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.
