Music Reflection (30 May 2012)

Today was a very pressured music session because we were given 2 booklets to do and fill in. The first booklet was about our reflections and stuff and we were supposed to put a picture that is related with the blogspot. the first booklet can be submitted tomorrow or after school. the 2nd booklet was about all of the assessments and reflections we did the past terms (term 3 and term 4). in total we had to write about 4 things. It was very pressured because there were A LOT of things to write and we were supposed to like fill in the lines completely. We werent allowed to make big spaces while writing because that would be cheating. I didnt finish my booklet on time so i had to stay back a little until i finished it. Some of us werent finished also.

And today was the last day of music this year. :(

Music Reflection (25- May- 2012)

Today, some of us had to redo our assessment because some got a very low score and some got 7 or 8. The ones who got 8 and below had to redo but Mr. Sadrakh said it was optional. I got 9 so i dont think i want to redo because whenever i perform in front of people i get very nervous then i play things wrong and then ill mess it up. Apart from doing the redo assessment we also talked and discussed a little bit about our Reflection journal and blogspot. Mr. Sadrkh gave us temporary scores for the blog. some of us failed because they havent updated their blogs. :D

Music Reflection ( 23- May- 2012)

Today I did a duet with another guy from violin named William. We stopped a lot of times and did some mistakes. After a few minutes Mr. sadrakh told us to stop playing. he said that we can redo later on Friday. But then after everyone played, he told is our scores. I got 9 out of 10

Music Reflection (18-May- 2012)

Today we reviewed about the interval and stuff with Mr. harry because Mr. sadrakh was absent. I then played the song that I'm going to play for the assessment. We had to pick one of the class mates from each instrument class. I was in the piano class they picked me to play my song and I played canon. today in instrument class each of us practiced our song and we had to grade each of us and give each of us like comments and like what we have to improve and what are the bad things that we played our song. I got Bs.

Music Reflection ( 16- May- 2012)

Today we practiced each of us our assessment songs and i practiced a lot at home but i get nervous when i play in front of people. I played duet again with William -___-" and Mr. Sadrakh made me and William do a duet later in the assessment day. But the good thing is that we will get extra points if we play a duet together. :D

Music Reflection (11- May- 2012)

Today we talked about notations and Mr. Sadrakh asked most of us and how to read the notes that he wrote on the board. Some of us had trouble reading it but i knew most of the notes but i know that i had to review more about the notations.

Music Reflection (9- May- 2012)

Today each of us practice our song for the assessment i played canon and i got no points because i answered the questions right. Then it was William's turn he played canon as well but he played the violin. Then Mr. Sadrakh told us to do a duet together. -______-"

Music Reflection (4- May- 2012)

Today we did another assessment and fortunately it was an open book assessment. Basically its like a comprehension kind of test. its a long story.

Today in instrument class, we discussed about the major scales and we practiced each of our songs one by one.

Music Reflection (2- May- 2012)

Today we did the music written assessment and i was worrying because i was afraid that i failed. When i got the assessment i think it was not that difficult but the part where we had to define the words, i had a bit of trouble with it.

Music Reflection (25- April- 2012)

Today we discussed about the baroque composer Mr. Sadrakh also reminded us that we will have 2 assessments on Friday and i am panicking. Mr Sadrakh also called one by one to read the baroque booklet.

Today in instrument class we talked about the characteristics of baroque music and talked about the baroque era. Afterwards we played the song and i think i had to play faster but also maintain my tempo.

Music Reflection (20/April/2012)

Today, some of us re-did our music singing assessment, i obviously re-did my assessment because it was VERY horrible last time. When i did it today, i failed again and i did the same thing as i did last time. I hate it when i sing in front of people it makes my voice very stiff and because of that, sometimes, i can't even say a word. Apart from doing our assessment, we also read out Baroque Booklet and read it through because we will have a written assessment about the Baroque music period, and i am quite scared about it.

Today, in our instrument class, we did the song that we picked for our assessment and i did my song, out goal today was just to play 8 bars but instead i learnt the whole song, Mr Herry said, i just have to work in my staccato. We did practice one by one but some of us didn't do our song because the time was so little and it was time for the other class to have the session.

