-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.

-Today in our music theory class, our teacher, Mr.Herry taught us about bass clef and also treble clef. He taught us slowly because some of my friends weren't familiar yet with this theory. I think I could understand this theory very well. We were told to write it in our music book. Then Mr Herry also told us to do a research homework on pop musician (the name must be the same with our first letter name). I picked Amy Grant.
-While in my instrument class, we review about on C major 7th chord. Then we move on to D major 7th chord. I also think that I've done a good job on this exercises. We were also told to write the chord and the scales of D major in our music book. I think i've done my jobs pretty well for overall.

-While in my instrument class (piano), i played C-B major scales and also hanon no. 8 to catch up with my friends because i were absent. Then we learned to play the 7th chord in C major and I think that i could catch up with m friends quite fast and i also played the 7th chord quite well.
