This is the practice video of me number 6. I was practicing the rondo again since my pracitcal assessment is getting closer. So, that is why i decided not to practice any other things but only the song. At this time, i play it more relax as well as memorize. I was very happy that i am actually able to do this. However i still made several mistakes and so i need to minimize the mistakes so i can get a maximum score. So, for next time i need to practice harder so that i can get a maximum score.

This is my practice video no.5. This is me practicing on the Rondo classical tune. I was practicing this song and i was not playing the scales because i think the song piece is more important since my practical assessment is going to be held soon. So, I decided to just practice this. In this video, i am more relax because i was not trying to memorize the song. I made few silly mistakes only. So, for next time I still need to minimize the mistakes as well as memorizing and relax so i can get a maximum score for my practical assessment.

-Today in the music theory class, we rehearsed individually for our classical tune performance for our practical assessment. From the piano, Mr herry enforced all of us to play in front but for the other instrument class only 1 person were chosen because not all of them are fluent already. So, when it was my turn to play I was quite nervous because now all of my friends are watching me so i did not have the courage to play it with memorizing it and so i played it a little bit rush. So, for next time i need to play more relax.
-While, in the instrument class, we have a warming up first on the major and contrary scales. Then we don't have much time so not all of us can reheasse our song again. Unfortunately i am one of them who can not, so mr.herry just told me the feedback from the reharsal in the theory class and he said i need to improve on the tempo. So for next time i just need to improve on my tempo and make it stable.

-Today in the music theory class, we discussed about the progress of our reflection blog. Then Mr herry open all of our blog and see th videos that we have posted. When my video was played i was so embarassed because i made a lot of mistakes in that video. After that, Mr herry gave us an assignment to make a report based on our powerpoint presentation slide but now it is an individual report which my topic is Jazz Music Genre. After that Mr herry gave us a worksheet on 7th chord. I think I didn't do really well and I still need some guidance. I have never been that good in theory. So, for next time i just need to study harder than before on the theory.
-While on the instrument class, I played my classical tune on the Rondo by Beethoven. I forgot to bring the sheet so I need to memorize it so i take that as a challenge for myself to start memorizing it and I did it quite well. I was so happy that i was able to memorize it completely from the beginning until the end. However, i am still nervous so for next time i need to work on that.

This is my practice video No 4. I was practicing at my home. I was still practicing the Rondo made by Ludwig Van Beethoven. This time I think I am not that fluent because in a bit of rush. So that is why i made several significant mistakes. I was at this time quite nervous because i was trying to memorize the song. I just hope that next time I can play it more relax even though i was just trying to memorize it so i will not make any silly mistakes again.

This is my practice video no 3. I am practicing piano at my house. I was playing the musical piece called the Rondo by Beethoven. I think I am quite fluent when i was playing it because i was plaing it in a moderate tempo. I was very confident with this. However the only thing i was not able to memorize it so for next practice i need to try to memorize it.

-Today in theory class, we had the powerpoint presentation about the different kinds of music Genre. My group was Michelle, Rifky and Coki but Coki was absent so it was only the three of us who present about our music genre, Jazz Genre. We had tried our best to present it and we got 6,5 which i think we deserve it. This maybe because we lack connection to the audiences and we may not prepare quite well. So,for next time we should try to be more confident and also prepare better with the palm cards so that we can have better connection with the audience.
-While in the instrument class, we dont have much time so i only played some portion of the classical piec so everyone can get their turn. I think i made few mistakes and so i need to work on that. I also need to start trying to memorize it for the recital.

Today is independence day and so that means we got no Music class

This is the video of me practicing on sunday. I am at my house and i try to practice the contrary motion of C-B major scales again since the last time i practiced it was still not really that good. So, i decided to practice it again and this time i think i am more fluent and also i have cut my nails so that it is not disturbing me anymore while i am practicing. I am more satisfied at this time. Then, after that i also practice the modus and this time, i practiced it with 2 octaves and i think even though i made few mistakes at the beginning, I am much better than the last practice in my previous video. So, for next time I need to practice harder to make it more fluent.

This is the video of me practicing piano at my house. At first i started playing the contrary motion of C-B major scales with two octaves because i still think that i need more practice and therefore i tried to practice again but it is still no fluent yet so i still think that i need to practice it again next time. Then,next i practiced the new assignment which is the modus and i only played 1 octave because it is still very new to me. I also think that i need to cut my nails because that disturbed me when i was playing the piano.

-Today in the theory class, we learned about the major scales of C, G, D, E and A major. Then we also learned about the major chords. I think I am still able to remember this theory which i have learned in last year music class. Then we also learned on how to differentiate between the major and minor chords. We were told to write in our music books the major scales and how to put the key signature. We also wrote the major chords however, we dont have enough time so Mr.Herry told us to continue it at home. I also helped some of my friends with this theory and it feels good to be able to help them. So, for next time i need to finish the major chords.
-While in the instrument class, I played the contrary motion first of C-B major because i didnt get to play it last time. I think I am not fluent with it yet so i need more practice on this. Mr. Herry also told us to learned the new one called the modus with only two octave first he said. So, for next time i need to learned the contrary better, the modus and i also need to startplaying and bring the classical piece which i will play in the music recital.

-Today in the theory class, we sat according to our group based for the powerpoint slide. We gathered and then we discussed on what are we going to do and present to our class. Then we list down the subtopic for our main topic which is Jazz and then we got to present it to our class. To make it interesting, we also asked questions to the audience on whether they were listening to us or not. My group at that time, where Rifky and coky were absent asked question to 2 students. This things goes the same to the other groups. I were asked a question by the pop music group and luckily i was able to answer the question correctly. For next time, i need to start working on my powerpoint presentation with my group.
-Today, I could not join the instrument class because i need to go to the 8th floor for the GPA recognition rehearsal so me and jennie went to the 8th floor straight away after I finished the theory class. So, I asked my friend, Imez on what did i missed, and she said that they were just practicing the contrary motion of C-B major so then i also practice it at home.

-Today, we were divided into 5 groups in which 3 groups will have only 3 members and 2 groups will have 4 members. My group consist of 4 members which are Michelle, Coki and Rifky. Then we have a draw in order to decide which music genre will be our topic. I won on the second trial and then my group chose jazz for our group topic. We were given 2 weeks to do make and prepare our powerpoint presentation. After that we continue on the singing assessments. So, for next session i need to prepare a draft for my group powerpoint slide presentation.
-Today in the instrument class, we don't have much time and therefore i dont get the chance to practice and so i just listen to my friends who got the chance to play. However, for next session i still need to practice on the contrary motion of C-B major.

-Today, we have the first singing assessment. I sang "Heal the World" song for my choice. I got the turn to sing it today, while some of my friends will sing on Friday because we don't have enough time and therefore we also don't have any instrument classes. I was very nervous when singing this song in front of my friends and so i became very stiff and couldn't be expressive. However, I am proud that i was able to memorize all the song lyrics because then i can have a maximum score even though it turns out that i get 8 out of 10. For me, that is still very satisfying. So, for the next singing assessment i want to try to be more confident so that i wouldn't be very stiff and more expressive.