Music Reflection (18/April/2012)

Today we had our assessment and when it was my turn, i failed because i can never sing in front of people ever since "someone" insulted my singing and from then on i never dared to sing or even sing in front of people. When i sang, my voice became stiff and i couldn't say a word out of my mouth and i almost cried. When i was trying to sing, Tiffany tried to help me by asking Mr. Sadrakh if she can stand with me while i sing, but he wont allow her. I would probably sing better if i was just singing in front of the girls. Not the guys.

Music Reflection (13/April/2012)

Today, we discussed about the Baroque composer booklet. Then we sanf and practiced the song that was given earlier. Mr sadrakh called us one by one to sing in front of the class and i was paired up with Chiora my friend. When it was our turn to sing, i couldn't concentrate so i kept on laughing and i felt ashamed of myself :( so we failed :/

Today, in instrument class, Mr herry showed us some of the pieces of songs by Bach and Baroque style of song. My song that i picked for this is Minuet, but in a different version of it.

Music Reflection (11/April/2012)

Today was the first week of school and also the first session of Music. Today, in music class, we discussed about our new up coming assessment and we were supposed to sing a western song and i can't even pronounce some words in the lyrics. Afterwards, we discussed about the Baroque booklet and i got 6. Then we talked about our blogspot.

Today in Instrument class, Mr. Herry was unable to join us because he has something to do, so he gave us 2 books of baroque songs by Bach and he told us to just pick one of the songs and practice it. But then i don't wan to pick from that book because i want to pick my song at home and i also bought a Baroque book by Bach earlier so i was planning to use it.

Music Reflection (28/March/2012)

Today in music class, I did my assessment because i was absent last week and i had to do it. i got 9 over 10 and i was very proud of myself. The only problem was that i was very shy and my hands were shivering. I think i did some mistakes while i was playing my own melody.
After i played my melody Mr. Sadrakh game me a booklet to finish and i did. While i was doing the booklet, some of my friends re-did their assessment because for those people who Mr. Sadrakh called had a chance to redo it. After i was done doing the booklet, i did another booklet about the reflection. I was writing as fast as i can because i was afraid the teacher was going to collect the booklet when i am not even finish with it. So obviously, my hand writing was very ugly and horrible.

Music Reflection (23/March/2012)

~Holiday~

Music Reflection (21/March/2012)

~i was absent~

Music Reflection (16/March/2012)

Today, we discussed about our reflection and our blog spot. Mr. Sadrakh asked us one by one to read our blogspot date-by-date. Today i didnt bring my music book and i had my reflections in it. So today i had a reminder D':

Today in instrument class, we practiced one by one for our melody, i needed to practice more on my tempo and my left hand. The music assessment is next week and i hope i have enough time to master it :(

Music Reflection (14-March-2012)

Today, we discussed about our Finale score almost everyone got 10 out of 10 which is a full score. All the piano student got 10 out of 10/ full score. Mr. Herry replaces Mr. Sadrakh for about 10 minutes because he had to go up to the 8th floor to fix something. While Mr. Herry was replacing him, we talked about the IDU projects.

Today, in Instrument class, we practiced one by one with our melody and i think i did the same thing as last session, but i had to still practice with my left hand. the most thing i have to practice is the tempo because sometimes i go to fast, and sometimes i go to fast.

The music assessment is next week which is 21st of March and i have to master my song to get a good score. I will be much much more better next time. I hope. :(

Music Reflection (9-March-2012)

Today, in theory class, we practiced the dance for PE also with our music too. But our is one of the worst. So we/our group had to practice even more. We also had to change our dance a bit because they melody is not fit with the dance moves. And also the dance is a bit to short and it doesn't math the song too. We are afraid that we might fail and we might change the whole dance moves :(

Music Reflection (7-March-2012)

Today in Music Theory class, we discussed about our Finale and who hasn't submit it yet. We also discussed about helping one of our classmates, brian and whoever helped him, got an extra point. i didn't help him though but 2 of the guys in my class did so they got extra points while Brian's point was taken.

