Music reflection- 23/05/2011

Today we had our practical assessment. I was the second person to perform. strangely, i was not nervous. Not very nervous at least. I played really well, I played fluently with dynamics, feeling and with no mistakes at all.

Today, we did our final rehearsal for our practical assessment. I think I did well, I played fluently except for the B part. i played at the end of the class so 7E was standing infront of the class door watching me perform too. Best part of it? I got extra applause and cheers ;)

Today, in theory class, some people performed/rehearsed playing their songs for the assessment next week. I think all of them needs to practice a lot more because they weren't all that good and fluent. for instrument class, we watched a video of our first rehearsal.

Today, we had an assessment, which is to write an essay about John Williams. I think I did well on the test, I wrote pretty much everything I could remember from the handout.

Music reflection- 09/05/2011

in theory class, we only read the handout about John Williams because we have an assessment related to this composer on Thursday. We read it over and over again so that the information will be soaked up to our brains. Then, after reading, Mr. Sadrakh called some students to recite facts about John Williams. In instrument class, we practiced our songs again. This is a rehearsal for another upcoming assessment. we were asked to give feedback on each other's song/melody and their performance.

Music reflection- 02/05/2011

In theory class, we read our reflections in January and February. And some time later, mr. Sadrakh asked 2 students from each instrument class to rehearse their song but the only one who played was Nadya. In instrument class, we practiced our song (as usual) that we have to play in our practical assessment on May 19. I think I played better than last week, I made lass mistakes and played more fluently.

Music reflection 28/04/2011

in theory class, Mr. Sadrakh was back to teach us again. we discussed a bit about John Williams, He then explained how music was his life. He told us about a sad song that his dad composed. It made him cry sometime. Mr. Sadrakh then asked some of the students how music is important to them. in instrument class, we continued practicing our songs. I think I played better than I did on Monday. I only need to practice the B part of my song.
