This is my second practice video in this semester 2. I was practicing at home still on the reverse mode for the jazz mode. This time i feel very satisfied and happy because i can do it way better than before and it is becoming more fluent. I just made some few mistakes when i was going down. So for next time i still need to work more on that part.

This is my first practice video on the semester 2. This is me practicing at home the Jazz modes which is the reverse mode. I think i did not do very well at this practice and it is still very hard for me because it is the reverse motion. I think for the next practice i will do it slower so it can be better than this.

-Today we were given a worksheet about the Jazz evolution and we need to highlight the important things in it with out partner. My partner was Adrian. Then we were asked some questions related to the one that we just read about per group. I think me and my partner did quite well but i think other groups did better than us though. After that we were also asked to play the jazz modes again with out respective instruments in front of the class and I think I did well but not good on the one going down. Then in our instrument class, we practice the reverse mode for the Jazz mode and it was really hard. For next time, I really need to work on this one.

-Today we had a short quiz about the Jazz music history that we have learned from the last meeting and which i had done the homework. I think i did not do very well in this quiz because I was not prepared yet for the quiz and next time, if i had quiz again i will study harder for it to get a better result than this. Then we also learned about Jazz modes which is quite simple actually in theory but it is hard in the practical. I was told to play by Mr Herry and i don't think i did quite well especially when it is qoing down. I did pretty well when i was going up. So, I need to practice this more at home for next session.

-Today in our theory class we learned the history of Jazz music because the topic for our music class this term is Jazz Music. Mr Herry gave out us handouts to study more about the Jazz history. We also get to discussed a few about the handout. I think Jazz will be quite hard for me because I usually study about classical or pop music instead of Jazz. Then we also learn about the scales and chords in Jazz music which is very hard for me to understand. So, for next class I need to finish the homework related to Jazz.
-While, in the instrument class, we practiced the scales and chords and it is hard for me as well because the interval are so wide and I can't really reach it. I think i will need to practice more on the chords.
