Reflection term 4 week 5 and 6

Week 5

7 May and 9 May 2012

How did my singing assessment go?

On Monday, my class had the group singing assessment on a jazz song titles "Close to You". This song was originally sung by carpenters. Mr.Herry gave us one week to prepare with our group to practice. My teammates are Yoshiko and Derrick. After we were divided into groups, we started to practice and we had so much help from our instrument teacher, Mr.Sadrakh. He helped us to divide our voices and make some harmonization to the song. He also accompanied us by playing the organ. I think my group did a really good job in the assessment. We were all able to sing it well, remember our parts and memorize the song. I think, we could have done it better if we have more practice. This week, we only had one music instrument class because  the class on Monday was used for our group singing assessment. On Wednesday, we start to practice playing the autumn leaves again. I think we did some improvements as we have been practicing this song for quite a long time. We decided to practice together as we wanted to prepare for our Jazz ensemble assessment that is going to come in this near time.


Week 6

14 May and 16 May 2012

How is my progress in the Jazz ensemble?

I was absent this week, so, I haven't practice the Jazz ensemble with my friends. However, one of my friend told me the song that we are going to play which is "smile". If I have time, I am going to record the video practice of this song.
