Today was the the day where we have to do the singing assessment. this term is quite jammed, so tha's why we're having an assessment this early on the term. i did very bad because i wasn't healthy from the very start and also dizzy which caused me to forgot a line or two off of a lyrics. next time i'll ry harder and practiced more despites the sickness and all the obstacles that may come.

Today i was coming to school and smoothly going to music class, i was prepared to do the make-up test for the all of me song using my own instrument. but i was shocked to find out that mr hery was absent today, so i have to wait until next session to do my make-up test. we were doing the revision for major scale and i already understood half of it but i still having a problem memorizing the other major. so i'll try hard to learn it.

Today we were told to play the all of me song once again. i did well considering the others who's still in the way baaaack, at least i do 1 row (4bars) but for the other bars i still don't get it. i'll practice hard at home much more harder than before cause all of me song isn't as easy as it sounds. and also we have to write a reflection about the final draft of our 12bar blues.

Feb 16, 2010

Today i submitted the ragtime's booklet based on our individual booklet on our group presentation. and we also learn more about boogie-woogie bass. mr heri asks us to also submit the final draft of our twelve bars blues. we learn the difference about c6, c7 and major7.

Feb 12, 2010

Today we were going to play the all of me song again with our instrument of course, but first mr heri said he will play our twelve bars blues draft once at a time, so we got a chance of hearing what we've wrote so far. mine was played right at the middle and there's a problem with the high notes and downward notes too. i'll fix it at home and make sure it will be great to be heard.

Today's the first day of term 3, we're having a discussion about our term 3 topic and criteria. which is jazz and the branches of it. and also all the tasks. i will learn more about blues and jazz because i have no idea and having a hard time understanding it, mainly because it's about history.
