Term 3/4 - Week 8
Music Jingle
This week is the last week ever in the year that we will going to do music. This last week's music instrument class was changed into the jazz ensemble group performance. It's pretty sad that next year we won't be meeting any of the teachers sooner or later.

Term 3/4 - Week 8
How was My Jazz Ensemble Performance?
I fell really good after I finish my performance, it felt like a heavy weight has been lifted up my back. I think that my performance couldn't get any better than it did today. I was also very happy that nothing didn't go wrong and everything went perfectly fine.

What do I think of my Jingle?
I think that Nico and I did a pretty good job in composing our finale jingle. The final song that Nico made was absolutely stunning! It has the complexity of the instruments involved in the jingle that creates the simplicity feeling of the song. That's why I was so impressed by it.

Term 3/4 - Week 6
Jazz
In music instrument class I learn about the "Autumn Leaves" song from Mr. John. Mr. John teaches me how to play the song using a style called "Bossanova" style. Bossanova stgyle is when we pick the bass string once and three of the bottom string once and so on and so forth, this will later create some what of a jazzy feeling to the song.

How Was My Jazz Ensemble Group Progress? (Jazz)
I think that my jazz ensemble group is doing pretty well up to this point. I'm already able to play the whole song of "Autumn Leaves" and also able to accompany my friend's instruments like violin and flute. Overall I think that we can improve overtime as we practice more and more, and I have a feeling that we will give a spectacular performance in the end of it.

Term 3/4 - Week 5
No Class
We didn't really have enough time to do anything in in instrument class, since most of the time was taken up too much for the singing assessment. I hope that for next week's instrument class we will actually use the time for learning our instrument instead of another assessment. As much as I love music theory, I still want to improve on my guitar skills as well, so that I could apply the later on in life.

How Did My Singing Assessment Go? (Singing Performance)
This week's music theory class was changed into the singing assessment. My group, group #3, Gitta, Adam Reikhan, Jessica, and I, sang the last because one of our group member, which was Adam Reikhan, can't make it to school in time. I think that my group sang pretty well, and I sang well for my part of the song too, but I got a feedback telling me that I need to sing louder.

How does business and industry affect music-makers and users?
Business and Industry impacted the world of music greatly since with the cooperation of business and industry with music they start producing money and artist and music-maker start to have a life of their own through the help of music. This week, we started our singing performance, my group consists of Gitta, Adam Reikhan, Jessica, and I myself. Adam Reikhan and I are in charge of singin part 3 of the song "Close to You."

Term 3 - Week 3
No class (Music Presentation)
Instead of instrument class we are doing our presentation. My group consist of me, Dio, Nico, Boy, and Ikhsan. I think I did pretty well on my presentation slide since I think that I was able to convey my message clear enough to my classmates so that they understand. All and all, my group did pretty well too.

How have developments in technology changed the ways in which we engage with music?
Music has developed through time without a single hint of technology involved. Now, with the help of technology, music has now developed new genres of music and also perfected genres that already exist in the first place. Technology created electric guitar and in which guitar is an essential part of rock, this actually means that technology was the one who help the development of rock.

Term 3 - Week 2
Study for test
In class we asked Mr.John about the chord inversions and how to figure out what the chord is by looking at the notes that are used in the chords. We basically did this the whole time throughout our instrument class time, we hope that we will be able to do good on the actual test.

What are the functions of music in society?
To me, music is a way to express our feelings and it somewhat played an important part in our life. Music accompanied us in lots of situations and to me music accompany me through thick and thin and help me face problems I have. In class we learn about the chord inversions in major 7, minor 7, and dominant 7 chords. We also took a quiz about them, but I think that I didn't do pretty well on it. I wasn't able to grasp the main idea of the chord inversions just yet.

Hotel California
In instrument class, we asked Mr. John about what jazz song sounds good when we play it instrumentally only. I remembered that I can play a song called Hotel California, however it's not really a jazz song, but i just figured that since it sounds really good when I play it in guitar, I decided that I'm gonna learn it. After I did learn some parts of the song, I teach the song to a couple of my friends too.

What is the role of music in your life?
To me, music is what brightens up my life. It gives me joy and happiness whenever I listen to it. Music accompanied me whenever I'm happy or sad. I like musics that really reflects the feelings that are contained inside me. Sometimes I listen to songs that I can listen and sing too at the same time. In class we learn about the music notation and some minor scales.
