-Today ask about our assessment which was the music developmental workbook. He told us that for those who havent submit it yet need to submit it by the latest on friday because the teacher are going to finalize all of our homeworks, projects and also assessments. Then, later on we had a rehearsal for the upcoming practical examinations. The violin group got to go first, then it was the guitar group and then next was the piano group. I got the 17th turn over all to perform. However, there wasn't enough time for all of us to perform and i didn't get my time yet to perform. So, this means that i am going to do it next session. I watched my friends performing and I think some of them made a few mistakes but most of them did a very good job.

-Today we review about kodaly signs but this time Mr john and Mr Hary who taught us becasue Mr herry got other works to do again. Then we apply the kodaly signs to another song called "London Bridge is Falling Down" and this time I think that I have improve more on this and i think i become more fluent on using this kodaly signs into music. So, i was pretty happy about this. However, i still got trouble and mix up in f and a because their signs are quite similar. Then we were told to perform in front 2 by 2 people the kodaly signs that were applied to the london bridge song.
-later on, on the music instrument class, Mr herry help us to prepare for our practical exams. So, just like what is going to happen on the exam, mr herry will call us one by one and then he will told us to play a minor harmonic scales and contrary of it. Then we will also need to play our composition and we try to play it without the text.

-Today on music theory class we did some refreshing after the theory assessments. We learned about the Kodly signs all from C to C1. It was pretty hard to learn and this is the first time for me to study them. After we learned the basic skills we try to apply to a song which were perform by instruments groups. The song is called "Lightly Row". My friend who observed me while performing said that i made a few mistakes especially on the note e and f.
-Then while on the instrument class, because on wednesday i have a music recital, mr herry helped me to prepare for it. i played Johann sebastian bach invention 8 and i think i still need to work on the ending. Then after that, the others just played their own composition for the music exam practical.

-Today we had another music theory assessment. The questions are basically the same except that Mr herry add some more questions on major 7th chord and its inversions. So, this time I'm pretty confident on my scores for this assessment. I think even though the questions were pretty simple but I know that i have studied really hard and i have tried my best. After this we had a lottle hearing asssessment from c to c1. It was quite simple actually because i have already learned hearing on my piano lesson.
-While on the instrument class, we played the minor harmonic scales because on the exam practical later on we need to play one of the minor harmonic scale. Today, all of us played the B minor harmonic scales. Im already confident on this scale but if Mr herry told me to play other scales such as f minor, I still have problem on it. So, maybe I need to learn again so, I would be able to play any kind of minor scales on my practical exam.

-Today, we had an assessment on music theory. We thought that the test will only cover the basic theory but instead it also include about the music history which is about the composers, and also some of their compositions. It was really hard because i never thought it coming. However, my teacher help us and guide us a little on the assessment and even give us a little hint on the questions. It was really helpful for me especially abput the dominant 7th which i have no idea. Then, I finished the test second and i ask my teacher to check it immediately and he said that i only made two mistakes which i am so happy and satisfied for. I was really relieved, but I still need to study again for my test on the next meeting which is on thursday.
-While on the instrument class, we practised again for the minor harmonic scale which is on b minor. This time I felt that i have improved than my playing on the last session.

So, we reviewed our homeworks on major 7th chord and I could see the result that i am quite good at it however, I just missed a little and made a little silly mistake that make my score a little bit lower. Then we learned about the basic concepts on major, minor scales and also clefs. I think i have already understand most of it because i have already learned it since i was little however, I just need a little review on it just to refresh my memory about basic theory.
-Then during the instrument class, we had a little hearing quiz that consist of 4 bars. At first, i got 8 bars completely correct but then on the last one i got 2 bars wrong. Then we played minor scales. i played the b minor scales however, i had hard time playing the contrary scales.

-Today, it's the flute and guitar;s trun to perform their practical assessment. For the first 10 minutes, they got the chance to practise on their respective instrument classess. So, then while they were practising, the piano and violin group got the chance to see our video clip of our practical assessment from the previous class. I realize that i made a few mistakes on the left hand after i watched my video clip. I think it is because i was too nervous and i was shaking during my assessment this maybe because i was too nervous because my group got the first turn to go and i was the first one from my group to perform and the assessment weren't even informed by the teacher. It was really a shock. Then after that we just watched our friends while they were performing.

