Music Theory Class
Today, we were given back our essay report to see our scores then give back to Mr. Herry for our portfolio. Then, we submit our finale draft. I submitted both my softcopy and hardcopy of my jingle. However, I think my jingle suits more to an ice cream advertisemnt rather than fast food. Then, we wer told that we will have a singing assessment next week. This assessment can be a duet or as a group. We then practised for our jazz group performance then rehearse. We got back feedback from our classmates after the rehearsal. Those feedback include improving on the intro, volume of instruments, beat and teamwork. I think my group still needs practise as a whole group. Then, we take turns giving feedback to other groups. I think they were overall good although some needs more teamwork in it. Next, I should be ready with the song for the duet or group singing.

Today, we do not have our music class because of our business selling asesssment that we have to do. Our business task was from 12 o clock onwards so we had to skip both sessions. I think we should work harder in practising as we skipped this class for business. Next, we should keep practising and prepare my jingle draft.

Music Theory Class
Toda, my class was on time. We subit out essa about role of music to society. Ten, we deicde on a topic for our music jingle task draft for Thursday. Then, we were asked to practise as a group for our jazz performance. I think I would need to practise more especialy as a group. Next, I should be ready with my finale draft and also for our performance.
Practical Class
We went to our different groups to practise our jazz performance. We were supposed to go back after five minutes of practising however we forgot the time when practising. I think my group still need to work on playing it together. Next, we should have the rehearsal before the real assessment and I would need to have more practise.

This video is after I get feedback from Mr Herry about the chords that I play. I decide to hold the chords and Viena the beat. So I practise each chords. I think I still need to practise because I am still confused with some of the chords. Next, I should keep practising and be ready with my group.

This is a video of when I practise the chords for fly me to the moon. I try to find the variation and beat. I wrote those down in a piece of paper based on what I see and hear in Mr. Harry's video that was taken before. I think it is better than before because now I know how to play it although some of the beats aren't correct. Next, I should ask feedback from Mr Harry about this since he is absent in today's class.

Music Theory Class

Today, my class was dismissed late from the previous session so we all came late. Then, an example sheet was given out taken from the work of last year's music class. I think he created a great jingle music. This can help me in making my own and as an example for its structure in finale. Next, we discuss how it can connect to our business in business class. We were then asked to make the draft of the first four bars of our jingle before going to our lunch. I think that this task was rather difficult especially that I never made a song for different instruments playing together. Next, I should try put this bars in finale just to hear how it sounds.

Instrument Class

Today in instrument class, we had the first 10 minutes in the division based on our instrument class so I had my piano class. This is to show Mr. Herry what we had done so far and how we will play in our assessment. Viena and I played the chords that had been arranged. We were then given feedback to play the chords by Viena playing the beat and me holding each chords. Some of the chords had also been changed. I think this will sound better and is easier for me to play. Next, I should keep practising this.

Music Theory Class

Today my class came late because of our previous session. I was told to make background of the survey (objective), progress (tell what you do), facts (evidence of survey) and combine it into one - 5 paged essay of "Role of Music in the society", not forgetting about the conclusion from the given survey. Then, we were told about what jingle music is which is a short commercial music. Next, we were shown a sample video on this type of music. I think it is quite interesting how coca cola use this type of music in their advertisement. Our class was then shown on the previous class's work on jingle music. Our task this term will make a 16 bar jingle music. I think the last class' work is great and fits what they advertise. The due date for this task is on May. Next, I should prepare with my survey and essay.

Instrument Class

This instrument class, I tried playing the chords that I had practised and noted made from my term break taken from the recording of Mr. Harry play. I think it sounds better now even though I would need to change some bits. Next, I should ask Mr. Harry's comment on it and ask feedback to improve it since he is absent today.
