In music instrument we play some songs each one of us, I was confuse what to play for the music instrumental piece from romantic era, like I was scared because the song I currently played isn't. And I think the only nice song in the Violin Suzuki Book 2 the Minuet In G but It's going to be hard well I need to practice more because I'm going to skip 5 number from what I'm currently playing.

This week in music theory we don't do things much all we did in the first day was listen to what the teacher was explaining to each of us. We got a good score I think I got the lowest because almost all of the classmates got 8, I got 7 and I think it's good enough and I was surprised when Mr. John announced to us that I got 7.4. It was surprising that Jason Binar got a lower score than mine but he got a re-test but I think it's okay for him to do a re-test.

I think this week we weren't that productive enough because when Mr. John was explaining (no offense) he could gave us something to work while he was explaining to others. This week was fun although there was no music theory on the 20th because the governor election I hope Jokowi wins LOL

On Tuesday we're supposed to do the theory and notation written test which is on 11 September 2012 but we asked Mr. John to move it into Wednesday because he wants us to get a good score so on Tuesday we review what we have learn during music theory from beginning until now. I think I could get a good score on this because it's not that hard after I review.
Turns out that Mr John was absent on Wednesday so we just review for  while and I think I'm going to be able to do it tomorrow. There was no instrument class because we took our time to learn to play angklung and I think it was worth because angklung is an instrument from our country itself
Thursday it was the day of the test I was prepared to do it and after a while of doing it, I think it wasn't that hard afterall, it was almost the same with the one we did the previous week

Tuesday Instrument class I barely do anything because it was Jason B's turn to play his cello and I need to wait for him and it took him almost all of the time in the session I hope next time I can play in the class so Mr. Sadrakh could see my improvement

Thursday music class after the test it was a happy day because we have finish the test, we play the G major and C major in class

During the music theory for these three days it was good because at the 4th September I pay attention to the powerpoint my friend did about Beethoven. On Tuesday next week some of us wants to have the quiz about notation to be on Wednesday so on Tuesday we still have time to practice. and MR said it's okay because we have no other assessment until 16 October. 5th September we review the whole 40 minutes about notation and I have to admit that it's not that hard after we review it. 6th September we have a pre-quiz about the notation to help us tomorrow and it's not that hard afterall I forgot some but I can understood it.

At music instrument class we play our song and practice ourselves. At the first day Mr. Sadrakh didn't come so we just practice our own or we can just relax because music was the last session and it was tiring. The 5th and the 6th we play one at a time Mr Sadrakh said he will teach us how to play the G major scale 3 oktav and I was very excited about this, but i will learn the basic of 3 oktav at my home first then I will let him correct me.

Today My partner Jason Riady arrived from Italy so we are now going to do the presentation again. I memorize some of the lines in the presentation because I put some of them in my booklet that our class have to submit today. But since many people go abroad during the holiday so we had a little time to do it. Mr John said we can submit the booklet tomorrow. After my presentation some of my friend said it's better than yesterday because I also researched for my booklet tomorrow.

At Instrument class I had my chance to play the violin and practice the same song to perfect it although there were not much time left.

29 August 2012

Today was the day of my music presentation... I think I did okay but turns out some of my friend told me it wasn't good enough because I forgot some of the lines and I looked at my palm card and the screen. Although they said that the powerpoint was good because there wasn't too much text. I hope the next time I do my presentation with my partner I can do better.

Today there were only a little time at instrument class. Because last time I already practiced so it were my friends turn to practice to make it fair

28 August 2012

Today as the first day of Music Class, we were preparing for our group presentation and our teacher: Mr. John and Herry were asking how was our progress of the Individual 25 pages booklet of Romantic Era Composer, I ave only started few pages on the booklet. For the presentation My Partner were still abroad so Mr gave me time for my presentation to be tomorrow. But we are going to do 2 presentation tomorrow I'm going to do the presentation alone after he (my partner) came back we are going to do it again.

At Instrument class we were having fun because it was after holiday so we just relax and practice our songs slowly because there was no need of rushing things.

14 August 2012

Today was the last day of school before the lebaran break, and also the last day for music class (theory and  instrument). Today we were discussing of what we are going to do after the holiday. There will be a group slide presentation of romantic era music and a booklet contain of Great Composers of Romantic Era.
at Theory class we were also explained about the notation of a note because there will also be a Theory and Notation Quiz on 11 September 2012 that will be hard because I'm NOT that good at memorizing notes it only makes me confused.
At Instrument class it has been a while since we had any because last week we were practicing for the singing assessment so there were no time to practice violin. But at home I spare some of my study time to practice instrument so I can get better. the video is
