Today in music class I did the music theory test that's about major minor scales as well as their triads and inversions. I've studied and understand the topic by practicing it in my piano, so I know what notes to be turned into "sharp" or "flat" in order to keep up with the 1-1-half-1-1-1-half scheme. In the last section of the test, there are also some questions about the history of classical & popular music, which is also a topic that we have studied. I haven't studied much on this matter though so I found some questions to be hard and unfamiliar. But in overall I did very well and I will study more about the classical & popular music. Before splitting into instrument class, Mr.Herry explained to us about the Finale software which we're gonna use to transcript our own composition.

In instrument class I did the major chords of different scales as well as their inversion. I did it very well because I've practiced although certain chords (like B chord) is very hard when doing the inversion. Mr.Herry also introduced me to the "big triad" which I did it on the C chord. I will practice it more on the piano as well as update my blog and upload the video.
