This week is the last week of music class for term 1. we start this week on Tuesday by the music notation test. We were given time to practice for about 30 minutes to practice before the real assessment begin. I think that I'm ready but to know that guitar was the one who supposed to play first it's fun. All the guitars did well, Piano continue but they also did well. Finally Violin, Jason and Nigel played first and they did well I don't get a chance to play. On Wednesday Cello play first and I think he did well. I also did well for the last one Eun Joo also played well. Thursday we were practicing for a new song. because we want to get better.

This is the video when Me and Jr played the Minuet In G. I was the one who asked him to play with me I guess that its Minuet In G - by Rico feat. Riady. I don't think I did great in this movie because I'm not used to play together well I need to because Mr. Sadrakh said we are going to play this song together after the assessment to get an extra score I hope that I can play with them.

for the second video it's me practicing the major scale, I think from the beginning of music class I have gotten a lot better since I practice in class for 3 whole days

This week we barely did anything, we were given a treble clef and we need to convert it into the base clef. I didn't understand at first but then I open my notebook and read it all over, I realized that actually it wasn't that hard and I think that it's easy, so then I do it fast. We then discuss our blog because some of us couldn't upload their videos or they were having a problem when they upload the video because it was too slow. I was having a problem with it because it took me almost an hour just to upload a more-less 1 minute. Then me and JR play this song called minuet in G it wasn't that hard but our playing didn't match so I think it's better for me to play alone.

In music instrument we were practicing our song as usual, I think we all did great and Binar practice hard I guess because he's a lot better than he used to for these whole music session. Wednesday, we barely have any time to practice in the class because we took the time for theory class. Thursday we practice as usual

2,3,4 October

This week’s music theory we start by learning the Ledger Line (I don’t really know how to spell it so

yea) we thought it was something hard but turns out it’s just the line that goes under the Note A and the

line that crosses the note B and the line that crosses and under the note C.

 

In simple that is the Ledger line. The picture shows the ledger line at the high note and the low note.

The next activity was to do the worksheet that’s similar with the one

we did at the notation test. It’s similar but with different content. It's was a tiring day for me so I only

helped Jr a bit by doing the worksheet. Then we discuss with mr John about

our  solo instrumental song, we told him to make the test on the 17^th instead of the 16^th so we can still

practice on Tuesday and do the test on Wednesday.


For our music Instrument we were practicing and preparing for our song. I didn't play on the Thursday

because I did my part already on the Tuesday and Wednesday. I think everyone was ready except for Binar. He got what it takes to play the Cello but there was no effort in him...

Videos

this is the video of me trying to play the G major scale until 3- Octave. I hope that I can be better in the next time I played the song I can be better. And by that I mean a lot better because I don't think that I did well on this. 

These videos are showing that I was plaing the Minuet  in G as you can see there's three video because it's a lot faster to upload more videos than 1 videos that took a lot of time that's why I made 2 videos of me playing the minuet in G.

This week in Music Theory we learn Intervals and dynamics. Which I think it's hard to understand because I'm not the type who likes to learn music theory, but anyway after few moments of boredom I pay attention and realized that the Interval wasn't that hard after all. So basically in music theory , an interval is a combination of two notes, or the ratio between their frequencies. (The next sentence I got it from the internet) Two-note combinations are also called dyads . Although chords are often defined as sets of three or more notes, intervals are sometimes considered to be the simplest kind of chord.

In music Instrument we practiced our song on Wednesday because JB took almost all of the instrument time without letting Mr Sadrakh hear our song. We play our song while we're practice alone and then he would tell us to play one by one so that he know what we should improve on our song for example my hands are flexible enough to play the song Minuet in G but I need some more power to make the song more awesome.
