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.

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.

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.

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

12,13,14 February 2013

This week was fun but it requires a lot of hardwork. We have 3 assessment due, this week the presentation, next week is our booklet and the next next week would be our arranging the Russian music. On Tuesday we continued to make our presentation. It wasn't easy but there were three composers so we decided to divided the three of them, Darren got Tchaikovsky, I got Kabalevsky and Matthew got Prokofiev. Wednesday, we got ourselves the sheet music of Katyusha for violin 1 and 2. I got violin two but it was harder, JR as a violinist senior switched it and he played it (I was grateful). Wednesday we spend our time playing the modified Katyusha. Finally Thursday, we present... Darren didn't come but we still had to present, I have no problem with that and when Darren comes we will present again. Anyway things were getting better but then it's time.. We didn't get time to do it.

This wasn't a fun week for us because there was no music class on the 5th and the 6th because of the ISA test. Before we get to the music class, I want to say that ISA wasn't hard and for the writing test, it was bad because there was only 30 minutes to do the work.

Mr. John was absent during Thursday so we had the theory class with mr Herry. We discussed what out upcoming assessments wwere. It was arranging a Russian Music, Katyusha.
We were divided into two groups only because there was only 2 pianos in our class, matthew and pinka. I got into Matthew's group with JR, Matthew S and Darren that day we were measuring what's the lowest note and the highest note we can put in the arrangement.
