Music reflection - 21/10/2009

Mr.Sadrakh took our attendance and reviewed something about our home work. We were told to copy the pentatonic scale melody we composed to a sheet of paper. We will be rewarded extra points if we write neatly! He said we will have to play it for our assessment this term. After that activity, we had to sing the chinese folk song that we learned last week by pairs.

In instrument class, we were shown the finale 2009 software that we have to download.

Mr. Harry gave us an example of how to use it.

Today, we learned how to sing an Indonesian song called "Gundul gundul pacul". First we sang it together, and then later we sang two by two. My partner is Jesica. 

In instrument class, we played the song we composed (using pentatonic scales...) coordinating them with broken chords.

Mr. Sadrakh took our attendance and checked our previous home work. He also quizzed some people about chords. Then later, we learned to sing a Chinese folk song - translated in english. Mr. Sadrakh tried to sing it with the Chinese version and it was very funny! He pronounced some words wrongly and had a funny tone.... :D

  First we checked our attendance (as usual...).  Mr. Sadrakh also checked if we did our homework or not. Some people didn't complete their homework so they'll get a zero for their scores. Then, we were shown Shania's and Sunaina's blogspot page. Afterwards, he gave us a sheet with two Indonesian song lyrics and some info of it at the back. We learned the pentatonic scale and our homework is to compose a melody out of it.

  In instrument class, Mr. Harry gave us some tips of how to compose the melody. Some people finished it already, like Louis so Mr. Harry asked him to play his song for us.

  First, we checked our homework, which is placing a sharp to 1 of the notes in the G major scale. Some people didn't understand and were confused so Mr. Sadrakh explained it again and quizzed them. After that, we were explained about the D major scale and A major scale.

  Today in theory class, we learned the G major scale and Mr. Sadrakh gave us  homework about it. We also learned why it is called the natural or major scale. And then he told us our assessment scores and I got 98 out of 100!

  In instrument class, we discussed about term 1 activities and what yo prepare for term 2.
