Week 1

Today is the starting day for  our new term, it means more music for us. Term 4 started okay  we were given a sheet of paper, it was our assessment schedules for gr9 music term 4. I read through it and was a bit shocked because we immediately have a new assessment next week Mr. John said that we need to submit it by wednesday next week meaning on 17 of April. But turns out we were given extra time because on the 15 and 16 we have out tryout for ujian nasional. And the next assessment would be making a jingle.

On wednesday, mr.John gave us a test for out listening skills, we have to guess the notes and which scales it belong to, he's using the piano btw. It was hard I had to guess at least 60% of them. luckily I got most of them correct (y).
and finally on thursday we got a quiz where we neeed to write chords, scales and inversions. mattk helped me abit and I helped him also it was fun and hard at the same it.

On instrument class we play the usual. Play our violin #Swag #YOLO
I play a new song btw

Video week 1 and week 2

This is me playing my violin as usual ehhehehe

just kidding it's actually me trying to play g major scale, I know it's not perfect but I will try to improve.

And this is me playing the song I've been telling you readers. it is called allegretto, I got it from the book mazaas violino duet. I play the first violin because I haven't get the second violin, I think I did well in this video

week 2

This is me playing G major scale finger four I think i'm getting better at this.

This is me again playing allegreto, it sucks.. compare to the first week it was much better but this one doesn't deserve an applause. I did bad I hope soon I can improve it.

12,13,14 March

This week we didn't have any music class T_T sad for me because I need to practice more for our Performance of the Russian Song arrangement. Well Tuesday was nyepi holiday its a holiday but on Thursday it's the day of our Try Out Ujian Nasional, it's not that hard though. I didn't do well in my math tryout because I'm not the thorough type hehehe. In all of my mistake, my answer was really close. Damn it!

Anyway, In theory we play our group Katyusha, I think we all did well. Although it took way too much time because I almost come late in my next class. I play the original Katyusha for two times and then I play my own modified Katyusha for the rest. Jason R played his own Katyusha. I think this may be one of the funnest music theory ever.

ps: There was no instrument class because we spent it on this.

12,13,14 Video

This is me playing G major scale until finger 4

In this video I was playing Katyusha. I did well in this video but I used my dad's laptop to record this and the result wasn't what I was expecting. Although I did well the music sounds really really loud.. sad

5,6,7 March

Time goes so fast.. I can't believe its already March.. Next Month we are going to have our Ujian Negara. ON March we are going to have our last music assessment is to Perform The Russian Song Arrangement and don't forget about our blog and MDW.

On the 5th we did our MDW, I wasn't having any trouble doing it because we only write our daily reflection. We also played Jason Riady's Katyusha to prepare us for the performance. We all played but i think we all did bad hehehehe. Violin plays melody so it's not hard for us neither for the guitar because they only play chord. But MattKas played it funny, he's late. Riady helped him lots of time I think maybe he will be able to play well soon.

26,27,28 Feb

This week is last week for February, I can't believe time goes so fast. ahhahaha......

But first let's talk about music. On Tuesday Mr John discuss about tetrachord. The truth is I have never heard of tetrachord... sad but I think only a few of us know the meaning of tetra chord. Anyway tetra chord is the chord to find the sharp or flat.

Wednesday: we discuss the trip to SIngapore, JB made the proposal to Mr. Tom, I hope that it will be accepted although we checked the price, it was more expensive..

Thursday we did the same thing as Wednesday.

19,20,21 February 2013

Tuesday: What could I say this was very surprising for me... We did our presentation. I was satisfied with our presentation. Everything went well in the presentation, Mr. Herry gave us suggestion on how we should present. What information we lack or how to explain well in a presentation. Darren may feel a bit offended because he was explaining and Mr. Herry cut him while he was talking... But afterwards, darren knew he should improve.

Wednesday: We got our MDW. We worked on it, apparently for some of us who did it on a different sheet of paper can just cut it and stick it in the MDW.

Thursday: was our FINALE draft day. Bad day for me because I need to download FINALE again, I worked on a sheet of paper although i'm done, I can't be sure because I can't checked it.


We barely have any time for our instrument class, well that's all for this week