Today, in Music Instrument class, we played our own melody one by one in front of the class (piano class, not the whole 7B -_-) i was first because it was picked by the alphabet. I think my melody is quite well and i'm in the process of mastering it. The only part where i have to learn more is the left hand because the last session, Mr. Herry changed me left hand into a bit challenging one but it was FUN to learn. Next time i will try to do my best again in the next music session.

I also need to learn and smoothly with my song because the assessment is not far from now... -_-

Music Reflection (2/March/2012)

Today, in theory class, we discussed about our blog, some of us didnt give tbe URL to Mr. Sadrakh. Chiora, my best friend, didnt give her URL to Mr. Sadrakh, but she didnt memorize her own URL but thankfully i did (i think) so i helped her. (the only reason why i remembered, is because i stalk people...shhh ;p)

Today in instrument class, we took turns playing our melody with Mr. Herry. I was the 3rd last to play. When it was my turn to play, he changed some parts of the left hand because he wants me to be more creative with my left hand. I tried to play the left hand slowly but i have FAILED :(. So i need to practice more with my left and i have to master it because i said in my last few blogs, the assessment is not far away from now. (plus i want to have a good score this semester)

Music Reflection (29/February/2012)

Today, in theory class, Mr Sadrakh and Mr. Herry wrote down everyone's group members. Mr. Sadrakh said he will pick only one our melody from each group. Unfortunately, My group had already picked mine and we already planned to mix mine and vania's melody to be fair. :'(

Music Reflection (24/February/2012)

Today, we discussed about our finale again and for those people in my class who hasn't submitted the finale assessment has to submit it by today. But i have to re-do my finale song composition because i need to put the chords but i haven't put them so i had to take it back today and put the chords by today so i had to stay back. After school, i went up to Mr. Herry to help me with putting the chords and also fixing the left hand. And fortunately i finished the finale on time.

Music Reflection (22/February/2012)

Today, in theory class, we submitted our both of our assessments. I also gave Mr. Sadrakh the soft and hard copy to him so i sent him my finale with my email from Yahoo! and he helped me print it.

Today, in instrument class, we learnt the left hand for our melody. I already figured out what mine was but i think i have to practice a few times to master my song. and i think i have to master it fast because the assessment of playing our songs is about 2-3 weeks ahead and i am the type of person that learns really slow. i think i have to start practicing later at home.

I think i will do much better in the next session of the instrument class.

Music Reflection (17/February/2012)

Today we talked about our Finale again, i was almost done with my composition melody and i think i just have to make the left hand. Mr herry also showed us some of the variation for the left hand i think i will not follow his style of the variation but i will try to make my own style for the left hand because i want to be different from the others.

Music Reflection (15/February/2012)

Today, we talked about our finale and i am in the process of making my finale because i need to change some of the notes or probably change the whole melody.

Music Reflection (10/February/2012)

Today, i finished my melody, i didn't really had any trouble with it. Anyways, after i made my song, it was my turn to play my melody i think it was a very weird song. I think i am planning to change my melody to a nicer one.

Music Reflection (17/February/2012)

Music Theory Class
Today, Mr. Sadrakh asked us how we were doing for our blog some of us needs to make a new blog because they are new students and some has to re make their blogs bcuz some of their blogs got deleted or forgot their passwords.

Instrument Class
Today,  Mr. Herry asked us one by one if we had done our homework, which is finishing with our melody. Only 1 student has done the melody. But the others weren't done yet, including me. Mr Herry was quite mad. But he gave us the whole session to finish our melody. I was almost finished with my melody. And fortunately i was finished it on time. My friends played their melody, and i think that their songs were nice, i liked it. When it was my turn to play my melody, i had some trouble playing my song because the beat that Mr Herry made was too fast for me to catch up. Mr herry said that there were some mistakes in my song so i had to fix it when i get home.

