this is my other practice video. At this time, i was trying to put the right hand melody. I tried to create it but I think I did not do very well yet because creating jazz music is very hard for me. It is something that is very new to me. So, for next time, i would like to ask mr herry for further help.

This is my other practice video. I was still practicing singing the what a wonderful world song. However, this time I manage to sing it without looking to the script. I was able to memorize the song completely and I was very happy. I also think i had some improvements on the volume of my voice and I think that is good. So for next time, to prepare for my assessment i will keep on practicing like this.
Reflection No.7
-Today, we spend the whole session for rehearsing for our next singing assessment next week. I think at this point in time i was not well-prepared yet and i am very disappointed with myself. I was not able to memorize the lyrics yet so that is why for the rehearsal i still use the lyrics and still my voice was not loud enough and mr herry also said that the melody is too low for me. So, for next meeting i will be practicing without lyrics at home as well as work on my voice so that it would be loud and clear for my singing assessment.
Reflection No.6
-Today we only have one session of music class because we had ISA exam. We had the first singing assessment on the "I got Rhythm" song. I watched my friends performed first because Mr herry the start the assessment according alphabet but from backwards. I think i have tried my best and I was able to memorize the entire song however Mr herry said that my voice was too soft and not loud enough which is such a disappointment for me. So, for the next singing assessment i will be better than this and I will practice harder at home.

This is me practicing the simple chord progression. This time, unlike the previous practice for the left hand it is not just chord but it is scales. This make it even harder and I really struggle with this. From the video, you can see that I still try to find the correct scales and chords as I was going and i still make a lot of mistakes. I really need to practice harder on this one for next time.
This is the practice video of me, when I am practicing singing the "I got rhythm". At this point in time I was not able to memorize it yet because it was my first practice ever at home. However, other than that, I think i am already fine with it. Next time, I will try to start memorizing the lyrics so i will be much more prepared for the singing assessment.
Reflection No.5
-Today, in the theory class we submitted our homework which is an essay about what is improvisation in jazz. Then, mr herry also showed us a video about peole who plays the Jazz. We also sang the "I got Rhythm" to practice and prepare for our singing assessment next week. i think i did quite well but for next class i will try to memorize so that i can get a good score in the singing assessment. Then, mr herry also taught us on how to compose 12 baes blues which is I think it is much harder than composing a 16 bars usual composition. Then, while in the instrument class, we practiced the simple chord progression. I tried to play it but not in front of mr Herry and I think that I am really bad at it because it is very hard with all the flat keys. I really need to practice this more at home for next time before Mr herry checks it.

Reflection No.4
-Today in our theory class, we were divided into three groups which consists of 5-6 members. Then we were told to discussed about our respective topic. My group topic is about improvisation in Jazz music. After we discussed, we present our discussion to in front of the class. I think my group did pretty well with this topic because actually it is quite simple compared it to other groups topic. After that we get to see Nissa, Daniel, anthonny, and dito played the jazz modes with their respective instruments. For next time, i will make an essat of 200-400 words out of it.
-while in our instrument class we learned about the simple chord progression which is very hard to play for me and that is why i will be needing to practice it alot at home.
