today mr heri asked us about the midi file and i havent submit the ont on the paper yet, while the file is already on his computer. and then we sing gundul gundul pacul again (it's the assessment). i missed a note or two because the piano is too high for my voice and yet my friends voice are quite high so she doesnt has a problem with it. we also practice more of la bamba awhile for the next assessment, which is la bamba, obviously.

16 oct 2009

06 oct 2009

today we learned about musical forms and also about child's song from, which is twinkle twinkle little star's. and make our own pop song just the way we liked, so all we have to do is put on an random notes so we can go ahead and try playing it via our instrument, in my case, my baby saxophone :D

Today we watch our music class video on yesterday session which is about the assessment test. i was so nervous because my performance was, dare i say, bad. and then after having fun and see others performance too and laughing at it, we moved on to learn accidental: sharp, flat and natural. and we give our url for blog to mr Heri

4 sept 2009

Today is the day we're gonna do our assessment test, first i was terrified because im not that good and i just plain shy about playing my instrument in front of others. but later i found myself get over it ad enjoyed it. and we also got homework, which is about chordsm and then mr. Heri said that we must fwd our email to his so he can see our reflection blog.

1 sept 2009

today we learn about skills and chord 7th from G-minor until D-minor. my problem is i cant tell the difference from 1st and 2nd chord, and about the sharp too, i dont know which one of those chord i should put a sharp. but after i come home and re-learn it a bit i got to know a few of what it really means.

today is the 3rd day, and when we arrived Mr. Hari is already dividing us into 4group for Music Genre Presentation Slide-show. Im in Group 2, with: Nadia, Fina, Ciayadi and Aldieno. we choose "pop-rock" as our genre, but i still dont get what we have to do, does we have to define it, tell who the singer was, tell what kind of song is pop-rock. so i got a little confused and messed up a view times. and we gotta sing Michael jackson's Heal twe world in full part, and in 4by4. i dont have any problem yet, seeing as we do this for fun and yet score.

OVERALL: i dont know what to do about the presentation slide-show, i might ask Mr. Hari about it.

Wed, 29th of July 2009

today is the second day we leanrt in music class, and we're gonna sing MJ's song the 1st and 2nd part (it consist of 4part). and also studying about Major Scale. i got a hard time understanding it because it's the first time i learnt music seriously, but i think i can follow the material for a while and i can always ask when i dont understand it.

OVERALL: Major scale is quite difficult for the first time but as time gooes by i think i can manage it wuite well.

Monday, 27th of July 2009

today is the first time we learnt in music class, and we talked about some rules, what to bring and why do we need it. and Mr. Heri said that we're gonna be divided into 4 instrument class, which is: Woodwind (Flute, Saxophone, Etc), Piano, String (Guitar), and Violin (or cello). i choose woodwind instrument class because i was mesmerized by the Baby Saxophone Mr. Harry (woodwind and vocal club coach) bring one, it's so shiny. oh, and also we learnt about music and asked to bring one of Michael Jackson popular song which is "Heal the world" in pair, i gotta partnered up with Gloria and Raisa.

I did well for the first time, it does help me when Gloria's and Raisa's voice is gret. i think i dont hit the highner note quite right so im gonna still practice it in my idle time.

OVER-ALL: i think we had a great time, and i think im gonna like it in this class
