Music reflection - 03/09/2009

Today is the day of the assessment. When I played the piano, I felt so nervous that I made lots of mistakes and I was playing too fast/ out of tempo. I was also eager to know my scores or results.

In music theory, I submitted the booklet of Sumatra music. Mr. Sadrakh and Mr. Herry also explained about putting our reflection on the blog. We have to send our url address to our teachers by using email.
In instrument class, I practiced playing a song on the piano for tomorrow's assessment. Mr. Herry gave us feedback on how to improve.

Yesterday, Nikkita, Jennifer, Matthew, Ryan and I were supposed to present our powerpoint presentation on Sumatran music, but some slides were missing and we have not put in an attachment such sound clips or videos. So, Matthew took it home and finished it so we were able to present it today. After that, Mr. Sadrakh told us to print the slides of the powerpoint and to make it into a booklet. When we finished writing that assignment in our learning journals, he also asked some people to play a song from an instrument they are currently learning now.

For instrument class, Mr. Herry teached us how to play harmonic minor scales. Identifiying notes with a sharp on it is such a fuss! I think I need to practice more on that and try to remember the fingering.

In theory class, Mr. Sadrakh explained that we have to present a powerpoint presentation on Indonesian traditional music. There was Nikkita, Jennifer, Matthew and Ryan in my group. Our main idea or topic is about Sumatran music. First of all, we discussed and divided jobs before we started making the powerpoint. It is due on 26/08/2009, so we agreed to finish editing the powerpoint presentation before the due date.
In instrument class, we practiced playing a song we are learning on the piano. I think my weaknesses are that I hit a lot of wrong notes on the keyboard of the piano and because I'm playing too fast.