Music Reflection (15/February/2012)

Today in theory class, Mr. Sadrakh discussed about our Baroque composers booklet. He gave us a booklet about the things that we should do to make the assessment booklet good. He actually gave us the booklet after i was done doing the Baroque composers booklet, so basically i had to redo the Baroque composers booklet. But the good thing about this is that he gave me an extra point if we did the Baroque composers booklet first. Some people didn't do it though. In the class Mr. Harry also helped us install the application "Finale". Another thing that we discussed is that Mr. Sadrakh and Mr. Herry reminded us to do the 32 bar melody. In this assessment, we are suppose/instructed to create our own melody. I wasn't finished yet, but 2-3 of my friends already completed it. Mr. Herry played their melody and i think it was pretty good.

Today, we didn't have instrument class because Mr. Sadrakh said that we have a lot of things to do and we cannot waste time. So, we spent the instrument class time discussing about the assessments that we should complete and do.

Music Reflection (08/February/2012)

Music theory reflection
Today, Mr. Sadrakh gave us the dates and lists of things that we are going to learn next term. Then Mr. Sadrakh gave us a software that could help us make notes and stuff. This software helps us to make music and it would be easier than writing 32 whole bars by hand. He also then showed us some eexamples on how to use he software. This software is called "Finale"

Music Instrument reflection
Today, we are told to make a 4 bar music with the C, G, AM and F chord i think it wasn't to hard to figure out which note i need to insert. But i also had 20% trouble imagining on what the song will sound like in my mind. After we were all done, Mr. Herry took at least 1 bar from each of us and he combined it together. We heard how the song went like, it was AWESOME. Next Mr. Herry gave us an assignment that we had to continue doing another 4  bars for the song that we made earlier.

Music Reflection (3/February/2012)

Theory Class
Today we learnt/reviewed about the chords, Mr. Sadrakh asked us 1 by 1 again about the chords. I think i had 25% of trouble memorizing it. But i will try my best to memorize/review the chords.

Instrument Class
Today, we played the C, G and D major i think it was a bit easy but i also had a bit of problem on which hand i am suppose to put on which note.

Music Reflection (1/February/2012)

Today, we learnt about the chords and i think its a bit easy, Mr. Sadrakh asked us one by one about the chords (again) and we had to memorize it this time. I don't think i had too much trouble memorizing it because i can 60% aware of this ever since i was a little girl

Music Instrument (27/January/2012)

today we reviewed the C major scale and we also reviewed the music notations. we then also learnt how to play the 2nd octave scale. Mr Sadrakh asked us one by one about the music notations. i think it is pretty easy to answer.

Music Reflection (25/January/2012)

Today we did the music assessment which is for singing 'Hari Merdeka'. Then i was called with Chiora (my partner in singing the song). The first time i sang i laughed and couldn't concentrate because when i always perform in front of a big crowd of the whole class, i always get distracted by things around me. Mr Sadrakh got mad at us so he gave us a 2nd chance. When i sang for the 2nd time, i only can concentrate a bit but only for 30% plus i also was holding back my laugh so my voice was not that much clear. Then after we were done singing, Mr sadrakh gave us the score, i got one of the lowest i got 6.5 out of 10. Mr Sadrakh said there is a possibility that we can re-do. when everybody was finished, Mr. Sadrakh called us back in and we had to re-do it. This time i think i concentrated very good. After i sang Mr. Sadrakh gave us our score, i got 8.5 but Chiora (my partner) got 8. Today we also didn't have instrument class because we had no time and we gave the whole time for the music assessment.

Music reflection (20/January/2012)

Theory Class
Today, we practiced the 'Hari Merdeka' song, i didn't have any trouble memorizing the lyrics but i had a problem on PRONOUNCING some words in indonesian language in the song. Then we also checked our homework that was given last session/ last time we had music.

Instrument Class Reflection
Today, we practiced the C major in the piano, i had a tiny bit of difficulty on which finger i am suppose to turn or which hand i am suppose to press the key with. I also had another trouble because my finger nails are to long and i can damage the piano and it can effect the way i play the piano. We also then learnt the F and G clef. I think i have to practice more on my scale and i will get better next time i play piano (i think)

Music Reflection (18/January/2012)

Today, we had our first instrument class. there, we shared our phones and names. we also discussed the music types that we are going to learn in this semester; Baroque music and classical music.
