Today, I practiced the whole part of playing "Fly Me to the Moon". I think it is getting better and now the arrangement is having more variation. Next, I should practice as a group in school but also practice this again before the assessment.
Tuesday, 17 May 2011
I played the chords with syncopation for the third part of the song after intro, melody. I think it is getting better and more fluent although I would still need more practice. Next, I should try combine all the intro, holding of chords, syncopating then back to holding the chords
Thursday, 12 May 2011
In this video, I practices especially in the syncopation part to improve and make it fluent. I tried to find which notes to press keeping in mind what Mr Herry said, left is the 1 and 5th note of the chord and the right the others. I think I still need more practice so next I should practice the same thing to improve on it.
Tuesday, 10 May 2011
This video is when I played like what Mr Herry give feedback to me. The first part, I played the melody then the chords like I practiced before. Then I use syncopation and last back to holding chords. I think I must improve and practice more in the syncopation part as I am not used to playing that and made some mistakes here.
Thursday, 5 May 2011
After playing and practicing the same chords and way, I think it is getting better however I should ask for what I should improve especially that I think it is plain so next I should ask for feedback on how to improve and make more variation to the music I play.

I practiced my jazz group performance "Fly Me to the Moon" for already more than 2 months already now. I think it is getting more fluent and good with the pedal. Next, I should keep practicing and be ready for our group performance assessment anytime.
Thursday, 28 April 2011
I practiced the same of using pedal and try different chord progression for the chords to the song. I think it is getting more fluent and is more relaxed when playing. Next, I should keep practicing and ask for feedback of my play in school on whether it suits my group.
Tuesday, 26 April 2011
In this video, I tried using the pedal. I think this sounds better, especially when I do not have the string effect to support me when I am practicing. Next, I should try different chord progression in this song using the pedal.
Thursday, 21 April 2011
This video, I tried the same thing as before which is playing the usual play for the first part of the song before the repeat and then another after the repeat. I think I should change from one chord progression to the other, being flexible to suit the melody. Next, I should try using pedal since I dont have the string effect in piano, using pedal should help me give the effect.
Tuesday, 19 April 2011
In this video, I tried to hear the difference when I play the chord in different chord progression. For the first time before the repeat sign, I tried playing with the same progression as before then the second time in a different one. I have not yet decided on whether which one was better so next time I should try this again.
Thursday, 14 April 2011
In this video, I practiced and tried in a faster tempo. I think this sounds more fluent but I should try the D-G-Bb chord next time and hear the difference. Next, I should keep the tempo but try and hear for sound quality.
Tuesday, 12 April 2011
Today I practiced for my jazz performance. I hold the chords since I will be playing as strings holding the chords of each bar. I think I would need to practice more and should change when I hold the Gm chord into D-G-Bb instead of G-Bb-D. Next, I should keep practicing this with that way.

Today, we were given a sheet to note down the scores of term 3. i think my scores were alright. But for term 4, I have to improve on the reflection on my blog especially the video upload. Then the first group "Summer Time" rehearse for their jazz performance. I think they were quite good. Next group was "I Got Rhythm". I think they were okay but need more practice. For my group, we need to improve on the ending. Next, I should remember about the video for the blog and keep practicing my part for the jazz performance. Also, our group had scheduled to practice together other than in the sessions we had together with Mr. Harry.

We did our singing assessment first with other groups going first. My group did not redo our singing assessment. Next, we submit our hardcopy of the jingle, I submitted mines. Then, we filled in a booklet of our reflection of our final jingle.

Next, I should be ready with our jazz performance.
Practical Class
Today, my group practiced in the piano room. I think our group was better now especially in the piano parts. Cooperation is also improved. Next I should keep practicing my part especially when I play the part where there is syncopation.

Today, as soon as we went in to the class, we were shown videos of our jazz performance rehearsal last time. I think from the videos although our arrangement may not be best of the groups. I think we did improvement in cooperation. Then we were shown some videos from the previous grade 10 including the ceremony of journey to DP of the previous' year and then watch our singing assessment of jazz song last term. Then we hear each of our jingle again together so Mr Herry can give us feedback. Mr Herry said that my jingle is already good and suits my advertisement for preschool. Next, I should prepare my hardcopy and softcopy of my jingle.
Piano Class
Today, we practiced for our group jazz performance. Viena and I went to Mr Herry to ask how to improve and more variation for our play. I was given feedback and guide to first play melody then chords then use syncopation before the solo then back to chords after the solo. I think this is better but I would need to practice more. Next, I shoud try this at home.

Today we were told that about the importance of submitting our jingle draft. Then we were told things about music as inspiration. We were also shown videos of people's performance of different stage performance attitude and actions in order to attract their audience. It includes performance from Guilian, a thirteen year old playing Concerto 1, a sever year old playing flue and music videos of Michale Buble "Everything" and "Haven't Met You Yet". Then we hear one of our classmates jingle draft and give feedback for her. I think it was good and since she is adverising about preschool, I think it suits the advertisement with major sound heard. After lunch, we rehearse with our group for our jazz performance. Next, we rehearse the whole performance. The first group was "I Got Rhythm" group. Mr Herry give feedback for them to make the intro played together, make it faster and collaborate with the vocal. I think they need more practice especially making it sound together. The next group was "Summer Time", I think they need more practice although the way they played, the melody and accompaniment, or the arrangement for the song is very well. Mr Herry give feedback of improving in volume of piano, tempo and stage performance. Next group was our group. I think my group was better this time especially the accompaniment for the solo however, we should improve on the intro, pitch and making the beat. Next, I should prepare for the jazz performance and the final jingle.

Today, we checked first on who had submitted for our hardcopy and softcopy of our jingle. I have submitted both hardcopy and softcopy. Then, we gave feedback for one of our classmates' work since we haven't commented on his' earlier. We discussed on the impact of major and minor scales towards the emotion created according to our scenario of advertisement. Overall, we were given feedback from Mr. Herry to make our jingle with simple melody but an appropriate one and with instruments that we are familiar with rather than making a complicated one but does not sound good. We were then asked when our final jingle will be submitted. which was written to be 2nd week of May. We were told to submit our jingle next week Tuesday, rehearse our jazz performance next Tuesday and the redo of singing assessment next Thursday. Then, we watched two of our classmates do their first singing assessment. I think they were good but they have to improve on being louder. Next, I should prepare for the final 16 bar jingle and jazz performance.
Practical Class
Today we practiced "Fly Me to the Moon" for our jazz performance. I think we should still work on playing as a group and cooperation. Next, I should keep practicing my part which will be holding the chords.

Today, we had our singing assessment. We warm up together first as a whole class. Then, my group was assessed first. I think the pitch was good although we have to memorize the lyrics to improve our performance. Our group was given feedback from random classmates chosen. When others perform, we were chosen randomly to give our feedback to them. I think they were all good in their singing assessment but we were given a second chance to redo our singing assessment to improve it two week after. Next, I should keep practicing for the jazz performance and the singing assessment memorizing the lyrics.

Today, my class came late after our PE session, doing gokart. As soon as we came, we noe the song and group for our singing assessment. My group has four members singing "Nothing At All". We were asked to do our rehearsal however the groups had not practiced yet. So, we listened to our classmate's work on their jingle and wrote our feedback to them in a booklet given to us. I think the jingle my classmates made was overall very good and entertaining. Then we practiced for our jazz performance. Next, I should prepare for my singing assessment for next class but before dismissing, we changed our song from "Nothing At All' into "Let It Be" by the Beatles.
