on the projection of voice. Then, I continued filling in the paper with how i did my assessment and what to improve in. Next, I should continue practising what I had learn in practical class about blues and revise what was thought in theory class.

Music Theory Class
Today, we start with warm up exercises to sing before our singing assessment. This was after we all had our minus ones in the school computer or prepared for our singing assessment. Then, we started our singing assessments according to alphabetical order. I did not get any chance to go this time. But I have filled in a paper on the background of the song, why I chose the song and my preparation. I think the ones who did the assessments were great in doing theirs. Next, I should prepare my 12 bar blues composition and my singing assessment.

After playing the blues chords, I practise blues scales. This scale really helps in creating the right hand for the chords earlier. I think I played this scale well. Next, I should figure out melody for the blues chords for my composition based on my practise.

This is a video of when I practise the blues chords for my 12 bar blues composition. It helps me when I am creating the melody. I think playing this is easier than the chord progression but I still need to practise because I am still a bit confused when moving from one chord to another. Next, I should practise the blues scale.

Music Theory Class
Today, I was given a sheet about "The Definition of Jazz". This paper was actually given when I was doing the ISA test. Then, we were taught about Blues scale to prepare for our next task which is a 12 bar blues composition. We wrote which chords to use in our music notebooks and its legends. Then, we were given examples of how to fill it in. I think this task is a challenge for me because I am not used to blues. Next, we should fill in our own melody.
Piano Class
In piano class, we played the chords. I think the chords are a bit confusing so I need a lot of practise. Next, I can hear this chords to refer when making the melody. Before being dismissed, I also played the Blues scales that can be filled as melody for my 12 bar blues composition.

Music Theory Class
Today, we did our solo singing assessment of "I Got Rhythm". This class all 10 Ds went to class late because the session before is PE and we went to drive golf. The first thing I did was fill in my reflection of the two essays I made. Then, I submit both reflection and the essay. Then, we preapre for our singing assessment by singing as the whold class. Before my turn, I filled in my preparation then when it is my turn, I sang "I Got Rhythm" then filled in how I did and what next. I think I need to improve on being louder. Next, I should make up my mind on what to sing for the free jazz song assessment.

This is my second practise of the chord progression. I think I did quite well for the first 3 chords but need practise for the rest. Next, I should practise moving from one chord to the other since it is still a problem for me in moving fluently.
Tuesday, 25 January 2011
This is a video of me practising the chord progression. I think I still need to improve when changing from one chord to the other. I should refer to the notes I had taken in practical class. Next, I should keep practising this as it is not yet fluent.

Music Class
Today, I did not attend music class because I had to do ISA so I was excused from this class together with some of my friends. Because of this, I had to ask what tasks they did in class and what tasks are there for me to do. I was told that my classmates sang "I Got Rhythm" two by two in class and that I should make an essay about "Jazz and its role in society" for the 8th of February. This essay is 1000 words long, 12 comic sans font and with 1 or 2 line spacing. I think the activity my friends did was useful to prepare for the singing assessment. Next, I should be ready with my essay.

Music Theory Class
This class, we were given a sheet about music history including migration to read and discuss together. Then, after the discussion, we were given "I Got Rhythm" sheet for the singing assessment. I think this song's rhythm is difficult to sing. This may be because I am not yet familiar with this song. Next, I should read the sheet with the history content for more knowledge about our topoic. I should also be more familiar with "I Got Rhythm". I had submitted my essay homework today.

Piano Class
In piano class, we wrote down the chord progression notes in our notebook. If last time we only wrote down the letters of the chords (eg. Dm7, G7, etc) now we wrote each notes in our music book. Then, we played it in the piano. I think I still need more practise because it still is not fluent. Next, I should update my blog.

Music Theory Class
Today, we werer told about our singing assessment which is to sing a jazz song. Then we were given a task due next week which is a 200-400 words essay. My topic was "What are the most common differences between a jazz musician and classical musician". THe ones who have the same topic with me discuss together some differences and then we presentate what we have discussed. i think the task can be finished for next session which is 2 days after today. Then, we revise the jazz modes and the names. Some of the people who haven't played the jazz modes from flute, guitar and violin group played after that. I think that most are good although some needs more practise. Next, I should be ready for the essay.
Piano Class
Today, I wrote down the chords that we play last session because I don't know how to play it when I try it at home. So, I wrote these down first: 1. dm7-G7-C, 2. Cm7-F7-Bb, 3. Bbm7-Eb7-Ab, 4. Abm7-Db7-Gb, 5. F#m7-B7-E, 6. #m7-A7-D. I think I need more practise. Next, I should upload this in my blog and try what I've wrote at home.
