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.

This is when I practise the chord progression. I forgot the last 3 chords in the 2 previous practise. This time, I use the book. I think using the book made me play a bit better. Next, I should try not using the book but play it fluently.

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.