Then Mr herry told the piano group go first and by alphabet, I go first from the piano group. Of course I am very nervous because we weren't informed yet that our assessment will be today but after some discussions the teacher will give us bonus points for those who do their assessments today.

Then the teacher checked them together with us so, we could know what did wrong. After that we have a little fun by guessing few songs.
-While in the instrumen class, we played a little rehearsal. Like usual, we played our own songs in front and we also learned to bow. Then after we played our songs, the teacher and also our friends gave a little feedbacks. My friends said that they liked my melody however they said that my accompaniment need to be more variety.

However, for next time I still need to try to overcome my nervousness. The next one is the flute group but they have a little problem so, the violin group is next. However, we didn't have much time so, we couldn't hear all of the violin member to play. We stop at Chiara which is the last. So, we decided to continue it next week.

-Today we heard other people playing their own songs with their own instrument. From every instrument class, we picked several people to play and perform in front of everyone to represent each instrument class. We picked Victoria with her Sonata song to represent our instrument class. I was chosen at first, but i didn't have the courage to rehearse in front of everyone because i could get nervous easily especially when playing piano in public.
-Today in our piano class, we played and prepared for our individual sonatine/sonata song for next class because next class we are going to have an assessment. I try to memorize my song but I still can't memorize it 100%. So, I think next time by practicing more I could be ready to play my song for the assessment.

-Today we spent our theory class to on presenting the PowerPoint presentation. My group presents the third from 4 groups. At first, we actually have a problem with the example of sound clips because we couldn't insert it to our PowerPoint. However, luckily we brought our song in the CD so, we were allowed to play it from the CD instead from te PowerPoint. It was really smooth, and I think my group presents it pretty well. So, at last our group got an "A" for our presentation which is the highest among the other group. However, I think we need more pictures in our presentation.
-Today in our instrument class, as usual we play our sonatine song. Today I already try to memorize it however, I m kind of nervous to play it without seeing the book even though my book is still in front of me. So, for next time I still need to prepare better.

-Today at our theory class, Mr. Herry taught us more on how to compose a song. Our class also composes a simple song and it showed us how simple it is to compose a song. Then Mr. Herry told us about the elements that we need to compose a simple melody. Such as the beat in every bar, the notes that we can use etc. Then we also sang "Hari Merdeka" to end our theory lesson.
-While today at my piano class, we also did the same thing like last time. We played our individual Sonatine song. My sonatine song is ops 36 no 3 by Clementi. Mr. Herry gave me a feedback that he thinks that actually I could already memorize my song but I just don't want to try it. I think Mr. Herry is right, so next time i need to try to play it without seeing the book.

-Today we submitted our research homework from last week about the classical composer. Then we were divided into groups to make a PowerPoint presentation about "Pop vs. Classical". My group members are Jennie, Karina, Victoria, Viena and Fariz. Then we started to learn on how to compose a simple melody. Our teacher gave us an example of it, and I think it's pretty easy to compose a simple melody.
-While today, at our instrument class we played our individual sonatine song. I think, i need to improve more on playing the tr. in the song and I also need to start to memorize my sonatine song.

-Today in our theory class, we learned about Major scales and also Minor scales. We also contrast the differences between these two types of scales. Then we were given the lyrics of "Hari Merdeka" and sing it and prepare it for the Independence Day ceremony later on.
-While today at our instrument class, we didn't do any scales anymore but we are now focus more on our sonatine song and we try to play it until it finish. For me, because I ever learned this song before I could play it easier and I could learn it faster. I just need to review this song.

-Today we submitted our research homework on pop musician. Then, we were picked randomly to tell a short summary base from our research homework about our pop musician. Then we were given another research homework but this time is about classical composer. Mr. Herry helped us to find a composer name (must be the same with our first letter name) for our next project.
-While today, at our instrument class we started to learn about 7th chord on E major. As usual, we need to write the chord for this scale in our music book. Then we started to pick a sonatine song. I picked the Sonatine from Clementi ops 36 no.3. I think I need to revise the song, because actually I ever play this song but I have forgotten it.
