Chords of Singing
Since we were told that we will have our singing this week, some of us practice our singing in instrument class. Mr. John accompanied us using his guitar, and he helped us practice singing too, since we forgot some of the lyrics.

Week 4
Singing
Reflection Question : How do you understand the learning of jazz through your assessments done till now?
Since we weren't given that much assessments about singing in the past few weeks, we weren't able to practice our singing yet. Instead we were learning more in depth about Jazz and everything around it. We were told to do an essay about the history of Jazz, the techniques used in Jazz, and also to research about the different types of improvisations.

Week 2
Mr. John Absent
Sadly this week, Mr. John was absent, so we didn't have time to really learn anything new about Jazz. As guitar students we all spend most of our time jamming together, helping others, and fixing each others' mistakes. We played some music together and sing-a-long together as well.

Week 2
Background of Jazz
Reflection Question : How is my progress in learning the Jazz and it's roots.
My progress in learning jazz is quite slow actually, since it's hard to adapt to the swing tempo that jazz are known for. Some of the chords in the song are a little bit confusing for me to play in the guitar. My progress in knowing the history of Jazz is also quite slow as well, since there's a lot of musicians that were involved in the making of Jazz.

Week 1 16-20 January 2012
When The Saints Go Marching In
In this week's instruments' class, Mr. John taught us about the song "When The Saints Go Marching In." It's a song that comes from the early jazz era, specifically from the band called Dixieland. I think that the song doesn't sound anything like a jazz song, maybe it doesn't have that jazz swing feel.

Interest in Jazz
Reflection Questoin : How did you find the topic of jazz and how did the teacher do it.
I think that we as students are lucky enough to see the teachers performed together, and it was kind of them to do so. We were able to grasp a little view on how jazz sounds like. After seeing their performance, I was more interested in learning the Jazz genre. The handouts that were given to us about Jazz music help me understand a little bit more too.
