Today in music class we are introduced to a new music clef that is the C clef or Alto clef which is used for alto sax. Mr.Herry wrote the notes and showed us their position in the bar and lines. I copied it into my music book so I won't forget about it. Then we are asked to transcript a particular song that Mr.Herry had wrote in the board from G clef into C clef. I did it very well and very fast because I think it's simple and easy. Some of my friends were asked to go to the front and write their transcription as I watched them. After that Mr.Herry showed us our friend's Finale composition and he played it. It was by Ardito and it was pretty good. Since most of us are using the Finale 2010 software, Mr.Herry can't open it. He then introduced us to a technique to convert our file into a MIDI file so he can just play it. We all are asked to save our Finale 2010 document as a MIDI file and send it to Mr.Herry. I will do that.

In instrument class I practiced my song again, but this time Mr.Herry told that my left hand variation is a but too monotonous, so he introduced me to a more varied ways of playing my left hand. It was pretty complicated at first because I had to switch styles but I think I can get used to it. I practiced really well. I will practice my song with the new left hand variation at home and upload the video.
