Today in music class we all did the rehearsal for our classical repertoire. Each and every one of us in the class perform our classical music with our own instrument in front of the class. When my turn come I go to the front and play my classical song Canon in D Major on the piano. I did it very well and very good and also very confident. But there's a bit of improvisation to the note that I shouldn't do, so my playing is not perfect yet. I will practice at home to play it according to the music sheet so when the assessment day comes, I'll be perfectly ready.

In instrument class I practiced the song again. But I got the turn to play it with the tutorial of Mr.Herry, who guides me with the notes so I won't do anymore improvisation. I did listen to him very carefully and do as he said. I will practice my song more and more to be excellent.

Today in music class I finished my final composition of popular song titled "Symphony Of Antashari Azhar" and also made the lyrics. I did it very fast and very well although I did some major changes. I will practice that song and update my blog.

In instrument class I practiced my classical song again that is Canon in D Major. I did it quite well but there's a bit of mistake because I play classical song as if they're a popular song, because I did some variation that is actually not allowed. I will practice that song again and again.

Today in music theory class I learned how to make a blog by watching Kartika do it. I watched carefully so I understand how to do it. Then Mr.Herry played my composition so I can review it. I listen it very well. I will copy and make the final draft on my composition with the lyrics.

In instrument class I've chosen the classical song to play that is Canon in D Major. I chose it because it's very familiar with me. I will practice that song.

Today in music class I learned more about composing a 32 bar popular song using the A A' B A' form and after that I also finished my own composition. I did it very well in the composition by using my inner creativity. Next time I will practice my song so I can perform it well.

In instrument class I played my classical song called Canon in D Major by J.Pachelbel. I played it well but a bit forget in some parts because I didn't read the notes/text. Next time I will practice my playing to make it more perfect.

10th February 2010

Today in music class I didn't submit my music booklet because I haven't print it, so I will submit it tomorrow. I also learn how to compose a popular song 8 bars with the A A' B A' form. I did the composition very well because reading and writing notes in their correct position is familiar to me. I will completely finish the music booklet by printing and submit it tomorrow.

In instrument class I play minor and major chords and continue composing my song. I did it very well. I will practice my song.

2nd February 2010

Today in music class I did the assessment that is duet singing of popular music with Reinhart. The song is the song we've been practicing all this time titled "Blowin' In The Wind" by Bob Dylan. I've been practicing at home so I did it in a confident way that I tried to sing the best as i could. Although i tried it very well, there's a bit of mistake in my tone when i sing together with Reinhart (the duet part). I will practice more singing to make my tone suiting and better.

In instrument class i reviewed the major & minor scales i've been given to study, such as C,G,D,A,E,B,F. After that i was asked to play minor/major chords with two hands on the piano. I did it quite well because i've been practicing. Next time i will practice more and more everyday to make my piano playing smoother and better.

Today in music theory class I did a powerpoint presentation of classical vs popular music . I did it with my group Arfa, Haroun, and Dito. We made a very good preparation so we're not nervous or scared during the presentation. I did it in a confident way although not so serious because i take some parts of the presentation so lightly. Next time i will concentrate more and be serious every time there's a presentation

In instrument class i learned major chords and scale and have to do it with both my hands. I did it very well although there's a slight mistake in certain parts. I will practice more on these scales on piano.

22nd January 2010

Today in music theory class i sang the popular song called "Blowin' In The Wind" by Bob Dylan with my presentation group. I also did the mind-mapping for my group presentation with Haroun, Arfa, and Dito. After that i present my mind map to the class. I did very well in the singing and also the mind-mapping, because i put all of my effort to it. Next time i will research again about classical and popular music.

In instrument class Mr.Herry told me to play different major & minor scales using my both hands, so i did it. I did it very well because i know the basics and i can play piano. Next time i will further advance my skills and practice more to make the scale more perfect.

20th January 2010

Today in music class i learned about different kinds of major scales and also learn to sing the popular song titled "Over The Rainbow". I studied major scales pretty good because i am able to easily grasp the concept, but i'm not really good when singing Over The Rainbow. I will learn more to sing and also going to divide jobs for my group presentation of classical versus popular music.

15th January 2010

Today in music class I listen to Mr.Herry explaining about the things i need to know in music class. He explained about assessment criteria and the essential resources & agreement i need to have in being a music student. I listened to him very carefully and write notes about it. After that i was divided into my musical instrument groups, and i chose piano. I will do my classical and popular music research and also practice piano.
