Today is the first day of music class and today, we were just talking about what do we do in this semester. First, Mr.Herry told us about putting our videos and reflection on the blog. Then, we were divided into groups of 4 instruments. I choose violin as my instrument. Last 2 years, I'm joining vocal, but, since there is no vocal class anymore, I choose violin. After that, the music teacher do some performance to inspire us. We were also going to learn pop and classical music. I think it's gonna be interesting and I will work hard for this semester.I'm gonna start to research about pop and classical music to make a preparation for the essay report.

Today, we're starting to learn music theory. Mr.Herry thought us about the basic on major scale.
I've been learning with this before, so, I think, it's easier for me to understand, and until now,
I didn't find any difficulties in learning the basic on major scale. I will research more about pop
and classical music and prepare for the quiz.

Today, in music theory lesson, Mr.Herry discuss with us about the assessment and tasks that
we need to do and accomplish. We discussed about the group presentation slides, individual
report, music performance, etc. Then,Mr.Herry told us to prepare a song ( pop song) that will be
performed at the 1st week of February and there will be a rehearsal for the performance tomorrow.
I was so confused at that time because I don't really hear a pop song, so, I think, I will choose
Michael Jakson's song because for me, it was kind of easy, and the songs are good. Before we
finished the music theory lessons, we were also divided into groups for the group slide presentation
and each group consist of 6 people.

Today, Mr.Herry taught and discussed about classical music and the type of classical music are
there in those era. I've done my research last week, but I think, I need to research more about it
because there are many things that I still don't know about it. We also discussed about the famous
classical composers. After Mr.Herry done giving us some introduction about classical music, he
told us to rehearse for the singing assessment next week. For the singing assessment, i choose
the song "You are not alone" from Michael Jackson because I think, it's a good song and I like it.
Not everyone got a chance to rehearse because the time has finished, so, the rest will be given a
chance to rehearse next week.

Today, we have so much things to do in music class. First, we discuss about the essay report that will be submitted tomorrow and Mr.Herry gave us some materials that is useful for the essay. Then, after we finished discussing about the essay, we continue to rehearse for the singing assessment next week. I think, I'm gonna have a hard time in making the essay because I have not prepare anything yet. Then, we also discussed about the group presentation. And I think, I also need to prepare for the group presentation.

Today is the submission of the essay. Luckily, Mr.Herry give us an extention so that we can submit it on Friday, but, we must give the hard copy and not the soft copy. After we discuss about the essay, we continue to do the rehearsal for the music assessment next week. Most of the students sang well and the music that they chose is very good. At home, I will contineu to write my essay and I will practice more and more to sing for the singin assessment.

Today is the day of our individual singin assessment. Firstm we were distributed a paper and we must make our reflection about the essay that we;ve made. Then, after that, we submit it. After that, we were given a booklet of our individual singing assessment. We take a vote and we decided to do the singin assessment alphabetically from a to z. Unfortunately, because of the time, we were finished until the students with a "D" of the first letter in their name. I think i get my turn tomorrow, I will prepare it at home tonight,

Today, we start to do the group slide presentation. Our class was divided into 5 groups. 4 groups have 5 members each and 1 group have 6 members which is my group. My group is the first one who's gonna present the group slide presentation. We are kind of hopeless because we don't bring the cube card, so, we must always look at the back to read the presentation. During the presentation, I was kind of down because the music that I've put in that presentation doesn't work and some of the members in my group speak kind of slow. Because of that, it;s kind of wasting time. But, I was relieved because it's finally over. Group 2 is well-prepared and they also have good music and they were confident. Group 3 is the best so far because their presentation is good and they have good music. They also have a good timing. They also have a cube card, Group 4 is not bad, but, the things is, they don't have cube card and music. Group 5, which is the last group, is also good and they also have videos of classical and pop music.

Today, we start to learn about notation. First, we make a "c" and "g" major scale and we make tonic triot, 1st inversion and 2nd inversion out of it. It was kind of easy because I've learnt it before and I think, I don't have any problem so far. At home, I will got to www.teoria.com and learn more about music theory so that in advanced to make me easier to understand if some of the topics were discussed in the class. I will also practice more about this notation.

Today,we start the music class by watching some performance of some instruments in the video. We watch someone teaching how to play flute, someone is playing guitar which is incredibly good, a 7-years-old girl sing amazingly, and many more inspiring videos. I was inspired and I really want to work harder than this and I want to be good at violin and piano. After we watch the videos, Mr.Herry check our homework. I will learn more about major scale because there will be a quiz on this topic.

Today, we start to practice how to play our instrument in front of the class. The assessment will be next week and we really need to practice everyday. I think I really need to practice more because I can't plat the violin correctly. At home, I will practice to play the song "Twinkle twinkle little star". I'm gonna practice it everyday.

Today, we start our theory lesson by revising the major chord that we've learnt before. Then, after that, we learn a new topic which is major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th and diminish 7th. I'm kind of new with this topics but I know a little bit because I've learnt it through my piano lesson last year. I'm kind of interested in learning this topic and I will learn more about this at home.

Today is the day our assessment. I was very nervous. My legs and hands were shaking. But I was relieved because t's finally over. Violin group was the third one who perform. I think I did well on the assessment. I really need to practice more and more. I also need to train myself to not always too nervous when I play in front of the class.

Today, to start our lesson, Mr. Herry gave us the score of our assessment (singing). I got 8 over 10 and I was really happy. I thought that I failed on this assessment, but, hopefully, I passed and I got a good score. I must improve to sing louder next time. After this, we had a small quiz about classical music,and the music theory that we've been learning all this time. For me, it was kind of easy but I need to learn more about the history of music.
